So I have 3 daily activities in shoe boxes and 1 quiet time box. (We only have 3 activity boxes because we are out and about on Monday and Wednesday mornings at this stage of our lives).
The four boxes stack nicely under a table in my living room. They have such cute patterns and the were a great deal on sale at Michaels.
So I have my week planned out with a different activity in each box. (our unit study this week is farms)
Day 1- All of the necessary materials to make cotton ball sheep.
Day 2- Empty. We are headed on a farm field trip that day.
Day 3- A premade book that we will fill with pictures of our farm tour.
Quiet Time- That's Not My Tractor board book and Little People farm animals, tractor and farmer.
I love systems! I am so excited to implement this one.That said I am totally on the look out for more quiet time ideas so please leave me a comment with what you would put in a quiet time box. (It does not have to be farm related).

i JUST got those same boxes at Michaels yesterday. So cheap! couldn't pass it up.
I know Elaine! I should have gotten 6 but alas I only got 3. (To add to my collection of Michaels shoe boxes.
I love this organizational tool! Thank You! Thank you!
Oh Thanks for this! I have been wanting to implement something and the tray system just doesn't work for us, but this totally will!
If it is somewhat supervised quiet time, I would put in paper and all sorts of writing intruments... pencils, colored pencils, chalks, crayons.
Also for supervised quiet play little magnet sets are cool.
Otherwise, "discovery bottles" are great. Fill them with tons of small objects and water for wave bottles, or objects and beans or popcorn or rice for search and find bottles. Fill them with a mixture of water and oil, and/or with all different sizes of glitter.
That's just off the top of my head, if I can think of more, I'll be back. lol
I really want to implement this system into our homeschooling routine as well! I think workboxes are a fabulous idea! I just have to quit procrastinating and start putting them together!
BTW, love the "quiet time" box. Great idea!
