Quiet Book Patterns: 25 Easy-to-Make Activities for Your Children

I just got this in the mail. I'm so excited to make the pages! The book is laid out with how to get started, gathering supplies, instructions for pages, and how to finish the book. The designs are cute and creative - but simple enough for a novice like me. It includes a cd with the templates needed for all the designs. My toddler is going to love it when I'm done. She sat with me and we "read the story". She said the circus train is her favorite. I love all the learning activities: tying a bow, counting change, zippers, building robots, a maze, matching socks designs, drawing, weaving an oven mitt, matching shapes, using buttons, finger puppets, and finishing puzzles. I can't wait to get started! :-)

I have been considering making a quiet book but didn't want to have to do a lot of the grunt work, & this book has taken care of a LOT of the things that made it seem like a nearly impossible task. Her suggestions for materials are great - she definitely uses things I wouldn't have thought of. Her ideas are super creative and the CDROM templates are clear and easy to use. GREAT book. Can't wait to try it!!

I like this book but I was not as impressed as I thought I would be. Don't get me wrong, I cannot wait to get started on a quiet book for my nephew. I just thought she would have more templates geared toward what is popular among children: farm animals, trucks, etc. The instructions are very easy to understand and the illustrations and pictures are wonderful. Only thing I was really indifferent about was that she tied her books together instead of binding them. I would think ribbon would eventually be torn (especially by my nephew lol) and the holes would get stretched and then eventually the book would fall apart. My suggestion is to add about a quarter inch in width to the material and sew the pages together with a seam in the middle. But maybe her kids aren't as rough as mine and don't tear things apart, I don't know! All in all she is very talented and I will be using most of her instructions and supplies!

Love this book of patterns. It contains great ideas for making a quiet book for a child who must be still at church or elsewhere. I have used some of the separate pages as games for the Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes. The felt road play mat and a couple of small toy cars make a good shoe box gift for a boy. Most pages are very easy to make using fusible web so there is no sewing involved. The book comes with a CD that has all the patterns on it. You can slip it into the laptop and print what ever patterns you want and they are full sized, no need to enlarge.

I have never considered making a quiet book before but this book has not only inspired me to make one, but has all the information I need to not only simplify the project but actually make it fun!! This book includes clear instructions and patterns for beautiful and unique pages...along with ideas for activities to do with the pages. It also includes printable images to use with some of the pages. If you're considering making a quiet book you can't go wrong with this book!

I loved the pictures and patterns for each page. They're time consuming, but relatively easy. But the instructions for putting each page together are terrible. I could not get stick on velcro to work at all, I ended up having to rip it all off, and replace it with sew-in velcro. It's been sitting around for a few weeks and a few of the fused pieces are already starting to fall off, so I'll be going back to sew those on as well. The pages end up being pretty thick, so I could only put 10 pages in a book, which means I made two books total. So if you're looking for design templates, this is great, but use your better judgement and sew everything in.

Patterns require cd in computer Most computers do not have cd access

WORTH EVERY PENNY! You won't regret buying this book! Whether you're a seasoned quiet book maker, or brand new (myself included), there's something for everyone: easy to follow instructions, pictures to help at each step, stress-free templates, variety of ideas, supplies list. The pages come together quickly with all your resources gathered (especially with the Gingher Applique scissors, they are heavenly). I'm looking forward to "Quiet Book Patterns II", when Amy has another collection of quiet book patterns to add to this one. I can't stop making pages! Both my 5 yr old daughter and 2 yr old son love the pages I've made so far, and interact with each page according to their development levels, such as make believe, telling stories, and patterning for the 5 year old, and saying names, sorting and matching for the 2 year old. Hours and hours of quiet fun for all of us! Thank you Amy!

Wir finden dieses Ebook (in Englisch) echt super. Denn schon lange hatten wir vor so etwas selbst zu bauen. Denn wenn man mit den Kids irgendwo hin muss z.B. lange Touren oder Arztbesuche, dann ist dies die perfekte Lösung für den Zeitvertreib. Auf einer großen Anzahl von Seiten ist alles bis ins kleinste Detail beschrieben. Skizzen zu den Ausschnittmustern oder sogar eine Verlinkung zu einer frei verfügbaren PDF hilft enorm, um mit dem Produkt ein Resultat zu erzielen. Wenn wir endlich mehr Zeit und auch alle Materialien zusammen bestellt haben, müssen wir so möglich mal ein Bild hochladen vom Endprodukt. :D Wir als Familie können das Ebook von Amy Pincock empfehlen. Danke

Really happy with this as I'm making a quiet book for my little girl. Good choice of patterns and instructions are easy to follow. Much cheaper to buy kindle version than hardback copy. I was able to print off all the sheets too for making designs.

PDF's are not available for download

Idéal pour avoir des idées de coutures.

I get the Kindle version. The book is quiet good but the website included for acces to print the templates didn't work. When I tried contacting the publishing company on multiple occasions, I never received a reply.
