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

Before my hands got too full with Aubrey or any future children, I wanted to make my own busy books or quiet books for my kid(s). These books are great for bringing to church or any other place you want to keep your little ones quiet and engaged. I made one busy book that had no removable pieces and one quiet book that had removable pieces (for when the kiddos get a little older and have learned to respect the pieces and not misplace them). Follow along as I take you through each page! All supplies used are listed below! #busybook #quietbook #activitybook
