DIY I Spy Book



Ok. I know my camera is terrible :(   But Little Man absolutely LOVES looking for toys that he already recognizes. I took some stickers and spelled out the words "can you find" on a black piece of construction paper and then I took a bunch of his toys and placed them on colored construction paper, took a picture and then took a few of the toys and put them on the "can you find" page.



After I took a bunch of pictures I printed them out at walmart and bought a cheap $3 photo album and decorated the front of it to say "I Spy". I had so much fun trying to think of I spy pages to make! I used everything from hot wheels, Thomas trains, and chunky puzzle pieces. Of course this is much easier to make if you can make while your little one is playing or napping somewhere else while you do it.
Here are a few more photos:



I didn't make them too busy because Little Man gets frustrated and then it isn't fun :( As he gets older I will try to make them a little more challenging for him :D

Jan Thomas



Little Man is currently obsessed with the Jan Thomas books, he has read every single on of them over and over! And I have to say I'm loving them too! The stories are hilarious and the pictures are amazing with their thick black lines and neon colors that really grab your attention!

Here is a list of the ones out right now:

  • What Will Fat Cat Sit On?
  • The Doghouse
  • Can You Make A Scary Face?
  • The Rhyming Dust Bunnies
  • Here Comes The Big, Mean Dust Bunny!
  • A Birthday For Cow!
Little man loves the dust bunnies! They are Ed, Ned, Ted, and Bob. They rhyme all the time, but Bob just doesn't seem to get it lol. They are fun and very cute books. All of her books are must reads for your little one!
