Mary Meyer Afrique Soft Book

Safari Adventures in a Soft, Sensory Book

Introduce your baby to their first reading adventures with the Mary Meyer Afrique Soft Book. This delightful fabric book brings the enchanting world of safari animals to life through vibrant illustrations, varied textures, and crinkle sounds that captivate little ones whilst supporting early sensory and cognitive development.

Crafted from soft, baby-safe fabrics with Mary Meyer's renowned attention to quality, this charming book features colourful pages showcasing adorable safari animals from the beloved Afrique collection. Each page offers different tactile experiences – crinkly materials create satisfying sounds, varied fabric textures encourage exploration, and gentle patterns stimulate developing vision.

The soft construction makes this book perfect for babies to grasp, mouth, and explore safely from the earliest months. Unlike traditional board books with hard edges, the fabric pages are gentle on delicate gums during teething, whilst the lightweight design means even young babies can manipulate the book independently, building confidence and motor skills.

Each page introduces friendly safari animals – elephants, lions, giraffes, and more – in Mary Meyer's signature charming style. The high-contrast colours and bold patterns particularly engage newborns whose vision is still developing, whilst older babies enjoy identifying familiar animals and responding to the crinkle sounds created by page manipulation.

The compact size makes this soft book ideal for prams, car seats, changing bags, and travel, ensuring entertainment is always within reach during outings or waiting times. The attached loop allows secure fastening to pram bars or car seat handles, preventing drops whilst keeping baby engaged during journeys.

Machine washable for easy cleaning, the Afrique Soft Book stays fresh and hygienic through inevitable dribbles, spills, and enthusiastic mouthing. The durable construction withstands repeated washing and handling, maintaining its vibrant colours and engaging features through months of daily exploration.

Soft books are brilliant for introducing book-handling skills, page-turning practice, and early literacy concepts that form foundations for future reading love.
