I have been making busy books for my kids for a few years now. It started when we took all three kids on a long plane trip and travel day when they were just 5, 3, and 2.
I got a little crazy with how Rob and I were going to keep them entertained for such a big day and created busy books for each of them.
The kids adored them.
Over the past three years since that trip, the kids still play with their personal busy books regularly and I have added pages to them, switched them out, and swapped between them as their skills and interests have developed.
Now, the Ultimate Busy Book is finally available!
I cannot tell you how extremely excited I am to bring this busy book to you. This has been a few years coming and I cannot wait for you to enjoy it.

Prep Your Busy Book Printable Pages
Getting your Ultimate Busy Book ready for play will take a little bit of time, and a few additional materials.
You can always have your child help you with the cutting and sticking if they are able. My oldest (8 at the time) was all about assisting me in both desinging and prepping the pages.
Each step in the process is included on the first page of your PDF file, so no need to worry about remembering what to do. The basic steps are:
- Print the activity and manipulative pages.
- Cut out the manipulative pieces.
- Laminate the activity pages and manipulative pieces.
- Stick on your velcro dots.
- Hole punch your pages if you choose to put everything into a binder.
- You are ready to learn and play!
