DIY Quiet Books
It’s Jamie-finally! I don’t think I’ve posted something for months! I’ve been wanting to post some of my summer craft projects for so long. I have always wanted to make my kiddos cute DIY quiet books and although they were time consuming, they were fun to make and they absolutely love the finished products! My friend Tiffany made a really cute one as well that helped inspire me and I hope to post photos of her book soon. I got the cute cover idea from her book. I got most of my ideas for pages online. I just googled “quiet book” and found so many cute ideas that I adapted. I’ll try and give credit to those I found. These have been awesome for church!
This blog is awesome: http://quietbook.blogspot.com/ I got most ideas from here-so thank you to whomever created it.Here are a few more great ideas for quiet books:

I’m wanting to start on one right away, but can you tell me what kind of material you used for the actual pages? My email is jmojmo24 at gmail dot com. Thanks so much! -Jenny
