activities such as weaving, fastening snaps and more
Great fabric busy book, awesome for throwing in a purse and taking on the go without filling up a lot of space. Activities for this one are also meant to encourage fine motor development and teach everyday skills with pages for the following: The "My First Old Testament Book" includes instructions to make the following pages: • A front cover for the book • A "Match Up The Creation Days" page, with 7 snap on circles • A "Help Style Queen Esther's Hair" page, with hair strands and hair clips to braid or style the hair • A "Help Jonah Escape The Big Fish" page, with a whale with a zippered mouth pocket and a Jonah finger puppet • A "Help Noah Gather The Animals" page, with an ark with a peek-a-book door and a pocket as well as three finger puppet animals (An elephant, giraffe, and a zebra) • A "Help Ruth Gather The Wheat" page, with 3 strands of wheat and 3 hook and eyelet pairs. • A "Help Weave Joseph's Coat" page, with 5 different colored ribbons to weave. I'd highly suggest using the Cotton Canvas fabric for this as I've found it to be the most durable. Brief instructions are included on the fabric but I have also written out far more detailed ones. If they are something you would like please message me and I'd be happy to send them your way. Supplies Needed: • Iron on fixative lining (For the smaller play pieces) • Felt Lining (For the smaller play pieces) • Ribbon (Thicker pieces work better, these will be for weaving Joseph's coat and for holding hair clips) • Hair Clips • Cording or Yarn (for hair) • Elastic (Optional - small piece needed if you want the book to fasten shut) • A Button (Optional - helps the book fasten shut) • A Zipper (5 inch, if it's longer the end can be trimmed, for the whales mouth) • 3 Hook and Eyelet Pieces • 7 Sewable Snaps
