Quiet Book Pages 21-24

I'm getting close to finishing. Can you say longest project ever? I'm starting to lose steam because I keep getting distracted by other projects I'm working on. The first page is a page for the kids to play tic tack toe. The second page is a page for the kids to match the shapes. The shapes snap on and off. I got the templates for the shapes here. The third page is a page where the kids can weave the pie as well as build an ice cream tower. I got to use my new ruffle foot to make the crust around the pie which was really fun! The last page is a gumball machine where the kids match the right colored gumball to the gumball sewed onto the page. This page came together really fast and looks very colorful!

Quiet Book Pages 17-20

Yah another 4 pages! The first page is a Rocketship that the kids can move along the string to the moon. This is a pretty basic page, but it's good to have some pages for the kids when they are smaller. The robot page took me forever probably because of all the detail that went into it. This page the kids can pull the elastic legs/arms and play a memory game that is inside the robots tummy. I got the ideas and templates from this site. The third page is a pages where the kids can button the flowers on and off. The last page is a dress me page. I made it unisex so it can be either a boy or a girl by changing the hair. I cut out a ton of clothes like a soccer uniform, a suit, skirts, dresses, etc. A ton of quiet books have both of these pages so it wasn't really my idea, but it's cute! I used this site for a template for the body of the dress-up page.

I whipped out another four pages! I'm trying to finish this project so that my house can be clean again this is a seriously messy project. The first page is Noah's Ark. Every good quiet book has a Noah's Ark page it seems so it definitely wasn't a new idea. The ark zipper opens and inside is a bunch of animal finger puppets that I got from Ikea for $6. The second page is a horse. This page is for kids to practice braiding by braiding the horses tail. The tiny pocket holds rubber bands and ribbon for them to secure their braids. The third page is a frog puzzle. I love frogs so I had to figure out how to include a frog somewhere in the book. I could also add more puzzles later if they get sick of this one. The purse page was actually inspired by my neice Kate. Last Christmas break she loved looking in purses and it kept her quiet at church. I'm planning on making felt makeup, a cell phone, keys, credit cards, and money to go into the purse. I'll wait until the rest of the book is done before I tackle that project. I will do it though!

Quiet book page 9-12

Meet Sammy the blue monster. I just realized that he ended up looking a lot like a Sesame Street character haha (A blue Elmo?). In these two pages the kids get to feed Sammy healthy foods and set the table. Sammy's tummy has a zipper so the kids can retrieve the food after it's digested to feed him over and over again. I got this idea from my mom's beautiful quiet book. It has sentimental value since I loved this page when I was little. I finished this page quickly because it fits into my sunbeam lesson this week, "I eat food and wear clothes." How am I supposed to fill up an hour with that topic? By letting the kids feed Sammy of course (well it will at least entertain them for 10 min)!



These lovely pages are the reason I wanted to start the quiet book. I saw this adorable oven and cupcake page and thought it was so cute. Thus it spurred my desire to do a quiet book. In these pages the kids get to count the cupcakes, put them in the oven to bake, and then put them into the cupcake liners. Cute I think yes!

Quiet Book Pages 5-8

I was able to knock out a few more pages. This quiet book is really improving my sewing. I was able to machine sew on the letters spelling Mail and the potatohead body perfectly! I think I will never hand sew anything again now that I can trace better with my machine.



These two pages are for the kids to play mail. I got the idea here. I'm going to add a notebook and a pen in the pockets so that the kids can write messages to each other and stick it in the mailbox. I could also make felt pieces of mail and felt stamps if I so chose later. We'll see....


The first page is for the kids to practice tying their shoes. I want this book to be a learning book as much as a fun book. The Mr/Mrs potato head was a blast to make. I cut out different hats, beards, glasses, shoes, noses, hair, eyes, etc. I used this website for the patterns. Above is featured the pirate potatohead, but their is a lot of potatoheads you can make with this. I think the kids will have a ton of fun with this one.

Quiet Book Pages 1-4

I started a quiet book for my kids. I'm really glad that I'm doing it now because it takes forever and I would never find the time with kids! I'm also glad that I cut it all out first (all 28 pages ya I know I went a little crazy with all the cute page ideas!) so it makes me finish it all otherwise I would probably give up after 4 pages. Really though I've been having fun with it. It's a great thing to do when I'm taking a break from studying and it's relaxing. These pages aren't how they will appear in the book, but I'm just posting them as I finish them.


The clock page is for the kids to learn how to tell time. They can also just have fun moving the handles around. The barn is fun because the kids open the flaps and have some finger puppets to play with. I copied this page from a blog located here.


The piggy bank is for kids to learn about money. I am going to pick up some play money to put in the piggy when I get the chance. Matt says he wants to teach the kids how to save. hehe. The fishing page is my favorite. Mostly because it's a page I came up with myself and it's cute! The kids will have a blast fishing!
