How old is you LO now? I'm hoping mine is a good age for one (21 months) and not on the verge of being too old for it? She's really into learning how to do things (zip, button, etc.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-quiet-or-busy-book-for-my-lo#post-1959372 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 09:10:16 +0000 hellobeeboston 1959372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh I love these. I will hunt today too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-quiet-or-busy-book-for-my-lo#post-1959371 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 09:09:43 +0000 mediagirl 1959371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: @Mrs. Rabbit: I saw these in person a couple weekends ago. They are incredible. They are made SO well. The most expensive one has things like buttoning buttons, tying string and snapping. It's expensive (but not $100) and I can attest to the quality after seeing it in person. If it was 1 year ago, I would have bought it for my lo. </p> <p><a href="http://twobusylittlebees.com/busy-books.html" rel="nofollow">http://twobusylittlebees.com/busy-books.html</a></p> <p>Also, if you want to get one, I have a code for 15% off. Wall me if you want it. </p> [attach=251/14/nflm4i.285x204.2014-11-25_9-11-36.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-quiet-or-busy-book-for-my-lo#post-1959369 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 09:08:27 +0000 MapleMoose 1959369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My grandmother has been hunting for one of these books with the zippers, buttons, velcro, etc for months now and no luck in any stores around here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-quiet-or-busy-book-for-my-lo#post-1959329 Tue, 25 Nov 2014 08:25:15 +0000 Mrs. Rabbit 1959329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>bumping this, because grandparents are asking for Christmas gift ideas, and this seems like it'd be great. </p> <p>@Anagram: Did you end up finding one that you like for a good price? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-quiet-or-busy-book-for-my-lo#post-1871578 Sat, 20 Sep 2014 21:34:41 +0000 Bao 1871578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: there's one on Amazon for $23, not sure quality though.

So, $20-$25 a page! yikes</p> <p>Looks like really nice craftsmanship, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-quiet-or-busy-book-for-my-lo#post-1871571 Sat, 20 Sep 2014 21:28:31 +0000 Bao 1871571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: which one of those?

You just stirred up memories of my quiet book from childhood. My mom had made mine though and I loved it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-quiet-or-busy-book-for-my-lo#post-1871550 Sat, 20 Sep 2014 21:09:35 +0000 Anagram 1871550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did any of you have "Quiet books" growing up? I had one and my little sister had one that I loved when I was little--SUPER well made (and hand made), cool things on every cloth page for a toddler to do.</p> <p>My mom still has my little sister's at her house, and my LO was enthralled with it our last visit there. But I can't seem to find any good ones online--On Etsy, I'm seeing a lot of boring ones, for lack of a better word. Cute but not really functional.</p> <p>The one my mom owns has buttons, snaps, fake "hair" to braid, zippers, felt pictures with movable parts, etc.</p> <p>Have you seen any good ones lately? </p>
