The Creation Quiet Book- Days 1 & 2

Evan is getting bored with people watching at church, so I have started making a quiet book for him. There will be more to follow in the coming months because I don't want any of them to get boring for him. Variety, people!

The Creation is my first idea, which will be followed by Book of Mormon Stories, Stories of Jesus, Old Testament Stories, and Primary Songs/Gospel Principles. 

It has been a blast thinking of creative pages and learning to work with felt!

Day One: Organize a World

Activities:

Earth puzzle- kids can use either the blue or green side of the puzzle pieces and create the world however they like. Puzzle pieces are attached by magnet. 
Solar System- three planets on the opposite page are removable so kids can put them in whatever spot they want. Also magnetic.


Day Two: Separate Light and Darkness

Activity: Find all the lights in the darkness. Sun is reversible with black on the back, moon has a pivoting cover (where the title is), stars are covered by black hidey-flaps. 

I haven't finished this page yet (I need some black thread first and haven't made a trip to the store yet), it needs to be sewn together. I hot glued many of the parts but will stitch over them too to avoid choking hazards.
