Quiet Book

I like to have a little project going on at all times. Something I can pull out to work on when I get a minute alone to keep me from wasting all my time on pinterest. This has been the project for the last little while. And by a little while, i mean it took forever. But I loved making it! There were a few frustrating things that I came across every once in a while that just about drove me crazy (Bri...) but it was so worth it. It was a labor of love for my children. Here it is:

 

Cover

Barn page

6 finger puppets

The pieces of the caterpillar snap on/off and can be stored in the little "cocoon"

 

Balloons button on/off

The rocket moves up and down that string and the other pieces velcro on

Garden page. There are buttonholes in the dirt so carrots and beets/radishes can be planted/harvested from the garden  and the apples have velcro on the backs.

Veggies can be put in the back of the truck after being picked. The wheels button on/off

My favorite, the road page.

This page has home, the fire station (which stores the fire truck), the church, and a building that can catch on fire.

Carnival, school, tunnel (Trevor's current favorite), gas station and car wash

The animal heads have velcro sewn on the backs

Abacus page with wooden beads (painted by Ben)

Giant pocket on the back cover to hold cars, crayons, etc.
