Take a walk through the woodland with our brand new Into the Woods Busy Book. A handmade, 6-page activity book packed with sensory play, fine motor challenges, and imaginative learning for toddlers aged 1–5.
Made by hand in our home on the Wild Atlantic Way using soft felt, tactile fabrics and autumnal woodland prints, each page tells part of a forest story while quietly building essential early childhood skills. From a fluffy owl who opens his wings to a frog who catches flies with a magnetic tongue - every page is designed to delight and engage little minds.
Inside the book:
🦉 Hello Owl (Texture & Play)
Meet the owl! Toddlers can lift and move his soft felt wings, push his big button eyes around under the mesh, and run their fingers across his wonderfully fluffy felt tummy. A gorgeous sensory page for little hands.
🐸 Frog & the Flies (Magnetic Tongue)
A cheeky frog is hungry! Toddlers use a string to move the frog's felt tongue - magnetic tips mean the flies snap right in. Pull the tongue, catch the fly, feed the frog! Brilliant for hand-eye coordination and concentration.
🐭 Woodland Feast (Matching)
Time to feed the woodland animals! Match the mouse, the bee, the frog and the rabbit to their favourite foods. A simple, satisfying activity that introduces early matching and reasoning skills.
🐞 Ladybird Counting (Zip & Match)
Mammy Ladybird has six tiny babies hiding inside her zipper. Toddlers open the zip to find them, then match each baby to the leaf with the right number of spots (1–6). A wonderful introduction to counting and number recognition.
🐦 Bird Houses (Colour Matching)
Five little birds need to find their home! Match each bird to its colour and slot it into the top of the right treehouse. The roofs are open so the birds can drop right in - simple, satisfying, and perfect for learning colours.
