For the Moms:
A Quiet Book is a home-made fabric book designed to keep small children occupied quietly. They can be very useful tools to help parents of small children cope during church meetings, etc. They can be made in variety of different ways, including felt pieces, fabric scraps, crayon set with an iron, permanent marker, fabric paint, iron-on images, etc! The possibilities are limited only by your imagination!
We have formed a group of approx 12 people who are interested in coming together and making a quiet book. Each member of the group will be responsible for coming up with one pattern (either borrowed, bought, or created) for one page of the book. Once everyone has an idea in place for the page they'd like to create, each member of the group will recieve 12 squares of fabric (all the same size and type for consistency), which they will take home and use to make their page 12 times. When everyone is finished, the groups will meet again to swap their pages. Everyone will come home with 12 different pages which they can then assemble into their Quiet Book as they choose.
For the Tots:
The kids enjoyed the delicious snack of peanut-butter marshmellow bars and apples slices brought by Sister Baker as we talked about the changing colour of the leaves on the trees this time of year and made a leaf collage with crayon rubbings of different leaves and leaves stuck on with glue.
