ABC Reverent Book


Not quite up to the to making a fabric quiet book? This simple little book can be done in minutes and is perfect for giving little hands something to hold and look at during church.




This idea came from Oopsey Daisy. I thought it would be a perfect simple project for our church craft day last year. But after pricing everything the total was going to come to around $8 per book--which was too expensive. I decided to redo it myself adding the wording to the pictures, which cut the pictures in half, and allowed us to buy the 99 cent photo albums bringing our total to $3 and making it a doable project.

My kids have enjoyed their little books.

I thought those of you who share this faith might like one too.

Want to make your own?
1.Click on picture to enlarge.
2.Right click and save.
3.Get them printed off wherever you would like (I get mine printed at Snapfish for 8 cents each).
4. Insert pictures into a mini 4x6 album.





Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks for the great idea Alison!

    Thanks! I saw these on the Oopsey Daisy blog, but I too was wanted them to be more inexpensive! But is it just me, or do a few of the pictures not open?

    I love those ABCs. This would make a great gift too!

    I recently made an even easier quiet book (if you can believe it!) for my infant who isn't old enough for ABCs. I had a cheap 4x6 photo album lying around and just cut pictures from old Church magazines to fit. We have pages on Christ, temples, the prophet, Adam and Eve, and lots more. It was easy and free because I already had the photo album (you could probably get one from the dollar store) and it was a nice use for old magazines!

    They download as tiny kb files. How do you get them to download big enough to print? They need to be at least 500 kb, rather than 12-100 kb.

      I'm having a similar issue, but only with a few of the pages. I'll try them again and see if the issue persists. Thanks for much for doing the footwork for this. We're doing it for our SS activity, too. Luckily one of the girls gets a printing discount at OfficeDepot and it's only $0.22/page for color so we're fitting 4 to a page, making it totally affordable! Thanks again.

      The ones I'm having issues with are boytithe.jpg (O for Tithes and Offerings of the little boy) and both of the S - Scripture Study images. They're teeny. :)

    I tried to have these printed at Wal-mart. They said I have to have a copyright release. Has anyone else had this problem? I guess I need one from you. Thank you!

      No one else has told me they've had that problem. I downloaded them from the church's website. You can check there for more details.

      I know this a late reply but I just found this site. I have made many of these for my grandchildren. I bought the card packs at the local church bookstore. As Activity Day Girls leader, we just did a very similar project, using cut out pictures from church magazines (also noted in an above post) giving them to all the kids under the age of five years. We did half the books and left the rest for family pictures. We also used the Dollar Store 4x6 albums.
      They were a hit!
      Wal-Mart was correct in refusing to print. The pictures are copyrighted. But you can download them from the webiste and use them IF you will NOT be selling them. Also, in our area, you can print them (in color) yourself at the public library -- for free -- up to a certain number of pages (put four pictures per page).

    I'm also having problems getting the boy counting money in the Tithes and Offerings to the 4 x 6 size. Same problem with the little girl Scripture Study.
