A mother on what she learned from every birthday with a pile of gifts. And why she gives this now.
At birthdays you see it again and again. A child from 1 to 4 takes something out, presses a button, looks for a moment and walks away.
That's why I wanted to give something that a child can really be busy with and that doesn't end up in the corner after a week. That's how I ended up with the personalized activity book from Mauzek. These are the six reasons why it is such a special gift.
Many toys and screens provide all the stimuli themselves. A child mainly has to look or listen, which sometimes makes their attention quickly go somewhere else.
With this book, the hands themselves get to work. Opening a zipper, putting a button through the hole or threading a shoelace through the loop. This challenges a toddler or preschooler to discover for themselves and stay busy.
Restaurant, car, airplane or waiting room. The book easily fits in a bag and gives a child something fun to do independently everywhere.
The parts are attached to the book. This way, loose parts don't get lost easily and everything stays neatly together.
Zippers, buttons, shoelaces, colors and shapes. With the different activities, young children practice their fine motor skills and concentration through play.
For kids, that naturally doesn't feel like learning at all. They just want to discover how that zipper, button or shoelace works. Playing and developing come together so naturally.
Many toys are fun to give, but ultimately still feel like just toys.
An activity book with a little one's name on the front immediately feels different. It is made especially for them and therefore much more personal to give as a gift. And when they eventually outgrow it, it remains a special keepsake of their early childhood years.
A 1-year-old child discovers how a zipper moves. A toddler tries to close it themselves more and more often. Later, activities such as threading and shoelaces also become increasingly interesting.
The same pages offer something new to discover again and again at different ages. While some gifts are quickly outgrown, this book can remain interesting for years.
Soft felt, CE-certified, no batteries and no loud noises. A gift that a child can discover with and that parents will also be happy about themselves.
This is also reflected in the experiences of other customers: Mauzek is rated 4.8 on Trustpilot. Moreover, €0.50 from every order goes to Make-A-Wish Netherlands.
Finally calm at the table
Being calm at the table in the restaurant without a tablet, that had never worked for us before. The activity book really keeps her busy.
No tablet needed anymore
I always gave her my phone in the car and felt bad about it. Now she takes the book and plays by herself, without a screen. Problem solved.
Beautiful gift for her first birthday
Personalised with her name, ordered for her first birthday. Really feels like something to keep, not just a toy that will be forgotten in a month.
Exactly what we were looking for
Nice that all the little parts are attached. No loose pieces that get lost or that she can chew on, so I don't have to keep an eye on it.
Noticeable effect on concentration
Already saw a difference after a few weeks in how long she can concentrate. Zippers, buttons, shoelaces, exactly what she is busy with at this age.
Saved us on the airplane
3-hour flight with a 2-year-old, I was terrified beforehand. The book saved us. She stayed happily busy and didn't need a screen.
Fast delivery, top service
Personalisation was ready within a few days and then delivered quickly. A question about the placement of the name was also immediately resolved.
Choose the theme, enter the child's name and we make the book special for him or her.
