Preschool Busy Book, 12-Theme Learning Activity Binder

The quiet does not last long at that age. This buys you a stretch of it, and you get to keep your coffee hot.

It is a spiral-bound book of thick pages, and on every page there is something to peel off and put back. Colors, letters, numbers, shapes, dinosaurs, traffic, weather, faces, farm animals, planets: twelve themes, each one a small sorting job a three-year-old can finish on their own and then start over.

The cards hold on velcro, so they go back where they came from instead of under the sofa. Eight markers come in the box for the pages you write on, and they wipe off again.

It closes flat, it lives in the carry bag, and it goes in the car without anyone charging anything.
