You will need:
The Printable Quiet Book Page
Ribbon
Scissors
a glue gun
a Laminator and Laminating sheets (I love my Scotch Laminator)
Print the printable at the end of this post and then cut out each of the holes. I find it is easiest to cut out the holes with an exacto knife, but scissors work too. Once the holes are cut out, place the page in a laminating sheet and feed it through a laminator then, cut the holes out again. Cut the little mouse out and laminate it as well. Cut a long length of ribbon and hot glue one end to the back of the mouse and one end to the back of the page.
Add it to your quiet book and you have a page that is a lot of fun without a lot of work!
