Stickers inside are a good touch too. I'd say age 2 is a little young for some of the activities nearer to thr back. Tip: use pencil so you can rub out and reuse with your child. Review: Really really nice book for 2 year olds. - My son (age 2.75) absolutely loved this book...he's got through the whole thing in about a week! I've ordered some of the 3+ ones as a follow up. There's a whole series but this one seems to focus particularly on drawing lines and colouring. My son had barely used pens/crayons before and his confidence has come on loads in the past week. Would rate it more highly that the Kumon beginning cutting/pasting books actually. There's a lot of variety, it's clearly really thought through for the age, there's a sticker for each completed activity. He will sit and play with it by himself if i am not available to help him.

Ideal for toddlers!
I bought it to use it as an homemade wipe and clean book. It worked perfectly, my 3 years old boy loved it and wants to use it every day. The book has more than 60 pages full of lines, tracks to follow, mazes, numbers, things to colour. I definitely recommend it. I hope this was helpful 👍. L'ho comprato per il mio bimbo di 3 anni da usare come libro "scrivi e cancella" fatto in casa. Lui lo ha apprezzato moltissimo e lo vuole usare ogni giorno. Ne comprerò sicuramente altri, più di 60 pagine piene di pregrafismi, labirinti, numeri, cosa da colorare, ad un prezzo accettabiissimo. Spero di esservi stata utile 👍.

The best!
My daughter absolutely loves this series. My niece is half Japanese, and we have a few Japanese sticker learning books that my sister gave us (potty training and math related but the same system with reward stickers on the top of the page) She is very motivated and eager to do these booklets. She doesn’t always want to just go page to page, so I might need to sticky note ones she hasn’t completed. She wants to work on tracing, or just stickers, mazes so she will want to skip to whatever skill she wants to continue on. My daughter is 3.5 but has been working on skills in various age brackets. I find that these do have her circle back to some more age appropriate developmentally skill practice. My daughter can write words, but tracing, line practice is important to improve that leap skill she galloped wobbly ahead to. She is not in preschool offically, so I am doing some school activities at home till she’s fully potty trained and allowed to attend. These books are part of her lessons time. I really enjoy that they say the various activities on the cover as some have cross over but others require having other skill tools available. She very much so enjoys the stickers, and she really likes the illustration style, as do I. The stickers are very high quality, I wish that these books were the coated paper her other Japanese booklets are for the sticker reuse, and dry erase effect to return to skills. In I believe this book there was one dual page activity with a dog and a trolly to cut out, she loved that page so much I had to laminate it and the cut out triangles. She also kept a few other cut out activities and has used those in her busy book. We have used this book waiting for food out to eat, and it kept her focused, happy and calm while learning through fun!
