🧸 What is a Quiet Book?
Quiet book (aka busy book / cloth book / activity book of wonders) is a soft, fabric book packed with interactive and educational activities for kids.
It keeps little hands busy and little brains curious – while teaching important skills like zipping, buttoning, matching, sorting, counting and more!
Perfect for ages 1 to 5 – with activities tailored to your child’s stage of development.
