Are your kids into activity books?
Mine are too, which is why I love this cutesquishy game bookidea.
This is an adorable and customizable project, and I know you will enjoy making it.
It would be a great gift for any child!
Step 2.Now, make a coloring page.
To do this, get a colored piece of paper for the background and a white piece of paper.
Draw your bird design on the white paper.
Step 3.Take another piece of white paper and draw a picture.
This will become a puzzle page.
Step 4.Color it in.
Later, we will cut this into puzzle pieces.
Step 5.Draw a maze game on another page.
Step 6.Now, make a tic-tac-toe page.
Draw the board and design the game pieces/ moveable elements, onto an extra piece of white paper.
You will also need to draw two pockets which will hold the tic tac toe pieces.
I decorated mine like rainbows.
These will be cut out later.
Step 7.Draw a girl on one page and then draw her clothes on another to make a dress-up game.
Step 8.Make your back cover.
To do this, peel the transparent part of your sheet off.
Stick the transparent sheet on the front of each of your activity pages.
Step 10.Cut off any excess from each page to ensure a neat and tidy look.
and cover them on both sides using wide tape.
Do the same with your puzzle drawing.
Step 12.Plan the order of your pages.
Take the front cover and the first page.
Attach the pages together using tape.
Securely tape three sides, leaving the top edge open for the stuffing.
Step 13.Add the stuffing and close it securely.
Now, the cover is squishy.
Step 15.Now, make the backbone of the book.
On the paper, mark how wide the book will be.
Cut at the marking and trim the excess so that your spine is the appropriate size.
Step 16.Decorate the spine.
Attach both covers to the spine as shown using tape.
Now, take each squishy page and attach them to the spine.
Step 17.Its time for the finishing touches.
For the coloring page, take your drawing and attach it to the colored page.
Step 18.For the tic-tac-toe board, cut out all the moveable elements.
Add the two small pockets on either side of the board.
Step 19.Add double sided tape or snail tape to each of your game pieces.
Insert them into the pockets.
Step 22.Cut your puzzle drawing into pieces.
Use snail glue or double-sided tape to make the pieces sticky.
Arrange the pieces randomly so that the puzzle can be put together.
Your book is complete.
How Long Does This DIY Squishy Donut Take to Make?
This will take you about three hours.
The preparation takes 1-2 hours while assembling the book takes a little over an hour.
