This is a fun idea for kids of all ages and is a perfect companion for church or even a long car ride.
Simply take a photo album, print some fun activities off your computer, slide them inside the album and let your kid go to town with a dry erase marker!
I just made my own coloring sheets, I found some I Spy pages online and I also made some game pages for Tic Tac Toe, HangMan and other fun games. I printed them off and mounted them onto scrapbook paper for some extra color.
Leah has already been playing with this for hours and the only problem I have is that I now need 2 more!
Color with the markers…
… then erase with a tissue.
If you’d like to use the same images I used inside my book, here are the JPEG pictures- click on them to enlarge, then save and print to whatever size you need.
Have fun!

Great idea! Would be perfect for car trips…
WOW! What a great idea. Thank you for sharing these pages. My boys will love these!
This is a fantastic idea! I'm going to use all your images (super easy), wrap it up and send one to each of my grandbabies! Thanks soooo much, you've just made me a rock star!!
AWESOME IDEA! I have seen fabric activity books that teach you to tie, etc, but they are a bit out of my reach. I love these!! I am so excited to make some!!! Thanks for the idea!
What a great idea! My little one isn't quite ready for this yet…I hope I remember to do this when she gets a little bit bigger!
Thanks for all the great printables! We made these last year for a long road trip, you can check them out at http://andreasideablog.blogspot.com/2009/06/activity-books.html
Fabulous idea!!! My little guy is too young for this yet, but I am definitely remembering this for later. THanks!
That is awesome. My oldest loves to draw and I am getting a little tired of all the papers on the floor! When he was younger and went through his sticker phase. My MIL got a little photo album and he could stick and restick the stickers as much as he wanted.
Ok… you rock!! You just saved me a few hours/days/weeks of time trying to create my boys "quiet books" for sitting in church. I love, love, love all the felt, uber-creative ones that have been seen out there… and that's what I had planned to do with the next several ?days? of my life. However- – I don't have that much time to spend on them! So this one is so perfect- so smart. And thank you so much for adding the pages to be able to print. Amazing! Perfect Timing!!
Blessings- Sarah
What a fabulous idea. This will be perfect to keep my girls occupied during church…it's tough with 3 under age 3 to keep them all still! My girls are going to love it!!! Thank you so much for sharing. You are so creative and talented.
What a neat idea!
That's a great idea…. ! Thanks for sharing…
Love it! Thanks so much for sharing! This will be great for my girls at restaurants to keep them busy. Also, my 3 year old will love it while waiting in the car rider line to get my 5 year old at school. Thanks so much for sharing!!!!
what an amazing idea steph! i love that!!!
Love this!! I will be making one for each of my boys this afternoon. Also, THANK you SO much for including your JPEGs- that makes this project so much easier for the rest of us. I linked this on my blog http://ificould-ificould.blogspot.com/2010/04/dry-erase-activity-book.html

That's genius! I will have to make one of these for church and trips to Grandma's!

Genius! as usual…just sheer genius!

This is fantastic! What a great idea! I may need to make some of these for General Conference in 6 months!
What a great idea! My kids love dry erase markers. And thanks so much for the printables. Now I can whip one up in no time. Then for the next long car trip I can take the extra time to make a new one or add to it.
I love this idea. Thanks!

I love this idea!
I would love it if you joined my "Saturday is Crafty Day" party on April 24th! Stop by my blog for details.
Thanks for sharing!
I made some for my Primary class by using folders with prongs and sheet protectors. Then for the pictures, I had LDS picture bingo and name the prophet with prophets' pictures, scripture word scrambles, etc. It was their sacrament quiet book.
thank you-this is great! perfect for so many times-can't wait to make some!
Have I mentioned lately how brilliant you are?
Love this idea! It is so cute and you made it so easy for the rest of us! Thanks so much. This will be perfect for church and trips in the car.
Love this idea. Thanks for making it so easy with all the printables. I am linking you on my blog. http://www.inaquietafternoon.blogspot.com
I have done this also. If you have slightly older kids, there are websites you can go to where you can make word searches, scrambled letter puzzles, and crosswords too. I made these in a 3 ring binder for travel. I used the names of places and people we would be visiting in the puzzles. You can put in a three ring compatible pencil case to hold the dry erase markers.
thanks for sharing. those photos are especially gorgeous. i'll be linking
This is AWESOME!! I love it! Thanks for sharing.
This is a great idea. Thank you for posting it. I would also like to share it with my readers (all four of them, LOL) in an upcoming sharing post.
This is such a great idea! Much easier than those sewing quiet books. I think it's so easy I will have to make one for all my kids, and my kids friends, and their friends… haha
This is awesome.
