An engaging busy book designed to support toddlers’ early learning through joyful play and exploration. With 8 interactive, activity-filled pages inspired by Montessori principles, the book invites little ones to explore everyday scenes, animals, shapes, colours, and numbers at home and on the go.
Designed especially for toddlers from 12 months and up, this unique busy book features easy-to-use riptape activities thoughtfully created with child development experts to match this stage. With soft textures, simple or precise matching and attaching games, finger puppets, friendly illustrations, and more, this book supports children on their individual developmental journeys. It creates a rich, confidence-building play experience that supports fine motor skills and cognitive development, gradually helping toddlers develop problem-solving abilities and encouraging exploration, creativity, and meaningful parent–child bonding time. Thanks to its compact design and variety of activities, this book keeps little hands busy and provides opportunities for fun, development, and engagement on the go.
12–18 months:
Encourage your toddler to explore the book freely. Let them open and close the barn windows to discover the animals hiding behind them, remove the pieces and attach them however they like. Join in from time to time - talk about the animals, vegetables, shapes and colours you see. Shared play helps your toddler learn new words, build early language skills, and strengthen communication through everyday interaction.
18–24 months:
Offer simple age-appropriate challenges such as matching shapes or finding animals together. When you play alongside your child, your interest and presence enrich the learning experience while strengthening your bond and supporting early social development.
24+ months:
Now it’s time for more advanced play. Play together and talk about the tasks - matching a mother to her baby, pairing animals with their silhouettes or shapes. Expand the play through imagination: Where is the tractor going? What are the animals doing today? Use the finger puppets to create little stories together.
36+ months:
Extend the activities in new ways. Mix the removable pieces and sort them into groups - cows together, ducks together, and more. The number train introduces early math concepts such as recognising numbers, counting and understanding quantities from 1–5.
