From 3 months: The perfect start for babies

Babies can benefit from a quiet book as early as 3 months. Here are some reasons why a quiet book is useful even at this young age:

Stimulate sensory perception : A quiet book designed specifically for babies, like our Mini Quiet Book from Habi Kids, offers different textures and colors that stimulate sensory perception. This helps babies sharpen their senses and better understand the world around them.

From 3 years: language development and imagination

From the age of 3, children begin to develop their language skills and tell stories. A quiet book can be particularly helpful during this phase:

Language development : By playing with a Quiet Book that contains interactive stories and scenarios, children can improve their language skills. They learn new words, sentence structures and can create their own stories.
