While we were living with my sister last year I made a quiet book for M to help keep him occupied during church and I had meant to post pics of it but back then my laptop had died and I didn't really had a way to unload the pics off my camera, so I never did get the pics up.
Anyways, I remembered all about it yesterday so I took some new pics to show you. It is a little used now...but you get the idea.
Everything was done by hand except the sewing around the edge of the "pages."
The cover/monster truck page. Malias calls it the truck book because of this page.
The wheels button/unbutton on /off or spin in place.
Shoe page. Velcro one shoe tie the other.
Camping page. Zip/unzip.
With little camping objects inside.
(the blue thing is supposed to be a sleeping bag...if you can't tell..he he)
Computer page (as per Kenny's request. :) ) Match colors/ count to 5.
Close up of keyboard and mouse. :)
Flower pot. In and out.
Fish tank. More In and Out .
I thought it would be fun to make a fishing pole but I didn't know how to make them fish-able.
A for Apple tree. Counting/in and out.
Lay the apples on the tree then count as you put them in the barrel.
B for Ball. Snap on and off.
C for cars. Velcro on and off.
one of the yellow stripes is coming off...
close up of cars. The fire truck was purchased and I made the others based on it.

That is amazing and such a good idea! I totally want one! You should give detailed instructions on what you used to make them and costs and such... :) Or you could just make me one and I'd pay for it and shipping, because you aren't busy at all with two kids... Right?!?! ;)
It was actually pretty fun to make so I wouldn't mind making you one! I used felt to make most of it and I still have a ton left, so I could easily make you one if you want. Email me @ longpicklebean@gmail.com and you can let me know if you really want me to make you one and if so, what pages you want. I can come up with the page if you give me ideas that calvin might like better.
It is super cute Tara! What a fun little quiet book. I'd ask you for one too but I think Preston would do everything you aren't suppose to do with it LOL He is a stinker like that.
That is so cute! I want one for my boys! :)
I love it!! I want one too :)
WOw what a great book! Is there anything you can't do? Seriously.
