Curious Columbus My Big Day Quiet Book, Fabric Busy Book for Travel (Blue) | 10 Interactive Pages, Color Matching, Counting, Buttons, Zippers, Buckles and Lacing, Book Zips Closed with Carry Handles

Very well done book. My 3 yo has had it for a few days now, and she loves it. I especially like the shoes and shoelaces. She's always been intimidating by tying shoes, but this lets her play around with shoelaces without the pressure of doing an actual bunny ear tie. She likes each and every page except, perhaps, the dog collar. She did that once and then was bored, BUT I completely understand that this book is meant for a wider age audience, so I'll accept this as just being too simple.Importantly, the quality of the build is good, the activities are engaging and the "illustrations" are very cute and approachable.

I have 3 quiet books and this is by far the best for a 2-3 year old bc it gives more opportunity for sustained interaction with imaginary play. High quality and great for travel.

I bought this for a 15 hour plane trip with my eighteen month old. While he played with it on the flight intermittently, as he gets older I find him really growing into the book and the activities. I liked the book when it first arrived. It's well made and has good activities relatable for a little person, but I must say, as time goes on and I see how my son plays with the book, the more I love it. He's just starting to talk and signals he wants to play with it with a "big ay!". He loves the tooth brush, zipping and unzipping the closet, putting his foot in the shoe and his all time favorite activity is the washing machine which he makes sound effects for. It's a beautiful book. I ordered two quiet books for the flight and this one, is by far the superior book. It has the largest range of activities and built in imaginative play. I'd definitely recommend it.

Curious Columbus busy books are great many things to do to keep kids quiet and developing skills like colors, fine motor, dexterity even time. My older daughter teaches my younger daughter with thr book and loves to do it. These also hold up well. You just have to make sure those little ones put back all the pieces and zip it up. That is a nice touch so that you don't loose those fun parts.

I bought this to keep my two year old busy during airplane trips and boy did it work. This book saved everyone’s sanity while we were stuck sitting on the plane for 3 extra hours during a delay due to weather. It’s quiet, sensory, visually cute and has easy, organized storage. The only tricky thing is that there are a lot of small pieces that run the risk of falling on the floor or getting lost but it wasn’t too big of a deal

These are pricey but very well-made. I bought both this one and “My Busy Day” at the same time, but they come with a 15% off coupon for a future purchase so I wish I had waited to buy the second one.While the recommended age is 3+, I bought this for my 15-month-old, thinking he would grow into it and could at least do the Velcro things for now. He loves these and begs to get them down whenever he notices them, but he is definitely a bit too young. The Velcro is quite strong and the pockets are tight (both good things in a product like this so pieces don’t get lost!) so you tend to need two hands and he just doesn’t have the dexterity for it yet. That said, he loves to try, and he points to things and has me do them for him. He’s already getting better at several of the skills needed, so it’s good fine-motor practice (although I’m honestly surprised he doesn’t get more frustrated by it.) So, it’s not the solo entertainment I had hoped quite yet, but he loves them and I believe will continue to love them. I also have to check the whole book every time I put it away to make sure the pieces made it back to their spots, which is a little cumbersome for now. A note on the pieces and little ones - if you have a little who constantly puts things in his/her mouth, consider waiting. Mine listens well and hasn’t had the urge to put these anywhere near his mouth (probably because the parts that come out are just felt so nothing to gum) but it could certainly be a choking hazard if you’ve got a little gummer. I also have a particularly attentive little, but a more age-appropriate busy book for his age would probably have more to do on each page.We bought these for a flight because every toy we use on long car trips makes noise and we didn’t want to be murdered by our seat mates, and I think they will be great for that... as long as we can keep track of the pieces. We’ve already used them on a three-hour car trip that turned into a seven-hour car trip (thanks, blizzard) and they definitely saved us from meltdown territory. We did temporarily lose a piece that went over the side of the car seat. Since there is Velcro on the back of a lot of pieces, they’ll find creative spots to stick themselves in a car interior. :-|

This book is darling. Always wanted to make one but don't have the skills myself. There is a clock page with moving hands, a doggie whose collar needs buckled, a closet of outfits to dress the little person, an opening mouth with teeth to brush, shoes, to tie, socks to take out from the washer and count on the line to dry, and adorable flowers to practice doing buttons. The pages are all a good scale and size for little learning hands, and I LOVE THAT IT ZIPS closed! That way, pieces don't fall out. I also had a minor issue with one page in my book and the seller was FANTASTIC and replaced my book quickly. Great buy for traveling, car rides, appointments, church, etc.

we needed some thing. Our kids could play with during church service and this was a hit.!It’s also great for long car rides or just something to help. Keep them distracted without the use of screens

Me gustó así es más fácil enseñarle a mi hija.

My 4 yr old loved this for a car trip and still plays with it at home as well. Great theme to each page although 1-2 pages weren’t as functional as others. Good quality.

Love this product for young children. Made with quality so can handle lots of use. Engaging and interesting for toddlers and even older children

Really good quality and each page a different thing for little people to do. Fun and learning in the one book

Fantastic quality, is very well made. Cute activities. A bit advanced for my 16 month old now but he can enjoy parts of it already, like the zip and pulling off anything with Velcro. Will get even more benefit from it as he grows.
