Activity Books

Activity books for children — soft, interactive books with things to touch, pull, open, or fasten. An activity book is often a child's first book, since it doesn't yet require a story or letters, just something to do. Touching and opening build fine motor skills and attention, while also teaching how to handle a book. A soft fabric book suits a baby right away, since it's safe to put in the mouth and can be washed. A felt activity book suits children from around age one, once they can manage the details. An activity book is a great companion for the car and the waiting room, since it needs no batteries or screen.
