Owen is quite the busy boy these days and I'm finding it harder and harder to keep him entertained during church. I remember my mom having a quiet book for us, and so I started a search to find one of my own. Unfortunately, they don't really make them anymore and the ones that I did find for sale were not that cute.
So.......... I decided to make one myself.
I did a lot of web searching for inspiration from other homemade quiet books, and then went to Michael's to gather some supplies. These are the pages I have worked on so far. They aren't complete yet, but they're getting there.
"Down on the Farm" - The barn door is a pocket to hold the finger puppets.
"Blast Off!" page - Since Owen is really into Toy Story right now, I made a Buzz Lightyear inspired rocket ship that can slide across the ribbon to go to the moon.
"Under the Sea" page - The fish can be moved around with velcro, and the dolphins slide across the string.
Once I get everything figured out, I'm thinking about maybe trying to sell quiet books. There seems to be a need since no one really does them anymore. What do you think?
