Quick and easy Quiet Book DIY

If you have a toddler then you'll understand the eternal quest for five minutes of quiet...not the suspicious kind where you're thinking...hang on a minute what is going on....but the ahhh and relax kind. I love crafting but I am not as time rich as I used to be.. see above! Here's a quickly constructed quiet book that is really simple but will hopefully keep your toddler amused long enough for you to drink that hot cup of tea!
























What you'll need:

9 sheets of foam A5 size - If you want to make the exact same book then 2 pale blue, 1 dark blue, 1 green, 1 white, 1 orange, 2 pink and 1 purple.

3 sheets of yellow felt
2 sheets of dark blue felt
2 sheets of green felt
1 sheet red felt

7 felt flowers

pack of foam sea animals - 6 minimum

pack of wooden birds - 5 minimum

A person shaped card/foam/ felt

Foam Faces with different expressions - match size to person shape

Tiny cards and envelopes or gift tags etc.

double sided sticky foam

velcro/ hook and eye tape

glue gun

imagination : )


optional bag

Please choose child friendly materials and ensure that things are large enough to avoid being a choking hazard.


I built the book free hand with simple shapes so I am afraid I don't have templates, however the pictures should be really clear and if you have any questions comment below. Enjoy!
