Quiet Book!

Brynne is loud by nature (thanks Chris :) ) and likes to talk a LOT! It has become quite difficult to keep her contained and quiet during church, so I decided to make a quiet book! There are tons of cute quiet book ideas on Pinterest!

 
The cover, it's not exactly what I wanted, but it'll do for now!

Count the watermelon seeds, I love watermelons!

The shapes matching page may have some changes soon. I put magnets in the shapes and on the page of the book so they would stay put, but it makes the shapes pretty heavy. It is causing some of them to come off the ribbon, as you can tell if you look close enough at the heart :) I may take all the magnets out and just let her lay them on the right spot.

Mr. Potato Head, all the body parts are stored in the suitcase.

Mrs. Potato Head

Brynne's usual take on the Potato Head, she always puts the shoes and mouths upside down and everything scrunched up at the top!

The little chick, pig, and cow are little finger puppets that stick down in the brown pocket. I need a better picture for the peek a boo mittens, but keep forgetting to print one!

Match the socks

Pull the socks out of the dryer and match them on the other page. They are also held in place with small magnets.

The flowers go in/out of the vase. And you can put the (fake) coins in the piggy bank. The coins are stored in the little velcro pocket at the bottom.

Back cover, I plan to write something in the circle, just not sure what yet! I'm thinking my initials.

Overall it was not a hard project, just time consuming! But it doesn't help that we went to TN for 5 weeks when I was half way done and then didn't pull the sewing machine out for 4+ weeks after we got home! I finished it just in time for church this past Sunday. She was not completely quiet, but definitely more quiet than usual so I call it a success!
