Are quiet books really quiet?

Ever since Kiyomi started going to sleep earlier, I have been on a crafting kick!  I've made cards, and started sewing.  Lately, through my Pinterest browsing, I have discovered quiet books, and I am on a mission to design and create a quiet book for Kiyomi.  Basically, a quiet book is an activity book (usually made of felt, cloth, or even paper) made to keep your child busy, and hopefully quiet, on car trips, plane rides, during weddings, at church, etc. etc.

Here are some that have inspired me:

The pages in these books are beautiful!
The Star Trek Quiet Book (because my husband is a Trekkie)
A cloth and felt book
Mr. Potato Head quiet book
Lots of different page ideas and more detailed instructions for making the pages

So I'm busy making a list of all the pages I want in my quiet book, and have realized that I will have to cut the list down.  I think I'll split the quiet books (ha, when did this become a multiple book project?!) into themes.  I'm planning the first one to be a food theme, because hey, I love food.

I think I really have to thank my mother for my love of crafting.  She made me a quiet "book" quilt when I was young, which was the same sort of idea, only each "page" was a square on the quilt.  I'll have to dig up a photo to post, but goodness, I loved that thing!  So excited to start my own quiet book(s)!
