Quiet Book
I want to put together my own quiet book for Colton when we are at church. He is getting tired of the toys that I bring for him and I want something a little more educational and reverent. If anyone knows of a great idea or a website that might have some good ideas please give me some HELP!

I have wanted to do this forever and still never have, but i saw the cutest one the other day. Simple binder metal rings, cardstock, laminate, and pictures. My Gospel ABC's you just have one word to go with each letter and a picture on each page. A-Atonement, B-Baptism, Book of Mormon, F, Family (fam pic), Y-You (Colton's picture). I can give you all letters if you want. Just a picture one not activities and what not, but simple. Sorry this got long :)
Kinda like Leslie's idea, there is a lady in the ward that takes old ensigns and cut out pictures and took the old missionary pass along cards and put them on cardstock as a picture book....their daughter actually at 18months knew a lot of the prophets by their pictures!
Also, once colton gets a little older...This book may come in handy:

Our boys love it and they can wipe it clean by themselves, they have all different themes to the books too.
Sorry so long :) Hope this helps!
This web site has a ton of cute things. great ideas to make yourself/buy kits

hey luv! 1st: my friend is OVER THE MOON OVER HER HOOTER HIDER!!! thanks oodles, you have no idea what a relief it was to give her something she'll love & use & won't have to take back to a store since there's not a risk of duplicate gifting on it!!! hee hee, you're the BEST!
2nd: quiet books...for an enrichment shortly after moving to REX there was a night where we made them using manila file folders. ya find a good gospel color page (or shapes or numbers or ABC's or colors) print out 2 of them. color the one, then have laminated on the insides of the folder, and cut out the colored shapes/numbers/ABC's/crayons/fish or whatever. then w/ velcro attached the shapes to their location on the color sheet. does that make sense? so then Colton can match up the shapes (or other) to where they belong. i bet it could be taken to another level too with color/activity pages of Jesus & the apostles or different temples or the primary theme.
Daisy had a quiet book i put together at another enrichment activity that used a little photo album and some pre-fabbed sheets i just had to color & insert with the coordinating pictures...let's see...its her Reverence Book we put together from people at www.thehandcartco.com...801-641-0630...may be something he'd be more into in a couple years, not sure. Daisy loved hers though. the lady to talk to is Vilate B. Van Leeuwen...maybe she's got some other more updated ideas for ya! whatever you decide, have fun doing it! we'll be in REX in 2 weeks, wanna get together? =) maybe this website will help too. http://www.ideadoor.com/
BIG HUGS!!!
oops, i meant www.theideadoor.com!
OR copy & paste this link into your browser. it's to this REALLY crafty gal, Nikki's, blog and she just posted about a groovy idea. perhaps you can take the idea & run with it more tailored to Colton's interests...http://whimsy-girl.blogspot.com/2009/05/restaurant-kits.html...also, my cousin bought some of those little metal lunch pails and printed a ton of stuff on magnet paper, colored & cut 'em out and they pack along in the lunch pails, but can come out to play & stick out their story on the outside of the lunch pail...she's done nursery rhymes, fairytales, numbers & colors & such...again, could do with different scripture stories, like an updated flannelboard adventure from when we were younger! =)
I have started one for Luke. I will have to show you what I have. It is a big/fun project.
