I went to the "What a Woman Wants" expo a couple weekends ago. I have to admit that there was a lot of stuff there that I didn't know I wanted, but I did find some stuff that I did want. One of them was a remedy to keep Olivia quiet and entertained during Sacrament meeting. I didn't know I'd find it at the expo, and I haven't tried it out to see if it's really going to work, but I hope so. I found this little "quiet book" made out of felt. I opted to go the cheaper route and put it together myself.... I don't know if that was the wisest choice, but this is how it turned out. It was quite the process... Much more than I was expecting, (especially all the cutting), but Olivia really enjoys the book. Now, here's hoping it works in church.

I thought the girls did a great job keeping Olivia quiet during church (JK). You did a great job putting it together. It was a blast watching you be creative.
Wow that does look like a lot of work, you're right. Oh well cheaper route is always the guilt free route right?!?
So I'll be interested to see how it all works out.
HOW FUN!!! I too hope it works out for you. Nothing like enjoying sacrament meeting in peace! It looks like a great time for her... good luck!
It is a lot of work to cut everything out, but I loved them for my boys when they were younger. Now they just sleep through sacrament. It's those social activities that keep them so tired...:0)
Hey my kids loved these books!! They do work, especially since Olivia doesn't have to share it with siblings. That is when it a little noisy on our bench! :)
Quiet books are the best. The secret is to only let them look at them at church. Then they are still new and exciting each week. Secret #2: Make sure each girl in the family has one. Otherwise the quiet book becomes the fight book.
