One unique piece filled with the treasure of knowledge where little minds can discover the world of education and have loads of fun through multiple activities at the same time. This set embossed little minds to put their thinking caps on and be introduced to create the basic cognition of recognizing colors, the alphabet, animals, shapes, and much more. The set comes with a spiral book, 14 pop-out cards with velcro stickers on the back, two dry erase markers and additional velcro stickers in case any of the stickers fall off. The cards and the book is made out of thick and durable cardboard with rounded edges preventing any corners from being pointy. The pop out cards are super easy to pop out the desired piecers in order to complete the activity. What is even more convenient is that since each piece has velcro on it, they can easily be removed and placed onto a different page multiple times. The set comes with a convenient storage bag where the child can easily store the book, markers, velcro stickers and all the pop out cards on the bag, it's a perfect fit for everything.This is an ideal and cute set which increases the child's capacity and invokes the doors of knowledge to open. It is an ideal treasure to gift someone as well, will definitely brings a smile across their faces flipping through the colorful book. Both children and parents can enjoy indulging into the preliminary levels assisting little minds in understanding the basic foundation of education. I am definitely convinced and satisfied with my purchase and I'm sure you will be too!

I got this as a birthday present for one of my preschoolers as it is a highly giftable busy book. He is just turning three and this book has everything he is going to need to learn about the world. There are numerous pages filled with shapes, colors, numbers, and animals to name a few. The pieces stick in place when you put them on and are easy to take off again. You have to pop them all out when you initially get the book. Everything is stored in the book when you have finished you can travel around with it. Its portability makes it the perfect toy to grab and go. The quality is amazing and there is so much to do throughout the book. This is such good value for someone on a school budget, it is a great teaching tool for the classroom too.

Probably one of the best toddler busy books I’ve seen on the market. The pages are high quality, sturdy, and dry erasable. They are spiral bound which is a dream come true for toddlers who haven’t mastered the art of holding pages open. It comes with two dry erase markers and yes, they actually erase with the little eraser on the top of the lid. All pieces already have Velcro circles attached which is a huge time saver, and takes only two minutes to pop out the pieces for use. I stored each page’s pieces in separate snack bags.The zip case for the set is a little flimsy but it has a good quality zipper pull which is probably manageable for an older toddler to open and close. I got this for my 17 month old, so currently only half the pages are doable for her but I know she will grow into the rest and she was already showing curiosity for all the pages.I wish there had been better English proofreading and conceptual oversight when this was being produced, because I think with a few tweaks it could be a perfect product. Small things, for example on the page about emotions, there is a lineup of adjectives like “happy,” “angry,” “shocked,” etc and then there is a verb: “cry.” Cry is not an emotion. I will have to improvise as I teach my child. Also “proud,” “excited,” and “shy” do not seem to match the visuals. I wish more crucial emotions would have been included like “sad” or “scared.” Teaching emotional intelligence to my child is very important to me so I was a bit let down by this page.There were other weak points, like on the shapes page the diamond is merely a rotated square (confusing for a child) and the outline for the star is light yellow and hard to see. The foods page has a lot of unhealthy foods, but my family is vegan and prioritizes healthy eating, so my child has never eaten pizza or the other unhealthy items. The images on the month cards are themed according to holidays, and assumes you are American (stars and stripes for July, Turkey for November, not a problem for me but might be for some) and it includes a witch for Halloween in October, which I really dislike because we do not celebrate Halloween.However I do love this busy book and I believe we will get a lot of good use out of it. Would definitely recommend. One last point: whoever designed the packaging should get a raise. Instead of the annoying round circular pieces of tape that takes forever to pry up, the box is secured with two pieces of easy-lift tape that even has arrows on it to show you how to get it open. Save your manicure (if you have one!)

I love the colorful pictures in this set, and the fact that kids learn by manipulating the pictures. I got this to encourage vocabulary development for a two-year-old, and I am happy to see that a range of categories are included: from animals, to foods, to emotions, to colors, numbers, etc. My granddaughter stayed focused on our activity for over a half hour as we placed animal pictures on the page, repeated their names in Spanish and English, repeated the sounds the animals made, and then completed one of the marker pages. The Velcro is pre-applied, and the set includes extra Velcro tabs should any need to be replaced. My preference would have been to attach the scratchy Velcro to the small pieces and the soft Velcro to the pages the pieces are stuck to. Having the scratchy Velcro on the small pieces would have allowed the small pieces to also be displayed on Velcro-sensitive fabric. However, storage is available in the reusable box as well as a heavy-duty plastic pouch. A second thing I would add to this set is a set of black-and-white numbers and shapes that are not color coded to match the example numbers and shapes in the book. The way the book is now, it is possible for a child to match the numerals and shapes based on the colors in the book, and not based on what the actual numeral or shape looks like. I will be making black-and-white numbers to add to this set.
