I have taken Ann's idea from below, and added pictures, so you can make your own or just print this one! You will just need to add your own pictures in a few spots. ~Liz at The Idea Door

Directions for a Gospel ABC's Quiet Book

Thank you to Ann Snider in NE for sharing this idea with us!!

I just got done doing a quiet book for my 20 month old. The idea is circulating around Utah. I got it at my mom's in San Diego and brought it back with me to NE. There are 26 pages--one for each letter of the alphabet. Each page has a quote, the alphabet letter and a picture of some kind. I went a little farther and did the alphabet on both sides of the page and made the front side church and the back side pictures of things from books and magazines that started with that letter as well. Example: "Y" is for YOU! Heavenly Father made you so special. There is no one else quite like YOU! --and then there is a picture of my little boy. I bought a nice half size three ring scrapbook and the filler--glossy plastic pages to slip the pages into. I like it and so does most of my ward. I never have it during sacrament meeting or Sunday school . It always makes it way back to me at the end of church. To keep the cost down on pictures or church art work I took all my pictures from the gospel art kit in the blue box. I took them and scanned them in on my computer and then made them 3 x 5 or however big I wanted. Each picture in the gospel art kit has been copyrighted and the church said that we can make copies for personal and noncommercial use.
I think I could get six on a page. That saved me alot of money instead of having to buy each little picture at 50cents to a 1.00 or more a piece. I used pictures of our family for "f", pictures of grandparents for "G'", a picture of our wedding day for "E" eternal families and for "Y" I used a picture of our little boy, other than that I had gospel pictures. "P" for prophet--pres Hinckley. I have no way of knowing where this quiet book started but....I also used a picture of my husband for "D"--daddy and a picture of me for "M"--mommies or whatever your children calls you. I hope
this helps.
I also take the smaller Mormon ads and laminate them and put them on a ring so that the kids can flip through those. I know one lady who has two sets of Mormon ads and then her children can play the match game with them. I used a cheap photo album--small size for my oldest son--now 13 and just bought some church art in the smaller sizes at the lds bookstore and put them in the album. He liked that. We also included pictures of all our
family since we didn't live near by. He also liked that and he could know
who his relatives were.

First Page
Gospel
ABC
Book
CAMERON (your child's name)
I put a title on the outside of the photo album Cameron's Gospel ABC's Book
I used a half size photo album with the plastic photo protector pages that fit inside. The brand is Hiller. There are made in Salt Lake. I like using the half size because there is not so much work per page. I also did the gospel theme on the front side and then cut out photo*s for each letter of just *things* that start with that letter. My youngest is only 20 months and I want him to learn his ABC*s as well with this book. It*s good for two things. Beware: When Cameron gets to the pictures of Dad or me, he says very loudy *DADDY!* His dad is up on the stand every week and so it is hard. It*s pretty funny*sometimes. Have fun!

For this page I used the picture of Christ at the second coming*with angels round about him*blue coloring). I also used some *ark stickers.*
