Frequently Asked Questions

You get to choose which activities you want in your book. The pages are priced individually so you can build a book for your little one. You can also add an optional custom cover with the child's name on the front. The pages will be connected with binder rings and shipped to you. Bambino Busy Books are made of felt sheets, cotton, or flannel. Each page is sewn together and made from scratch by me, Sarah, in Canada, Ontario. Other materials used may include buttons, zippers, velcro, hot glue, thread, etc.  Each page measures 20cm x 20cm, or 8"x8"

If needed, you can wash the books by hand or in the washing machine on delicate cycle with cold water. The pages can be removed individually to wash them as needed. To wash, use a cloth, warm water and soap, wipe down the page and the pieces. Rinse the soap off with warm water as needed and leave flat to air dry. 

Bambino Busy Books pages are designed for children of any age, depending on the activity page. Some pages are pure fabric sensory pages for babies, some are for pre-school and kindergarten, and some are for older kids. It really depends on the stage your child is at and is up to your discretion for which pages your child would like most. Please be advised that some pages do contain small pieces. If you are purchasing some of these pages for a baby, they may be a choking hazard depending on the page. Please supervise small children under the age of three while playing with the books.

Activities may vary slightly in the fabric design or color for the background. If I have run out of the fabric background that is shown in photos on this site, I may choose a different background with a similar look and theme. However, all of the pieces for the activity will be the same.

Absolutely! Bambino Busy Books grow with a child! Many people purchase busy books for baby showers, and then parents are free to order more pages as the baby grows and develops new skills and abilities. 

This depends on how many pages you order. Pages are made once I receive your order. Once you place your order, you will receive a confirmation e-mail. Most of the time I am able to ship your order within a week and will send you an e-mail with a tracking number once I have shipped your book. Shipping time normally takes approximately 10 business days within Canada.

If you know the name of the child/baby who the book is for, please indicate in the "special instructions" text box at checkout.
