A soft baby activity book is often your baby's very first book. It crinkles, rattles and feels different everywhere, so your little one discovers through play. At Tiny Giggles you will find cloth books, touch-and-feel books and sensory books by Babyono, Skip Hop, Franck & Fischer, Lässig and Bright Starts. Most are suitable from birth and soft enough to chew on.
A baby activity book is made of fabric or another soft material instead of cardboard. Every page has something to discover: crinkly fabric, a rattle, a mirror, a flap to lift or different textures to feel. Often there is a teether attached too. That makes the book a toy and a book at the same time. Your baby cannot tear it, and you can simply clean it when it gets dirty.
The Babyono sensory books are small touch-and-feel books that are easy to take along. Go To The Ocean (about 12 x 20 cm) and My Life (about 12 x 12 cm) both have a teether and are suitable from birth. Vincent the Fox is a red sensory book featuring Vincent the fox, about 16 x 16 cm.
The Skip Hop Farmstand Soft Activity Book is full of colourful illustrations of vegetables and farm animals, with numbers to count together. It has crinkle fabric, a mirror and a hole for peekaboo. The carrot on the book is a teether, and you can attach the book to the pram or baby carrier. It is part of the Skip Hop Farmstand collection.
The Happy Elephant and Happy Swan cloth books by Franck & Fischer are made of 100% certified organic cotton with eco-friendly dyes. The filling is recycled polyester. They are CE-tested, suitable from birth and machine washable at 40 °C.
The Lässig Tiny Farmer Activity Book is a handy book of about 14 x 14 cm, made of organic cotton. In the Tiny Farmer theme and just the right size for little hands.
The Bright Starts Twiddle Tweets Soft Activity Book is suitable from 0 months and has crinkly pages, rattling beads and a teether. So there is something to discover on every page.
In the first months your baby mainly looks at contrasts and bright colours. Hold the book about 20 to 30 cm away and let your baby look. A cloth book is also nice during tummy time, as something to look at.
From around three months your baby starts grasping. The book gets grabbed, squeezed and put in the mouth. Crinkly fabric and a teether are favourites then.
Around six months your baby discovers flaps, the mirror and the peekaboo hole. You can turn the pages together and name what you see.
Around one year your child starts pointing at things. Count the vegetables in the Farmstand book together or look for the animals. That way the book becomes a first picture book.
A soft book is ideal for the changing bag. It is light, cannot break and makes no loud noises. You attach the Skip Hop book to the pram or carrier, so it does not fall on the ground. Also take a look at our stroller toys for more toys to take along.
An activity book often goes in the mouth, so clean it regularly. The Franck & Fischer books can be machine washed at 40 °C, but not tumble dried. Wash the Lässig book by hand and do not iron it. For the other books, check the label for the best way to clean them. Always let a book dry well before your baby plays with it again.
Check the book regularly for loose seams, flaps or parts. If something is broken, take it away. An activity book is a toy for when your baby is awake: do not put it in the cot or crib while your baby sleeps.
An activity book goes nicely with a play mat, a teether or teething toy, or a soft cuddly toy or comforter. You will find more ideas under toys and play.
A soft book is an original baby gift that your baby will use for a long time, from the first weeks to the first picture book. Combine it with a cuddly toy or teether for a complete gift. Also take a look at our gifts up to 25 euros and have your gift wrapped with our gift-wrapping service.
Most of our activity books are suitable from birth; to be sure, check the product page. At first your baby mainly looks, later they start grasping, feeling and turning the pages.
A sensory or touch-and-feel book is mainly about different fabrics to feel. An activity book often also has crinkly fabric, a mirror, flaps or a teether. In practice, the two often overlap.
That depends on the book. The Franck & Fischer books can be washed at 40 °C, the Lässig book is washed by hand. Always check the label.
