Quiet Book

For Christmas this year I thought it would be fun to make a quiet book for one of my nieces.. set out with grand intentions, I scoured through Pinterest to find what I thought would be the best pages. Little did I know the enormous task that I had set for myself.
 Originally I had planned on 15 pages:

• A page showing a tree with spring leaves
• A page showing a tree with summer leaves
• A page showing a tree with fall leaves
• A page showing no leaves (for winter) but with snowflakes instead
• A page with an ice cream cone
• A page with shape matching
• A puzzle page
• A race track page (with cars to play with)
• A page with a fish bowl (with fish to play with)
• A zipper page
• An African safari page (with animals to play with)
• A page with things to button (and un-button)
• A page with fake crayons to match to their colored word
• A page with flowers on it (with a watering can to water said flowers)
• A dress up doll page

However, after spending 5 days making 7 pages I started to re-consider.
Of the planned pages I was able to get done:

• A page showing spring / summer leaves
• A page with an ice cream cone
• A puzzle page
• A race track page
• A page with a fish bowl
• A page with a zipper (which turned into also a storage page to keep all of the loose bits ie. cars)
• A page with flowers that can be un-buttoned

And of course, a snazzy cover page.

I think next time (if there is a next time) instead of sewing everything together I'll whip out my handy glue gun and give that method a whirl
(Sorry the pictures are sideways.. formatting them is proving a challenge)
