Good to know
Questions, answered
What is a busy book?
A busy book, also called a quiet book, is a soft book of hand-stitched felt activity pages. Each page is a little job for small hands: sorting, matching, counting, finding, or moving pieces around. They're quiet, screen-free, and made to be handled.
Can I buy single pages?
Yes. Pages are sold one at a time, so you can build a book around the activities and themes your little one loves, and add new pages as they grow.
Do you take custom orders?
Yes. Tell us about the child, their name, favorite colors and the things they love, and Lisa will plan pages just for them. Custom pages are the regular page price plus $5 to personalize, and most are ready in 1 to 2 weeks. Start on the Custom Orders page.
Where can I see them in person?
Plum & Page has a display at Attic 13, 220 N Main St in Lexington, NC. Pages there change as they sell, and everything online can be ordered any time.
