Quiet Book

My newest project idea, thank you to Pinterest, is to make a quiet book for baby bear for her first birthday. I found some really neat ideas on blogs that I'm pretty sure were made by professional crafters, and well, let's be honest, I'm far from being one, so I'm just hoping to do something simple. Here's what I'm thinking.

Cover - Dark purple or pink fabric with a print fabric "A" on it, ribbon tie closure
Pages:
- Winter: snow globe made from clear vinyl with beads inside
- Spring: grass pocket at the bottom of the page with flowers inside that pull out and snap into place to "grow", maybe a movable bee or butterfly too
- Summer: beach scene with ocean made from ribbon and a few fishies on the ribbon that move back and forth, a removable sand castle, pail, shovel and shell
- Fall: stick tree with fall colored leaves that detach, then bushel basket pockets in the grass with the numbers 1-5 on them, and leaves numbered 1-5 (1 leaf for number 1, 2 leaves for number 2, etc.)
- A ballet slipper with ribbon attached and loops of elastic to lace through, then tie in a bow at the top
- Removable shapes that store in a zippered pocket that get placed on their match (with shape name written on them)
- A felt Zeus face with a collar attached to unbuckle, removable "toys" and food for his bowl
- Clock - also have "A que hora?" written on this page
- Dress-up doll with outfits that velcro from their hanger spot to the dolly
- Cupcakes with interchangable frosting tops and baby's name spelled out with removable letters
Back cover will be an owl with a pocket for it's belly to store crayons, etc.

I'm not allowed to start this project until after I take the GRE on Feb. 4, but I'm already planning it out and thinking about acquiring supplies :)
