My mother found the green backing at a fabric store and it is used as a cover on both books. It is durable and looks nice too. I asked my mom to find something that looked like scripture covers because these would be used mainly to entertain my little ones through church.
Below is the first quiet book we made. In order- Number 1: Apple tree (one of my sons favorites), 2: Mitten & Tent (hiding inside are cowboys & indians), 3: Road way (with fun trucks) & stop light (not finished yet)Another one of my sons favorites, 4:Flowers (that button on) and a Toy box (toys in box that come in and out), 5: Letters (felt letters in pocket that you match to the ones on the page), 6: 1,2 Tie my show (practice tying shoe laces), 7: Barn (open the barn doors and animals can go in and out)
Below is some of the pages from the religious Quiet book. I wanted one that would help maintain the spirit during church by reminding the kids about the stories in the scriptures. Number 1:SLC Temple, 2: A fisher of men (catching fish with a magnet fishing pole)and Nephi's boat (build the boat, the pieces are velcro), 3:Shape matching and Tithing (play coins go in the piggy bank and come out they also go in envelop pocket), 4: How to Dress (teaching what to wear to church) and Jonah and the Whale (Jonah is in whale pocket), 5: Six Bee's (honey bee's can visit flowers or go in and out of hive) and Noah's Ark (animals are inside of ark zipper pocket), 6: Missionary (dress the missionary up for his mission. Has different ties, Book of Mormon, shirt, belt, different hair and pants.) and a Pocket attached to the back cover.
I love these books and I am so thankful for my mother's help through all of this! I plan on making and posting more so stay tuned!
