Frequently Asked Questions
Quiet Books are interactive, child-friendly and educational books that offer numerous opportunities for imaginative activity and independent learning.
From simple activities like animal memory, matching colors and shapes, playing with finger puppets to multiplication tables and reading the clock - our Quiet Books promote your child's cognitive, motor and social development depending on their age and interests. They are also known as quiet books, interactive books, busy books, fabric books, activity books, sensory books, motor skills books, or tactile books.
Quiet Books enable the child to practice and learn a variety of skills, for example in the areas of fine motor skills, concentration, hand-eye coordination, understanding order and logical thinking.
They are intuitive and therefore require a minimum of explanation.
The child's creativity and imagination are stimulated by colors and contrasts - without any sound effects, which are often found in conventional toys.
They can be used in a variety of ways, stimulate the imagination and encourage role play. They fit in every handbag, are quickly packed up, stored and easy to carry. They are a savior in every situation - especially if you want your child to occupy themselves quietly and meaningfully. Such situations range from a visit to the doctor to long car rides, flights or just at home.
They make imaginative and special gifts for Christmas or birthdays.
We have divided our books into age groups from six months to six years. Each age level has different categories to tailor the book to your child's individual needs and interests. You can filter by zero to three or three to six years.
Every child is different and has different needs - we recommend that you still consider categories and age groups that at first glance may not be suitable for your child's age. For each of our Quiet Books there is a video on the respective product page, which shows the entire content and the diverse possibilities that the Quiet Book offers. Our age recommendation is also listed under each product.
You can find a complete age overview of all of our Quiet Books here https://www.jolly-designs.com/pages/ubersicht-altersommendation.

However, we would like to emphasize that every child is different and has different needs - we therefore recommend choosing a Quiet Book based on the child's interests.
We use all kinds of materials such as Velcro, buttons, fasteners and beads of various kinds. The material of the books is made of felt and cotton. All have of course been tested and recommended for use with children and toddlers.
The Quiet Books can be washed. You can find the exact instructions for caring for our Quiet Books here: https://quietbooks.com/2021/07/19/tipps-und-tricks-fur-das-nachhafte-erhalten-deines-quiet-books/
We would like to emphasize that our Quiet Books are sustainable. Jolly Designs implements the topic of sustainability throughout the entire production and ordering process:
We use sustainable materials in our Quiet Books because the material used in the book is biodegradable and the metal parts used are recyclable. Therefore, all of our Quiet Books are almost 100% Oeko-Tex certified (with the exception of the string/cord used in Quiet Books). However, we are currently actively working on finding a sustainable alternative for the cord/cord in order to certify the product as 100% Oeko-Tex. This would make Jolly Designs the first manufacturer in the world to produce Oeko-Tex certified Quiet Books.
We also rely on fair cooperation when producing the Quiet Books in our own production facility in India. Therefore, our seamstresses receive vacation, continued pay in the event of illness and maternity leave. You are also entitled to paid leave for religious and community celebrations. We treat them with great respect because a good working atmosphere is a prerequisite for long-term cooperation. Here you can find an insight into our production https://youtu.be/i_CsX8XHWiE . In order to prove the mentioned production and working conditions in production, production is regularly audited with the ETI SEDEX certificate, which checks the working conditions (no child labor, fair pay, health & safety, environment & corporate ethics).
In addition to the product, we also ensure that the shipping of the goods is sustainable, as we completely avoid plastic packaging when delivering from India. Our production only sends the Quiet Books in fabric bags and the end customer also receives them in fabric bags. This means our packaging is environmentally friendly. The end customer also receives delivery via DHL Go Green. This reduces the ecological footprint.
In summary, this means that we implement the topic of sustainability throughout our entire value chain and are constantly working to integrate the topic even more closely.
