Handmade Gifts - for little ones



I have two nieces that just turned two within days of each other. I decided to make them soft books (sometimes called busy books or quiet books). Either way They turned out nicely. I think I will have to make one more for my nephew for Christmas.


Each page alternated: A letter to spell out their name then an activity

lacing

counting
 
buttoning
 There were also pages for braiding, feeling fabric textures, and a pocket page for tucking small treasures or snacks.

I am not a great sewer, but two year olds are not judgemental of jagged sewing seams. Thankfully!

    1. Thanks. I got better with each one, trying to figure out how to bind the pages together, ect. I think my 3rd one that I make will be a breeze.
