One of the gifts I make are quilted, soft "I Spy" books for babies. At about 8-9 months old, they begin to enjoy them; if only to chew on them!!! They are a quiet distraction during church, etc.
With parent's or sibling's help, they learn to find the objects fast.
I usually make them with 12 pages including the front and back covers.
It's fun to collect appropriate fabrics to cut and frame.
They are interfaced with flannel rather than batting, so they are not too bulky.
The pages are each 7" square finished.
Time consuming, but once you have accumulated a supply of "I Spy" fabrics and used scraps; they are an inexpensive baby gift.
My friends are having a grand-baby explosion --- I've made 2 books this month with two more to go.

Very cute Sally! I made eye spy quilts for my daughter and grands, but never an eye spy book. I did make Quiet books though. Certainly a life saver at church. :) Thanks for sharing with SYC.
hugs,

What a great gift for a little one!! I love this idea!
