As I recently participated in a felt quiet book craft night with some of my Momstown mamas, I have been inspired to keep on creating these magical pages. Miss O adores books; aside from a few stuffed toys, I think I could take away all of her toys and she wouldn’t really care as long as she has a stack of books. She’s not bothered with being read to just yet as she prefers to flip through the pages and look at the pictures. This is why I feel a felt quiet book will be awesome for her. I have discovered some fantastic tutorials and felt quiet book ideas that I’d love to share with you. I would love to see some of the work you have done or some excellent sites you have found with a great selection of felt quiet book pages – leave a comment below!
