My mom made this amazing quiet book (also called a busy book) for Claire to play with while I'm trying to get a few things done around the house. She's a little young for it right now, but the idea is that it would only be brought out when I need to keep her occupied while I'm making dinner or something like that.
She made all of the pages with her stash of fabrics, scraps from the senior center and things she found at the thrift store. She did have to buy some of buttons and things for a couple bucks here and there. Claire is so lucky to have such a talented Grandma!
