To try and fix this issue, I decided to make a church bag for her that would have many different (quiet) items to keep her busy in church. I decided to visit my local dollar store to see what I could find.
Here is what I came home with:
I found several things including:
- A color book and new crayons
- A magnetic dress-up doll
- Stickers
- A magnetic drawing board
- A plastic folder
I am planning on putting just a few of the coloring pages in the folder along with one sheet of stickers, some blank pages of paper, and a few Sesame Street color sheets printed from Parenting. I am hoping that by using the folder, I can cut down on some of the noise from turning pages, ripping pages, etc.
These will be only things she gets to play with at church, hoping the excitement will help in keeping her interested in them. Wish me luck!
What do you do to keep your children quiet at church?
