How to make a baby book with your own hands from fabric?
This manual is called "get to know". With its help, children will learn to count, consolidate their knowledge of colors, develop tactile sensations, their logic and imagination.
To make such a book, take a thick, soft fabric, for example, drape or felt.
If the fabric is not dense enough, then when creating pages, you need to put a sheet of cardboard between the two canvases.
You will create double sheets of fabric, decorate them. Then you need to fold these blanks in a pile and sew them in the middle. Then there will be opening pages.
See how the baby's books are made with their own hands for the garden.
- First, decide what kind of topic your visual aid will be devoted to. If this is "Cognition", then place animals and animals familiar to the children on the sheets. You can make a typewriter for a boy. Pages with different seasons will also be appropriate, so that children know what natural phenomena are characteristic of each.
- So, it is better to create a winter landscape from a white sheet. Then the kids will clearly know that this light accompanies winter. Clouds can be trimmed with beads, make a strip of such material. Then you can move the clouds along this ribbon and show your child how to play with it. Also cut out circles from white fabric and sew them here. Decorate this snowman.
- The brown material will make wood. Children will know that it is leafless in winter. If you make a tree for the summer, then make green leaves, in the fall they will be yellow and red, and in the spring they will be small green buds. It would be nice to make books with baby pockets. So, on this page, the pocket is made in the form of a snowdrift. The child will be able to put some visual objects made of fabric with Velcro here and attach them.
- You will develop your baby and play with him at the same time. For example, you can cut skates, skis from fabric, attach to the back of the Velcro and put these items in pockets. The child will take them out and place them on the legs, made in advance from fabric and sewn to the children's book.
- You can put here other attributes that are not characteristic of winter. It can be a swimming mask, a bicycle. Then the child will learn what subjects are typical for what time of year, and what kind of outdoor sports can be practiced in winter, summer, spring and autumn.
These are the pages that may be in this book.
Introduce your child to the hedgehog. Together with the baby, you will draw and cut out this forest animal. When you do this, name the words, say what color his thorns and tummy are. Sew this animal onto the pages of the book. This can be done by hand or on a sewing machine. Attach a green cloth that will be grass. Sew some mushrooms here. Also attach the same mushrooms, but on the back with Velcro, on the thorns of the hedgehog. Then the child will not only look at the book, but can also attach the mushrooms to the grass and to the hedgehog's needles.
Attach a rope on top of the page so that the child can use it to move the cloud, placing it in the desired position. Attach the straps here to make it seem like it is raining. Let the baby know about such a natural phenomenon.
And in the next picture, the sun is shining with might and main. This will be the 2nd page.
To make a book for a baby with your own hands, take scraps of fabric. Create the sun from the yellow canvas. Sew 2 identical parts, sew them so that the child can move the sun along the string. In the same way, he will play with the cloud, which also has two parts. Sew flowers, insects here, this will also help the development of the child.
On the next page is also a sunny landscape. But here, in addition to butterflies, there are chickens. To make one of these, cut two different circles out of the yellow canvas. The big one will be the body, and the small one will turn into the head.
Cut out the wings and tails from the yellow fabric trim. Make tufts, beaks and legs out of orange fabric. Firmly attach the yellow beads here, which will turn into millet. This is how the child learns what the chicken cubs are eating.
The next page is especially suitable for a boy. A truck is drawn here. Rather, it is created from scraps of fabric. Doing with you, the child will learn or repeat the names of the colors. He will also be able to learn the basics of counting when he looks at how many yellow and how many red stars there are in this sky. You can also ask your child to count the number of squares of certain colors that make up the house. Such an educational book will help him learn geometric shapes. Attaching them, you begin to say where the circle, triangle and square are.
The child will like such a book even more if it has: a snake lock, soft elastic bands and beads on a strong rope. You can move them and play with them. Make squares of different colors for the child to learn these colors.

When the glue is dry, fold the cover nearly in half so you can do it again. The distance between the two folds is equal to the thickness of the binding. But first, you will need to glue the outer part of the fold of the sheets with glue. You can use the "Moment Crystal". Cut a strip of gauze, glue it here, apply a little glue on top again.
