   Thank you so much for your wonderful quiet book ideas. I’ve used the socks, banana split, and treasure box. I’ll be using more too. Your work is top quality which is what I like in my books. Thank you thank you!!!

   Hi, just wondering if you have any idea until what age kids enjoy quiet books. I have just discovered them and have made one page so far and REALLY enjoyed the creative process. My kids are 3 and 4.

      I can’t really say what the top end of the range is, as Jax is not quite 3, but I’ve heard of older siblings asking for them after seeing toddlers play with them. I think you just need to pick the right pages for their skills and interests. Less pages about motor skills and basics (colors, shapes, etc) and more open ended play (puppets, play food, etc) and educational (like the solar system).

   When I last made them, for our pre-school, my daughter was 8 and she and her friends LOVED them. I also made some special Christmas books that still had the ‘busy’ element for little ones but told a story that up to 10 year olds enjoyed.

      That’s a tough one! I’ll have to think on it…

   Thank you for all of the great ideas!!! I’m about to start on a quiet book for my grandson’s 2nd birthday. How do you bind your books? I would like his mom to be able to trade out pages as he gets older so I don’t want it permanently bound. What are your suggestions?

      This is how I bind the majority of my pages. I don’t like having them permanently attached either, unless it is a specific themed book.

   Thanks for all the patterns. I am enjoying making the pages and some of my own for my baby grandson, Ernie. By the time he is old enough to use them, I should have a book ready. The next one will be the rocket to go with ‘zoom zoom, zoom we’re going to the moon’.

   How do you recommend cleaning the quiet book pages if the are made from crafters felt that’s glued then stitched down? Can the be machine washed on a gentle cycle? These are so adorable, I can’t wait to try making a couple.

      I’m not sure about glue – never used it. I’d recommend spot-cleaning, but you could perhaps make a test piece with scraps and try out the gentle cycle!

    I’m looking for some cover ideas – maybe personalizing them with the family names. Any ideas?

       I’m definitely planning to think up some more cover options some time after our vacation in early May!

    Your pages are so amazing! I’m so inspired! Have you ever thought of doing a makeup or jewelry or shoes in a closet? I’m trying to brainstorm some ideas for my daughter’s book I want to make for her Christmas gift and thought those may be cute… But haven’t a clue on how to execute them…

    Would you consider doing a hay diddle diddle the cat and the fiddle the cow jumped over the moon page. I love your website it is by far the best quiet book site out there, thanks so much for all the time and effort you have put into this.

    Do you have a basic pattern for the quiet Book, without the designs on them? Just getting started and want to avoid too much trial and error on page size etc…!

    Hi!
    I would like to begin making quiet books.
    I’m debating on whether to use felt or
    fabric. Why do you prefer felt?
