Quiet Books

Here are the quiet books I made for the girls for Easter.  The covers are a little too big.  The snap across is secured with velcro.  The button is just decorative.

This is the first page.  The little pouch has velcro eyes and lips in it.

The 2nd page is a memory game.  I actually haven't made the paper cards yet to be able to play memory.  The third page is a clock.  I am still debating on if I should write numbers on the clock.  I am worried the marker will bleed and it might look bad.

The fourth page is an owl where all the pieces can be taken off with snaps.  The owl is attached to the page with velcro.  The fifth page is movable beads they can count.

The 6th page is a blanket they can weave.  The 7th page has flowers that can be put on buttons.  This is a picture of Layla's book.  When I finished this page Jade saw me using a green permanent marker for the stems and leaves.  She colored all over her page in marker.

The 8th page is tic-tac-toe game.  The 9th page is Noah's Ark.  I need to find little animals to put in the pockets still.

The Last page is a girl with hair to braid.  The little purse can hold hair ties.

That is it!  I started this project to help me learn to use the sewing machine.  When it came time to sew the pages and book together the sewing machine broke!  I ended up hand stitching a lot.  But at least I got the books done.  All the pages are the same in Jade's book.
