I found some dump truck buttons on Etsy and thought they would make a perfect matching game for Kellan's Quiet Book. Actually a pretty hard matching game - they're all the same shape, same wheels, but all have two different colors on them. My next challenge was that there weren't enough different color combinations. So I problem solved that #likeaboss and used markers to make some new color combos.
I had to really think through this one. For the game to be fun more than once, you have to be able to move the pieces around, so I cut out a lot of little squares. I sewed Velcro to half the squares and hand sewed a truck button to half the squares and then sewed the Velco squares and the truck squares together. Then I cut flap pieces, sewed those to the background pages, finally I sewed Velcro under the flaps.
My mom and I played it and it was very fun!
Thinking of making a Quiet Book - an assortment of felt will help get you started!
