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.

A fabulous interactive book for young kids to have on a plane and in the car.

Curious Columbus busy books are great many things to do to keep kids quiet and developing skills like colors, fine motor, dexterity even time. My older daughter teaches my younger daughter with thr book and loves to do it. These also hold up well. You just have to make sure those little ones put back all the pieces and zip it up. That is a nice touch so that you don't loose those fun parts.

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

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.

My 4 yr old loved this for a car trip and still plays with it at home as well. Great theme to each page although 1-2 pages weren’t as functional as others. Good quality.

I have purchased this brand before and my book has held up for years! I love that it is machine washable. I gave this one as a gift and the mother and toddler loved it. The pages are so creative and fun for situations where you need a quiet toy to play with. This is my new shower gift for everyone!

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. :-|

Bought for my 2 year old for Christmas and it really occupies him when I'm trying to sort out baby. The attention to detail is superb. All the pieces are beautifully stitched together and the colours are really attractive. I love the story it conveys from the start of the day when you get up, brush your teeth, then get dressed, eat , do chores etc. Would thoroughly recommend and I thought for the excellent quality it was worth the money.

Absolutely love this book and this company. This book has saved us on long car rides and in restaurants so many times.The quality is very nice and well worth the price. We actually like it so much we have both quiet books (“when I grow up” and “my big day”)My daughter initially wasn’t super into it when she was around 2 years old but now she’s 3 and it keeps her occupied for quite a while! She even chooses it over watching Daniel Tiger in the car (we only let her have screen time on long car rides so the fact that she picks this over screen time is amazing!) I can see it lasting a long time and her continuing to be interested in it since she likes it so much and still isn’t able to do some of the activities in it (buttons, lacing) Once she learns those things it will continue to keep her occupied in the future.We actually lost a couple pieces to it and the company was very quick to respond and is sending some parts. What I didn’t know was that they now sell the spare parts for each book on Amazon as well so I don’t have to worry about it in the future.These would be a very unique present for birthdays or holidays too!
