I had a reader ask for suggestions on a quiet book for her toddler during church, so I thought I would put a few ideas on here.
You can always make books out of the stories that have been in the friend - cut them out, laminate them, and then clip together. A few examples are:
The Story of Jesus Christ
I Can Be Reverent
The New Testament
Jesus Christ Loves Everyone (scroll down a few pages to find this one)
I Love To See The Temple
My Book of Prophets
Joseph Smith - John Taylor
Wilford Woodruff - Heber J. Grant
George Albert Smith - Harold B. Lee
Spencer W. Kimball - Gordon B. Hinckley
Would need to find a similar picture of Thomas S. Monson
Sugardoodle.net has some ideas for quiet books -
I really liked the Gospel ABC book and think I might print that one out for my 2 year old.
Or the Dry Erase Quiet Book is a great idea - (I will have to look for some of the dry erase crayons she mentions because I have used the dry erase markers in the past, and they seem to get all over the kids!!) --The May 2011 Issue of the Friend had a special Fun Stuf section with 25 pages of mazes, puzzles, and more! (These pages are located near the bottom of the page - starting with Scripture Color by-number)
For those of you who can/like to sew, there are several links on there for making your own felt quiet book.
I have also found that sticker books (put the stickers on the correct places in the book) will keep my 4 year old and almost 2 year old "entertained". You can purchase them at Wal-mart for $1.00 a book, and they are located with all of the coloring books.
Please feel free to leave a comment for any other suggestions.
