Today I am sharing the ninth post in the Printable Quiet Book Series. This fun matching page was inspired by my husband’s best friend who loves the weather. I wanted to put together a fun page he would like to do with his kids and this is what I came up with. I love all of the darling little weather details!
From the first post: When our first daughter was little, I painstakingly made a felt quiet book. I spent hours cutting out pieces and hand embroidering, it took me months. My daughter loved it and played with it often, but I always wished it was easier to add pages to it. I wanted to add new pieces and new pages, but it seemed like a daunting task.
Our second daughter is just at the age now where I am wishing for a quiet book again. When I started saving ideas and thinking about what I wanted to do for her book, I realized that a printable quiet book would be so much easier. It would be perfect for people who don’t think of themselves as crafty and it would be easy to add more pages to if I wanted to later. So the printable quiet book was born.
Between my husband and I, we have finally completed the book and I am in love with it. There are paper dolls and play sets and all sort of amazing that doesn’t take more than some printing and cutting.
You will need:
- The Printables at the end of this post
- scissors
- magnetic tape or velcro
- a Laminator and Laminating sheets (I love my Scotch Laminator)
Print the pages in color and laminate the background page. Cut out each of the matching cards and then laminate them as well. After they are laminated, cut them out again. There are several ways you can make the cards stick to the background. You can add small squares of felt to the back of each card and a piece on each square on the background. You can also use velcro squares instead of felt. I prefer to use magnet tape on each of the cards and the background.
Add this page to your quiet book, with the pieces. You can glue a sandwich bag to the back of one of the pages to hold the pieces or you can add a small zipper pouch at this point in the book. I prefer the zipper binder pouches.

What A wonderful fun learning game. I need to play this with my niece. So fun.
My kids have always done a quiet time and this kind of things would be perfect. I like that it is fun but it also teaches important skills.
I love printing things out like this for in the car. It makes the car ride a little more fun, but also educational!
What a cute and fun activity for the little ones. I'm always on the lookout for learning activities for the kiddos. This will keep the twins busy.
We could really use this for church. My 2 year old is having a hard time sitting quietly. I love this series! Thanks for sharing.
Oh I love how cute this is. We need more activities like this for quiet time.
That's a great way to teach the kids about the weather and how to make them aware as well. I think it's awesome, thanks for all these easy to do activities for the kids.
Omg cute!!! This is such a fun way to get kiddos to learn about weather!!! I need to print this out for my daughter!
My nephew would love this printout. He has a big calendar in his room and I know he would love to make the wear part of his everyday routine.
This idea is so cute and clever. I bet your daughter has the best time with it and learning all about the weather.
This is one of the moments where I miss having a laminator! I know that my daughter would love this.
What a great idea! We do weather during our circle time in the morning, and i think my kids would enjoy this.
I am so in love with all of your quiet books. This weather one is no different.
These would be such a great activity for the kids to do. Being quiet while doing activities is an awesome trait to teach.
I definitely want to implement something like this in the routine for my kids. Thanks for all of the ideas.
I love the combination of learning with having fun. What a great addition to the silent book!
this is such a cute idea. i love this. i'll have to try it.
