A Girls Quiet Book

Since I wont be posting pictures of my quilt for awhile, I decided to post pictures of an old project that I did for my kids. I wanted to make a quiet book for my kids, but couldn't find a pattern that I liked, so I decided to make my own patterns. I think most of them turned out okay, but as with everything else, I've learned in the process things I'll do differently if I ever make another one.
Tic-Tac-Toe page: has a pouch with pieces to play the game.
Flower page: has removable flowers that are interchangeable.
Gumball page: has gumballs that come off so they can match the colors.
Purse page: has bracelets, play lipstick, etc. inside.

Flower vase page: the flowers are removable. This is the only page the baby can play with and she LOVES them!
Shoe page: laces for the kids to practice tying their shoes.

Puzzle pages: the three pockets have the pieces to three different puzzles, and the other page is for them to put the puzzles together.
Star puzzle.
Flower puzzle.
Heart puzzle.
Shape page: the shapes are velcroed on so they can match the shapes.
Hair page: has a pocket with hair ties so the kids can practice braiding and rubber banding the ends.

I stitched our last name on the back just in case we leave it laying around at church or something.

Close Your Clothes!

I can't get over how cute  this Close Your Clothes book is that I found on forty-two roads ... a super cute blog I just ran into. She used some old clothes with different clips, buttons, zippers, etc. to teach her daughter how to dress herself. I'm so impressed and think this is a project I might do in the near future. Thank you, forty-two roads, for the wonderful idea!!
