ABC Reverent Book


Not quite up to the to making a fabric quiet book? This simple little book can be done in minutes and is perfect for giving little hands something to hold and look at during church.




This idea came from Oopsey Daisy. I thought it would be a perfect simple project for our church craft day last year. But after pricing everything the total was going to come to around $8 per book--which was too expensive. I decided to redo it myself adding the wording to the pictures, which cut the pictures in half, and allowed us to buy the 99 cent photo albums bringing our total to $3 and making it a doable project.

My kids have enjoyed their little books.

I thought those of you who share this faith might like one too.

Want to make your own?
1.Click on picture to enlarge.
2.Right click and save.
3.Get them printed off wherever you would like (I get mine printed at Snapfish for 8 cents each).
4. Insert pictures into a mini 4x6 album.





Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks for the great idea Alison!

  10. I love those ABCs. This would make a great gift too!

    I recently made an even easier quiet book (if you can believe it!) for my infant who isn't old enough for ABCs. I had a cheap 4x6 photo album lying around and just cut pictures from old Church magazines to fit. We have pages on Christ, temples, the prophet, Adam and Eve, and lots more. It was easy and free because I already had the photo album (you could probably get one from the dollar store) and it was a nice use for old magazines!
