  3. Hi Stephanie, I'm a follower and would love to enter your giveaway. My two have different favourite 'quiet time' activities. My nearly four year old has a favourite book series that she's addicted to and can spend an hour or more independently reading it to herself. The 12 month old loves to sit on her big sister's chair to draw with our bulky homemade crayons.

  4. Hi there. New follower here! Favorite quiet time activity here is reading books. On a good day I can often find my little ones flipping through books on their own, or my older one "reading" to the younger one.

  5. Hi there! I follow (well, had you bookmarked and checked in often), have for a while, tho just officially clicked the "follow" button today.

    My favourite quiet time activity is little people. My little lady can get lost for ages with them... giving me time to tidy the kitchen AND have a few moments to myself.

  6. Ooh! How fun! I've been a follower for a couple of months now and love getting new ideas from you. I think right now our favorite "quiet" activities are reading books and putting together puzzles. It's hard to call them "quiet" when you've got two toddlers in the house! LOL

  13. I follow your blog!!!!

    Our favourite quiet time activity is books and more books. She cuddles up in her Elmo chair and will be there forever. She just got a Leap Frog pen and is loving how she can listen to the stories all by herself.

  16. Congrats on the 100 followers-Wahoo!!! Thanks so much for sharing all your wonderful ideas-we use them weekly! I've also started following the blogs you follow as well in order to get more great ideas for our little toddler school =) Anyways, my little girl (21 months), Amelia Grace, loves to read-especially her Bible! I love to watch her cuddle up in her own little comfy chair with a great big pile of books. She loves to read to our dogs as well! She also LOVES stickers-can't get enough of them! She loves to sort them, too! Another 'quiet time' activity that I take full advantage of is our IPAD-amazing she knows how to work it better than I do! When heading off to take a shower, Amelia asks to play with her 'apps'-it's allows me to shower undisturbed! What a rare thing!
    Thanks again!

  18. I'm a new follower! My 11 month old's favorite quiet time activity is flipping through her board books. She occupies herself for a lot longer than I thought she would at this age, just quietly turning the pages and looking at the pictures. It's wonderful :)

  19. I follow your blog. Love your great ideas!

    Our favorite quiet time activity is doing puzzles. Alex loves his foam ABC puzzle and his Melissa and Doug Pattern Blocks.

    Thanks for the great giveaway and congrats on 100+ followers!

  20. I'm a follower! My daughter is just a tad bit older than yours so it's really fun to see your great ideas! Our favorite quiet time activity around here is tied between reading books and coloring.

  21. I've been a follower for a little while now.

    I'll admit quiet time is tough to come by in our house. I've got 2 active little boys (33 & 14 months). We have some success with books, but mostly what works for my oldest are puzzles or building things.

  23. Hmm, my son doesn't seem to have "quiet time" activities! He's a go go go-er right now. :) His favorite thing to do right now is to lay on our bed and gaze out the window and point to cars, people, ducks, etc. and yell "HI!" as they go by. :) Wittygrl19 @ yahoo.com

  24. 100 followers...way to go!! I am a newer follower and so glad I found you:) My four year old's favorite quiet time activities are doing puzzles, practicing writing his letters, reading books. My three year old likes to play with his figurines or stuffed animals or build something. My 10 month old is only quiet when he is sleeping:)

  25. Old follower.
    We love reading. My son has his favourite books that we read almost every day. The iPad is also a huge hit. He has way more apps on it than I do.

  26. I'm a follower and love stealing your ideas! :-) Congrats on growing such a great following - your blog is fantastic.

    One of Maddie's favorite quiet time activities is drawing - with markers, crayons, do-a-dots, or her latest - a paintbrush dipped only in water. ;-)

  30. I just discovered your blog, but I've added you to my feed. Our favourite quiet time activities are reading, and playing at the (makeshift) water table.

  31. I am a follower! I really love all your creative ideas. I love it when my girls do art projects (lately we've been doing stuff with foam stickers) together. That tends to be a quiet activity at our house. I also love to hear my 6 year daughter read to my 3 1/2 year old daughter. maknalex@yahoo.com
