Touch & Feel Books

The awakening of toddlers begins above all with sensory exploration, and the book is one of the first objects of discovery for babies. Our collection of touch and feel books at Wlidaty is specially designed to stimulate curiosity, fine motor skills, and cognitive development in children in Morocco. Even before learning to read, babies learn through their fingers: stroking a soft texture, scratching a rough surface, or lifting a felt flap are all experiences that build their intelligence and vocabulary.

This selection covers all early childhood ages, from newborns to young readers in training. We offer robust and safe books that can withstand little hands (and sometimes little teeth!). Whether for a quiet moment before sleep, to keep the baby occupied during a trip, or to introduce them to first educational notions like the alphabet or colors, these interactive books transform reading into an exciting game. It's the ideal birth or birthday gift, combining the useful with the enjoyable for adapted budgets in dirhams (MAD).

The different types of sensory books available:

• Cloth and soft books (Doudous) : Perfect from birth, they are soft, washable, and often include crinkly paper sounds, teething rings, and mirrors.
• Cardboard touch and feel picture books : Sturdy books where each page features a different material (faux fur, silicone, corrugated cardboard) associated with a word (animals, vehicles, nature).
• "Peek-a-Boo" books with flaps : Interactive books where the child must lift felt or cardboard pieces to discover who is hiding behind, stimulating object permanence.
• Montessori box sets and books : Educational materials based on rough letters or textured numbers to prepare the child for writing through action and touch.
• Sound and scented books : Some models combine touch with sound chips or scented patches (fruits, flowers) for a complete multi-sensory experience.

Tips for supporting your child's development:

• For babies under 6 months, favor highly contrasting (black and white) or very colorful cloth books that they can safely handle without risk of injury.
• Let your child explore at their own pace: guide their hand towards the material to touch and clearly name the object or animal to associate the sensation with the word.
• Regularly clean cloth books (often machine washable) and wipe cardboard books with a damp cloth, as toddlers also explore with their mouths.
• Establish a tactile reading routine in the evening: the soothing aspect of certain textures (like soft fur) can help calm the child before sleep.

Frequently Asked Questions about touch and feel books:

At what age can you offer a first touch and feel book?

From birth! Soft cloth books are suitable for newborns. Cardboard books with embedded materials are generally recommended starting from 6 months, when the baby begins to better grasp objects and sit up.

Are the materials sturdy and safe?

Yes, all books selected by Wlidaty comply with strict safety standards for early childhood. The materials are securely fixed to withstand the handling of curious babies.

What is the difference between a classic picture book and a touch and feel book?

A classic picture book only engages sight. The touch and feel book adds the tactile (kinesthetic) dimension, which greatly aids memorization: the child remembers "the chick" better if they could touch its yellow down.

How should these books be cleaned if they get stained?

Cloth books are often machine washable (check the label). For cardboard books, a clean, slightly damp cloth and a little mild soap are sufficient. Avoid immersing them in water.

Do you offer books based on the Montessori method?

Absolutely. Our collection includes box sets and books utilizing Montessori principles, notably rough letters and numbers that allow the child to "feel" the shape before writing it.
