Sew a soft Montessori book for your baby

under 9 months

Playing with soft Montessori books stimulates the babies fine motor skills and intellectual development.
We offer you to craft the book yourself.
You'll need:


  • pieces of fabrics of different texture (fleece, felt, fur, etc.);
  • threads, needles;
  • ribbons, velcros;
  • buttons, beads;
  • fasteners, etc.

First at all, craft all the book pages. Then sew them together to make the book.
You can sew the pages with lots of small details by hand.
Make the applique of your baby's name on the cover.

Decorate the pages with different cute and funny appliques - butterflies, birds, clouds, smiley faces, houses, trees, etc.
Hide the beads to the clouds under the cloth - you will ask your little one to find the "rain drops" touching and palpating them with fingers.

House windows made of velcros can be opened - you can also place there funny faces or little birds. Ask your baby: "Who is living in the house?" to find them.

Lots of small detailes made of buttons are beneficial for your baby's fine motor skills and mental development. Use buttons and decorations of different colors, size and shape.

Show your little one how to tie a bow with this cute applique.

Make a hole in the pear and settle there a caterpillar!

Crafting the soft book, use lots of velcros, buttons, zip fasteners, laces, etc.

Make photos of the book you've crafted and your baby playing with the book, upload the collage to the App. Allow your little one to explore the pages and help him or her only if it is necessary.
