Lift the Flap Number Page

 

My daughter loves counting, so I had to have a number page in her book.

 

I used the Ellison die machine at my school to cut out the numbers.  I did this because my attempts at using a pattern or free form cutting numbers turned out terrible.  Due to this, the numbers were bigger than I wanted them to be. 

 

I actually sewed the numbers on the black felt, and then the felt squares onto the page.  Then I worked on another page while I decided what to put under the flaps.

 

DD loves buttons and we have a pretty large collection. I found all of these in her button bucket.  I tried to do as much similar shapes or color as possible.

 

Under the two there are two red triangles, and under the 3 there are three orange ovals.  Once again, I chose buttons based on the buttons I already had.

 



This page is definitely not my favorite, but I know my daughter will love it.  She loves to lift the flaps, and she loves buttons, shapes, and colors.
