Sunday Quiet Books

I have been tearing out pages from The Friend magazine for a few years now with the thought that I would put them into notebooks with top loaders and let the kids use dry erase markers over and over again on the pages. Dry erase markers, however, do not wash out of clothes (or anything else, for that matter) so I had these pages tucked away with my crafts for a "someday project".
That "someday" came today. A few days ago, I saw on a blog (yikes! can't remember the one at the moment) my exact idea but with DRY ERASE CRAYONS! What?! When did these come out? How cool is that?! I decided to go to the store and grab 3 boxes and I assembled these little books for my kids to work on in Sacrament meeting. I took the magazine pages and backed them on colored paper for stability and gave each kid their own notebook filled with age appropriate activities. Jayden's has the crossword puzzles/word searches/code breakers/find the hidden object pages. Riya's has coloring pages and a few "find the pictures that match" pages. Emma's just has coloring pages - mainly those with babies in them because that's what she likes to look at.
Each book has their name on the front, a "sketch" picture of them to color and then their individual papers behind. I made it so that I could rotate the papers out to give variety from week to week.
Genius. Thank you blogger (I will post when I remember) for telling me about these crayons! My kids are going to LOVE them!
