I made this quiet book a year ago for Kaitlyn and Keira for Easter.
I wanted them to have a book about the miracles of Spring,
with the purpose of helping them realize that the
greatest Miracle of all is the empty tomb...
and that Jesus had risen.
I'm glad I took photos of the process so I could share the pattern.
It is now available on Etsy here:
Here are more views with a little explanation:
Tiny Buds Blossom Store the blossoms in the page pocket and have the tree blossom again in the Spring. |
Birds come back 2 little birds are stored in the birdhouse. Directions are given for making them into finger puppets. |
Babies are born 2 lambs are stored in the Mama sheep pocket. One lamb is a felt toy for play, and the other lamb is for lacing. |
Butterflies appear A cute little butterfly puppet with netting wings emerges from this cocoon pocket. |
Grass turns green Children can tie (or play around with!) the snowman's yarn scarf. Then fold the page down to see the Spring scene underneath....shown below. |
Directions are given for making the butterflies and flowers removable. |
Dry bulbs bloom Slide the tulips up the ribbon stems to see them grow. Lift the "dirt" flap to see the bulbs in the ground. |
Little eggs hatch Lift the egg tops to see 2 little birds in the nest. They are attached with elastic or can be removable. |
