Tentatively here are some ideas I have listed, if you have other thoughts that you think is good for your kids, please let me know. I will convert your ideas to instruction so you can make it yourself!

Quiet book ideas (can choose 4 or 6 out of the given words):

(k) things at swimming pool (swimming costume, ball, float, sand dig)

(l) things at home (television, cookware, fridge, cupboard)

(m) things at school (blackboard, chalk, chair, table, teacher, book, bag, water bottle, uniform)
