Happiness is a butterfly, a boy and a toy – so we combined all the three and made a colorful butterfly mini quiet book for babe and you.
The fluttering butterfly quiet book has everything from a butterfly to bunny in a carrot car, a see-you-in-me mirror ladybug, monkey and its banana, a colorfully colorful spiky hedgehog, teddy who wants to play peek-a-boo , be snapped and buckled and an inviting seashore setting with water maze activity and oyster with a pearl that’s you 🙂
Here’s a more detailed explanation, page wise :
Page 1/ Cover Page :
Three colorful butterflies in varying sizes for
a) size identification – small, medium,big
b) size sorting and stacking
c) button-buttonhole fine motor practice
The butterfly’s varying size is also made all the more beautiful with comforting color variations that add depth and dimension for the child to see, feel and observe.
These butterflies can also be used to lace through using the lace in the Hedgehog page that you will see on Page 5.

The bunny is on an elastic that can be pulled to experience cause and effect. It is a finger puppet as well, so the child can pop it on their fingers for a pretend/free play. The wheels of the carrot car are on a velcro hook and loop that can be detached and reattached.
