Curious Columbus Quiet Book Fabric Busy Book for Toddlers 3-5 - Airplane Toddler Travel Toys for Kids - Montessori Toy Preschool Activity Books - Fun and Educational for Toddlers

This is a travel must have. When I pull this book out my son knows we are going on a trip. It’s soft and creative. There are a lot of little pieces to keep him entertained but also easy to lose them as well so be sure to keep up with them. Overall it’s great cause he uses it for imaginative play

My daughter loves this book! It was great for our trip!

Super quality and cute!! Perfect for older toddlers and teaching fine motor skills. Love

These are pricey but very well-made. I bought both this one and “My Busy Day” at the same time, but they come with a 15% off coupon for a future purchase so I wish I had waited to buy the second one.While the recommended age is 3+, I bought this for my 15-month-old, thinking he would grow into it and could at least do the Velcro things for now. He loves these and begs to get them down whenever he notices them, but he is definitely a bit too young. The Velcro is quite strong and the pockets are tight (both good things in a product like this so pieces don’t get lost!) so you tend to need two hands and he just doesn’t have the dexterity for it yet. That said, he loves to try, and he points to things and has me do them for him. He’s already getting better at several of the skills needed, so it’s good fine-motor practice (although I’m honestly surprised he doesn’t get more frustrated by it.) So, it’s not the solo entertainment I had hoped quite yet, but he loves them and I believe will continue to love them. I also have to check the whole book every time I put it away to make sure the pieces made it back to their spots, which is a little cumbersome for now. A note on the pieces and little ones - if you have a little who constantly puts things in his/her mouth, consider waiting. Mine listens well and hasn’t had the urge to put these anywhere near his mouth (probably because the parts that come out are just felt so nothing to gum) but it could certainly be a choking hazard if you’ve got a little gummer. I also have a particularly attentive little, but a more age-appropriate busy book for his age would probably have more to do on each page.We bought these for a flight because every toy we use on long car trips makes noise and we didn’t want to be murdered by our seat mates, and I think they will be great for that... as long as we can keep track of the pieces. We’ve already used them on a three-hour car trip that turned into a seven-hour car trip (thanks, blizzard) and they definitely saved us from meltdown territory. We did temporarily lose a piece that went over the side of the car seat. Since there is Velcro on the back of a lot of pieces, they’ll find creative spots to stick themselves in a car interior. :-|

Overall this is a good quiet book, although more appropriate for slightly older toddlers. When we got this for a long international trip for my son he was 21 months, and couldn't open the tent zip or thread the shoelace, or open the buckles (the buckles to be fair are VERY tiny and even I struggle if I'm a bit tired). He enjoyed the moveable velcro items (and yes we lost a bunch on the plane), but it didn't keep him busy for more than 5 minutes. Now that he's over 2 he can at least do the zip, but still can't do the other stuff. Whoever decided to have a removable part on the front of a toddler book (the plane propeller) gets negative points though! We lost it immediately - probably on the overnight flight over to our destination, but who knows. We realized the plane looked weird at some point and that there was supposed to be a propeller on it. Otherwise this is well-made and durable.

We bought this for our first international trip (18m) and he still likes playing with it (2.5year). It’s perfect airplane toy without screen time and out of all the small toys we brought, he definitely played with this the longest. I would also narrate as we are going through the busy book on what steps we’ll be going through for our upcoming trip (pack bag, drive to airport, going through security, wearing seat belt on the plane, etc). I also used the tent on the last page to store some small cars!

My 2 year old enjoyed it during our recent flight. He enjoyed it for a week before stop playing with it. Still, overall a great toy for the flight for his age.

We took for our flight to keep grandson amused. It worked it the hotel room, the restaurant, the airport.
