A Little Crafty: The Quiet Book

I have always loved quiet books, but I have never been very good at sewing. (Sorry Grandma.) So, I decided to try and make a quiet book for my Smaller Child out of paper.  This has been something I worked on about a year ago, then put away for some time, convincing myself he was too young for it, and he would just tear it up.  Today, I pulled it out again, made a few adjustments, and finally finished the Quiet Book one year in the making. 

Here's what I used:
Scrapbook paper
Cardstock
Mono Adhesive
Markers
Scissors
Self Laminating Sheets
Velcro circles
and a few brads and buttons

then voila!

Here's how it turned out:
Page One: Title Page... made it personal (with a little note from Mama.)

Page Two: Letters to spell his first and middle name.

Page Three: Building a Birthday Cake

Page Four: Counting and Numbers

Page Five: Get the Little Girl and Boy Dressed

Page Six: Picking "Apples"

Page Seven: Build and Ice Cream Cone

 

 

Page Eight: Finish the Kite Pattern

Page Nine: Mail the Letters (This one's my favorite!) Note that the mailbox flag raises too!

 

Page Ten: Telling Time

Page Eleven: Match the Socks (a good skill to learn!)

And Page Twelve: Tic Tac Toe!

I hope he has as much fun with it as I did making it!! (Maybe I should wait another year before giving it to him?!)

Bye Bye Birdies!
