Two screen-free felt books with different stories and activities
The Montessori Felt Busy Book – Puppy or Dinosaur is sold in two distinct designs. Puppy focuses on pet care, feeding, bathing, tooth brushing, finger puppets, numbers and hide-and-seek. Dinosaur uses prehistoric scenes, zips, buttons, puzzles, matching, lacing and movable dinosaur pieces.
Both books are battery-free and designed for quiet, hands-on use at home or during supervised travel. Choose by the page activities, size and theme rather than treating Puppy and Dinosaur as colour choices.
Choose Puppy or Dinosaur
| Option | Format and activities | Buyer guidance |
|---|---|---|
| Puppy | Ten-page dog-themed book; pet care, peek-a-boo, finger puppets, feeding, bathing, touching, numbers, shapes, animals and story pieces | Choose Puppy for practical pet-care stories, a broader loose-piece collection and a compact square format. |

Puppy Busy Book activities
Peek-a-boo
Lift the puppy’s soft cover panels to reveal and hide its face.
Finger puppets
Use the pictured characters for short parent-child stories and role play.
Tooth brushing
Move the toothbrush around the hippo’s mouth as a pretend hygiene routine.
Feeding
Offer the pictured food piece to the hippo and return it after play.
Bathing and pet care
Move care pieces around the puppy, then discuss drying, grooming and looking after animals.
Touch and match
Compare animal patterns, shapes, numbers and felt textures without expecting every loose piece to have one universal position.
Dinosaur Busy Book activities
Dinosaur life cycle
Use birth, volcano and extinction-style scenes as prompts for age-appropriate dinosaur stories.
Buttons and fastening
Open, close, attach and release the pictured button, buckle and fastening controls.
Zips and lacing
Move the zip and practise pulling a lace through the shoe-style activity.
Puzzles and matching
Fit movable dinosaurs and scene pieces into their pictured spaces without forcing attachments.
Sliding and pull-out play
Move sliding, pull-out and stuff-in components through their intended range.
Textured exploration
Compare felt surfaces, dinosaur silhouettes and illustrated habitats through supervised touch.
How to introduce either busy book
- Confirm the selected design. Check the Puppy or Dinosaur cover, dimensions and internal activity pages.
- Inspect all components. Check stitching, zips, buttons, laces, hook-and-loop areas, puppets and movable pieces.
- Begin with one spread. Leave unrelated loose pieces attached so the first activity remains manageable.
- Demonstrate once. Show one lift, pull, zip or match and let the child repeat the movement.
- Add simple conversation. Name the animal, action, colour, shape or story event visible on the page.
- Help before frustration builds. Some fasteners require more coordination than others; the book is practice rather than a test.
- Count and reconnect. Return every puppet, animal, food piece, number and dinosaur before closing the book.
Quiet travel play
Pack the correct design
Puppy is approximately 20 cm square. Dinosaur is larger at approximately 23.5 × 20 cm.
Use a stable lap or tray
Support the book while pages are turned and keep detached pieces inside the supervised play area.
Keep clear of restraints
Do not let books, laces, puppets or loose pieces interfere with car-seat or aircraft restraints.
Count before leaving
Reconnect all pieces before leaving a vehicle, campsite, beach, waiting room or accommodation.
Managing movable felt pieces
- Keep unused pieces attached to their page rather than making one large loose pile.
- Count the pieces before and after home, classroom or travel use.
- Keep all detachable elements away from children under three and children who mouth toys.
- Remove any piece with torn felt, loose stitching, exposed filling or a damaged attachment.
- Do not add replacement cords, magnets, clips, buttons or homemade pieces.
- Close the zip or fastening around the book where provided before storage.

Care and storage
- Follow the care label supplied with the selected book; machine washing is not confirmed.
- Remove surface dust and spot-clean only when permitted by the delivered instructions.
- Do not soak layered felt, stitched pages, hook-and-loop pieces or internal stiffening.
- Dry the book completely while open before closing or storing it.
- Keep hook-and-loop areas clear of lint, hair and loose thread.
- Store Puppy and Dinosaur pieces with their matching book and page.
Safety guidance
Recommended age: 3–6 years. Follow the delivered age and warning label and supervise use of all detachable pieces.
Inspect stitching, felt layers, zips, buttons, laces, puppets, food pieces, numbers, animals and dinosaurs before each play session.
Stop use if felt tears, stitching opens, filling is exposed, a fastener loosens or a cord frays. Keep all loose parts away from younger siblings and children who mouth toys.
Do not place the busy book, puppets, laces or detachable pieces in a cot, bassinet or sleep space.
The activities provide opportunities to practise matching, fastening and storytelling. They do not guarantee fine-motor, cognitive or independent-learning outcomes.
Frequently asked questions
What age are the busy books for?
The formal specification recommends ages 3–6. This page uses that range because the books contain many detachable felt pieces.
What is the difference between Puppy and Dinosaur?
Puppy is a ten-page pet-care and storytelling book. Dinosaur is an eight-page prehistoric activity book with fasteners, puzzles and dinosaur scenes.
Is “Dinasour” a different design?
No. “Dinasour” is a misspelling in the current option selector and refers to the Dinosaur Busy Book.
Do both books have the same dimensions?
No. Puppy is approximately 20 × 20 × 7 cm. Dinosaur is approximately 23.5 × 20 cm, with conflicting 4 cm and 6 cm depth information.
Are the pieces permanently attached?
No. The books visibly include detachable and movable felt elements. Keep every loose piece within the supervised play area.
Does either book use batteries?
No. Both are manual felt activity books with no electronic lights, music or charging.
Can the books be used during travel?
Yes, under supervision. Use a stable lap or tray, keep pieces clear of restraints and count them before leaving.
Does the Puppy option include ten pages?
Ten pages are stated for Puppy. Do not apply that page count to Dinosaur, which is pictured as an eight-page book.
What activities are in Dinosaur?
Dinosaur includes prehistoric story scenes, buttons, zips, lacing, buckles, puzzles, sliding and matching activities.
Can the books be machine washed?
A machine-wash method is not confirmed. Follow the delivered care label and avoid soaking the layered felt construction.
Are the pieces choking-hazard-free?
No such guarantee should be made. The books contain detachable pieces, so supervision and keeping them away from children under three are essential.
Choose pet-care stories or dinosaur adventures
Compare the Puppy and Dinosaur page themes, sizes, page counts and movable pieces before ordering, then introduce one quiet activity spread at a time.
