Consider Your Child's Age
.Depending on the age of your child, you may want to consider
the following:
- Exclude small pieces that might present a choking hazard
- Design pages that practice developmentally appropriate skills (e.g., buttoning buttons, zipping zippers, etc.)
- Make pages that can grow with the child
- Make the size of the finished quiet book appropriate for the age of your child (e.g., smaller book for smaller toddlers ) or for its intended purpose
- Design pages that represent real life activities and skills (e.g., brushing teeth, setting the table, brushing hair)
- Include pieces that crinkle or rattle or jingle
- .Sketch out the pages that you want to make, marking what colors the pieces will be or what supplies you will need for each page. Or print off any templates that you may find on the internet.
- .How big do you want the book to be?
- .How many pages do you want to make?
