Quiet Book

 I have been wanting to make a quiet book for several months now to keep Nathan QUIETLY entertained in Sacrament meeting on Sundays.  My mom has an amazing quiet book that I planned on duplicating, but once I realized that a lot of it was hand drawn I was out.  I am so not artistic and so I opted for finding a free online pattern where skill and talent were not requirements.  I enlisted my friend Randi to join me in this "oh so fun" task (partly because she is much more crafty than I am and I knew I would need her help).  So during every single nap time for about 6 weeks we worked on these babies, completing them just in time for Easter.

The color wheel spins and the balloons velcro

The "paint" is also velcro and there is a paintbrush to "paint" with

 The flowers snap on.  There are different snap-ons for each season. These flowers for Spring, green leaves for Summer, red orange and yellow leaves for Fall, and then just the bare tree for Winter.  The grass is a pocket to hold the flowers and leaves.

 The barn doors open where you find....

 finger puppets!

 The road signs velcro, and the car comes our of its garage pocket.

This is our weaving page. 

The petals are velcro also and can be placed in the flower pot pocket. 

Notepad and pencil to write letters that can then be placed in the mailbox.

The flag goes up and down as well.

 This page is for learning how to tie shoes.

The puzzle pieces velcro as well. 

Fot learning how to do buttons. (We created this one completely on our own) 

.

And of course a zipper page! This is Nathan's favorite page right now. Unfortunately, he used his new found talent for zipping to get Curtis' attention by zipping down his shorts...well at least he is learning something from this book!!

And just because, I thought I would throw in some pictures of Kaylee at this very moment.
