"Peek-a-Boo Friends" by Kim Christopherson

Page 1  (Personal dedication in heart & vinyl pocket for photo)

Page 2 (Opening Poem)

In the woodland, cold and bright,
Friends play peek-a-boo tonight.
Hiding here and hiding there,
Lift the flaps—they’re everywhere!
 
Page 3 ( Penguin Behind Tree)
 
Who’s behind the tall, tall tree?
Lift it up and you will see . . .
Peek-a-boo, it’s Penguin!
 
Page 4  (Mama Bear & Cubs)
 
Where did Mama’s babies go?
Lift her arms and then you’ll know . . .
Peek-a-boo, the cubs are here!
 
Page 5 (Deer Behind Quilt)
 
Deer is hiding, oh so near,
Behind a quilt hung on his ears.
Peek-a-boo, sweet, sweet Deer!
 
Page 6  (Bird Under Snowman’s Scarf)
 
Snowman’s scarf is snug and tight,
But something’s hiding out of sight . . .
Peek-a-boo, little Bird!
 
Page 7 (Mirror With Mittens)
 
Who is hiding? Can it be?
Lift the mittens, look and see . . .
Peek-a-boo—it’s YOU!
 
Page 8  (Closing Poem)
 
Winter friends all peeked at you,
Smiled and played their peek-a-boo.
Now it’s time to hide once more,
'Til we play again for sure!

Craft Night With Kimberbell Video

Now, I feel that it would be MUCH more helpful if I let Kim show you how she made the quiet book (instead of me trying to explain how she did it)! 

If you don't have time to watch the whole show, go to the 31:00 mark for the quiet book (although you'll definitely want to watch the entire thing to catch Cassie's amazing project, too)! 

 

 

After watching the quiet book segment, be sure to stick around to watch Abby make an amazing Norwegian Apple Almond Cake (recipe linked below)!

Norwegian Apple Almond Cake Recipe

Many of you have asked for the Easy Norwegian Apple Almond Cake recipe featured on this episode. Since this isn't Abby's original recipe, I'll need to direct you to the right source instead of typing it here.

  • Find an easy way to make your own almond paste HERE! 

I don't know about you, but I'm definitely going to give this recipe a try this fall! YUM.
