HOMEMADE BUSY BOOKS | Interactive Activities For Your Kids | DIY QUIET BOOKS TO KEEP OR SELL

[@christiedecker2724]

Seeing this for the first time on January 7, 2024. I have a grandson who will be 9 on Saturday. He has Down syndrome and is not gentle with books, his age mentally is between 2 and 4 years of age. While I won't get this done before his birthday, I will be making some of these pages for him to use. I'll have to put the book together a different way so he doesn't lose pages and the first book is better suited to him but I want to thank you for your ideas. Thank you! He wore out his previous commercially made cloth book. Now, he can have books again. Blessings!

[@LimabeanLiving]

I'm so glad you like this! Happy birthday to your grandson!

[@christiedecker2724]

Thank you@@LimabeanLiving Holidays, and birthdays, mean nothing to him, but they do to his father and I. (my son is a single parent)

I wish I had time to get so creative. My 2 yr old and 1 yr old leave me little time to make something as neat as this.

[@LimabeanLiving]

Now that I have 2 kids, I don’t think I could make this as fast as I did. Maybe in a year or two! I think they would still enjoy it then!

Quick Note: I just wanted to clarify that when I said I don’t like to use a lot of equipment, I didn’t mean supplies. Obviously this craft uses a bunch of supplies, but I didn’t have to use major machinery! However, if you have the cricut maker, you could probably use it to cut out all of the clothing pieces, since it cuts fabric and felt!

I made a really simple sewn busy book for my son's first birthday--but yours are really epic! I can definitely imagine how many hours went into these books! I think your system of one book with removable pieces and one book without is very smart!

I did the same with mine also.I made one with removable parts first for use at home and another one for on the go without removable parts.I attached movable parts with ribbon to the book page so that they are not lost at church etc

Great idea! I considered that too but avoided the extra work 😂

[@marialuisaclemente9946]

Dollar stores carry flat pencil cases with 3 rings. You could use that to hold all the bits and fasten it to the rings of book. Thanks for the great ideas, I'm going to make one for my grandson 😊

I feel ya on not having enough time! I began planning this while I was pregnant and am glad I finished it while Aubrey was less interactive. If I started now, it would take me at least twice as long!

[@normarobles4899]

Limabean Living I have a two year old daughter and she is super active and taking her to the store is crazy and nerve racking these books look great to keep her calm doing something maybe I’ll even try making a book like this even if just a few pages looks fun to make maybe you can make a video just making a page?

[@normarobles4899]

Ps your daughter is so cute she reminds me of Juan when he was little but in a girl version her little squeals lol

[@henryhuggles1199]

So cool! Definitely planning on making my own, love the washing machine and dryer. An add on page would be good for some dolls/people to attach the clothes to! If you make one please share

That idea did cross my mind. I will definitely make a video on it if I end up making it!Thanks for your support!

[@elaineforan4751]

Ive seen one with a washing machine and line with little pegs and a laundry basket. Next page was a wardrobe and little person who can wear the clothes. Lovely ideas.

[@LimabeanLiving]

I definitely thought of adding a page with bodies to dress. The great thing is that I can still make it and add it!

[@s.v.2969]

This is so simple but interactive! I like it.

I could have sworn I put them in the description box (but I guess it didn't save! Ahh!! Sorry!!)

I will comment again here when I've completed my list - so sorry it was removed!

Ok...I think the list is complete (found in the description box). Keep in mind, when I shop, I shop cheap. I didn't buy the fanciest items - just stuff that would work for me. So don't feel that you need to buy exactly what I got. Let me know if you have any other questions and I will try my best to answer them. Also, I hope to do another video of me making additional pages sometime in the upcoming months - so stay tuned!

I'll be thankful if you tell me what you used to stick those detailing on felt ?? Are they stitched ?? Or glued ?? Like in first book number beads .

I pretty much glued everything with a purple glue stick. The only things that were stitched were the Velcro items and zipper (I believe). Puffy paint worked great for decorating the felt!

I LOVE these! If I didn't have so many projects on my plate already I'd totally add this lol! I especially love the one with removable pieces. How long did they take to make?

[@LimabeanLiving]

I worked on them off and on for a couple weeks. I think if I knew what I wanted to do for each page from the start, it would have been much easier. Then I would do a day of cutting (although now it might be easier just to use the cricut maker), glueing, and assembling, etc.

[@fatihajayed7718]

How to make this book , the tips practice plz ???💚💚💚💚

[@LimabeanLiving]

It’s been awhile…but some tips: 1. Measure out and cut pages at same time to ensure a nice looking book. 2. Draw your designs on the felt before cutting so you get a shape you like - glue this side down or together with a matching shape to hide pen marks. 3. Draw out your plans for pages (labeling colors & supplies) and make sure you don’t need more of one felt color than you have available. 4. Sew if you can - I am intimidated by sewing. So in chose glue for the most part. But glue is much more durable! 5. Have fun! The final product may not be perfect, but it will be special. Make sure you enjoy the process.

[@shauntelwiley4597]

Hello. Did you cut out the pieces by hand?
