Sophie's Quiet Book

While in Utah last month my mom and I made a Quiet Book for Sophie. I wouldn't have been able to get this book done without my mom's help. Having two people work on this really made such a huge difference--especially with taking care of a newborn at the same time. Many of the ideas for this book were stolen from my friend Lucy because she is a creative genius. Some of the ideas were found on the internet, and some I made up myself. Hopefully Sophie will enjoy this book when she is a little older.


The first page is matching shapes.

The house doors and windows open to pictures of family members. The face pieces are placed on the head, and there are parts for a man and woman.

The buttons are counted and placed on top of the corresponding written number.

The tent opens and a moose and snake can be removed. And the hands on the clock can move to different times.

The barn doors open to different farm animal finger puppets. The painters pallet is used to learn different colors.


A little girl has different clothes that can be put on. And Noah's ark has a bunch of plastic animals that can be stored inside.

The tree represents all the seasons: blossoms for spring, apples for summer, colored leaves for fall, and snowflakes for winter. The shoe can be laced and tied.

The last page is just a large pocket for all the extra pieces--like Noah's animals.
