Black and White Quiet Book, Monochrome Book

This black and white book is for visual stimulation. I saw that for kids room some parents prefer not so many colors, not a mix a bright colors that can distract the kids attention. I am agree with this.

You can see the entire book in this video. 

As my other quiet books, this one has multiple uses. Each page has some ribbons for hanging. So, you can use them for a baby crib and you can change them all the time. 

Each page has a shape. There are basic shapes, such as a rectangle, a circle, a triangle, a square. Others are creative shapes: a heart, a star, a fish, a house.

This is the back of the pages. All the black shapes are sew by sewing machine. Here I attached the ribbon for hanging. 

I sew around the pages, 2 sides, leaving a small open for turn them. 

I turned the pages inside out and I sew the open. 

The book can be used as a book too. You can teach shapes. The kids can follow with their finger each shape.

The book is made of black and white cotton. It can be washed and iron.

Make a monochrome book too. It is easy. You can use white and red or white and blue too. 

I sold this book, but if you want one, please contact me or visit My Shop.

I sew the details: the sun, the bird, the flowers. For the bird, I attach a tiny bell in the beak. 

For the caterpillar I cut 5 green circles and I sew them. Then I make with black thread the eyes, the mouth and the antennas. For the flowers: I sew them only in the middle with yellow thread. 

The hands: they have different colors. I cut them and I make a button hole at the end. I sew the button on the clock. The hands are movable.
