Quiet Books , as the name suggests, were originally developed as fabric books to give children the opportunity to occupy themselves quietly for a while.
In this day and age, Quiet Books offer children a welcome break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The books do not require any batteries, loud noises or complex technology. Most often made of cotton and felt, a Quiet Book features a range of activities on each page that are tailored to the child's age and abilities, while promoting sensory experience, cognitive development and fine motor skills. Quiet books are recommended for children between the ages of 6 months and 6 years, or longer if they have special needs.
For babies, the focus is on high-contrast images and on feeling and touching different materials and objects. All senses are stimulated and fine motor skills are trained in the game. Activities for two- to four-year-olds range from sorting colors and shapes, tying cords and strings, unbuttoning and buttoning, finger exercises with zippers and other fasteners, and puzzles. As you get older, tasks become more complex. For preschool children, the focus is on initial reading and writing exercises, learning the clock and basic arithmetic, daily routines and small board games.
1. The benefits of Quiet Books are many. The variety of activities and exercises included help your child improve their fine motor skills and everyday situations such as dressing (tying shoelaces, opening and closing zippers, buttons and buckles), eating (using cutlery, opening and closing the sandwich bag/lunch box). ) or to master your own hygiene (combing, drying, applying cream, brushing your teeth).
2. Quiet Books are intuitive. The activities in our books are easy to understand and require little, if any, parental supervision. The child can complete age-appropriate tasks independently and in this way learns to trust himself and his abilities, which helps to strengthen self-esteem.
3. Quiet books are usually designed so that only 1-2 activities are offered on each page. This prevents overwhelm and allows the child to concentrate on an activity until they have mastered it confidently. In this way, attention and concentration are improved.
4. Quiet Books offer a wide range of opportunities for language acquisition. They help the child create stories around characters and objects, build their vocabulary and expand their imagination. In our Quiet Books, the templates are deliberately kept simple to encourage people to tell the story: A girl is riding her bike and falls. What's next? Do you need to see a doctor? Is the bike broken? By allowing the child to develop different storylines and immerse themselves in role-playing games, their empathy is promoted in addition to language development
5. Quiet Books help you learn everyday routines in a playful way. The child finds it easier to integrate recurring actions into the daily routine, for example putting on his nightgown before going to bed, brushing his teeth after every meal, putting clothes back in the closet, putting dirty laundry in the laundry basket or putting cutlery use.
6. Quiet Books are designed so that the child actively participates in the game. Unlike many other toys where the child is simply a spectator and the activity is carried out by the toy itself (which is often the case with battery-operated products), Quiet Books require participation and action. The playful activity promotes concentration, focus and creativity.
7. The books are light and compact and can be easily transported from one place to another without taking up much space. They are ideal for car journeys, on long flights or train journeys, in the waiting room at the pediatrician or for rainy afternoons at home on the sofa. Our Quiet Books fit in any handbag or diaper bag and are delivered in a cotton bag to protect them from dirt.
8th. Unlike books with paper pages, overzealous children's hands don't bother Quiet Books. They are made from high quality and durable materials and can withstand intense play. If they do get dirty, they can simply be washed. In our blog post “ Tips and tricks for caring for your Quiet Book ” we have put together detailed instructions on how you can easily clean our fabric books.
9. Our Quiet Books are made with a lot of care and attention to detail. We are convinced that in this way children learn appreciation and respect for something unique, beautiful and handmade through play.
10. Sustainability is important to us. Although Quiet Books Although they certainly have their price , they are a useful educational toy that offers your child hours of playtime.
