Felt Quiet Book

I decided to get a head start making a quiet book for my baby girl since she's already starting to get wiggly at church. This book is made all from felt, and the binding that I used makes it possible to add more pages simply by opening the book rings. I didn't feel like I went all out whatsoever as far as details go, and it still ended up taking about 20 hours. Phew. Glad to be done!

To learn to snap there is a coat that snaps shut.

To learn to button and match colors, there are matching flowers with buttons.

 Dress the doll with felt clothes. 

The baggie has a velcro and a zipper to keep it shut and to teach zipping.

 Match the shapes with the sewn on outline.

 Tie a shoe lace.

Comic Strip Bracelet

This is an awesome kids craft or a craft you could make for a child!

What you will need: 

-sunday newspaper comics section

-about 10 small beads, various colors (small bracelet)

-stretchy jewelery cord

-Mod Podge

1. First you will need to cut about 10 strips of newspaper from the comic section. They should be about 4"x1/2". A little hint: if you look for an image that you would like to have on your bead, (ex. Garfield's face or letters from a comic title) cut that image out at the very end of your strip of paper. This way, it will be on the outside of you bead.

2. Start rolling up your strips of paper with the image you want to show on the outside. Glue the last inch down and then Mod Podge the whole bead.
