As a lot of you already know, but a group of girls in my area (About 25) got together to make a scripture related quiet book. I have been wanting to do this for a while so I was really excited when one of my friends put this together. We each got to pick a page and then we have to make 28 of that same page. Then this Saturday we will all get together and swap pages and will end up with 28 different pages.
There is a wide variety of pages. Everything from Noah's Arc and Jonah and the Whale, to tying your shoe and braiding your hair for church. Each page will require the kids to learn a different skill, which is one of the greatest things about it.
I originally signed up to do a seasons page, but after doing the math and realizing I would have to cut out a bazillion little leaves and flowers I quickly changed my mind. I decided to do a weaving page since no one else was doing that and it turned out to be one of the easiest pages. I feel kind of bad because some people's pages are really intense and time consuming. But I still think this is a good story and a good skill, so I don't feel too bad. Plus I finished early so I could help those who do have harder pages.
Anyway, here was the inspiration behind my page from How to Make a Quiet Book.
And here is how my page came out.
Obviously not perfect, but I am excited about. I'm going to try and put flowers or a tree in that empty spot on the lower left, but we'll see. I know that my page will not be quite as fancy as some of the others pages, but it still teaches a great fine motor skill. I'm so anxious to see everyone's page on Saturday. This book is going to be amazing! I'll try and post some pictures of the finished product when I get it all together.
