Create a playful, interactive Wheels on the Bus DIY Felt Book for someone special!
Shaped like a bright yellow school bus, this hands-on book brings a favourite children’s song to life through movement, music and imaginative play. Each page represents a familiar verse and gives little hands something to touch, move or discover.
Children can turn the wheels, open and close the doors, move the wipers, beep the horn, and explore the bus motor. They can help the passengers move up and down, comfort the crying baby, make the signal lights blink, join in with “Shh, shh, shh,” and finish the journey with a loving “I love you.”

You'll need a few household crafting tools are required, including scissors, straight pins or sewing clips, a hot glue gun and glue sticks, and an iron with a heat-safe ironing surface.
Once completed, the book invites children to sing, move and play along with each verse. These interactive experiences offer opportunities to explore cause and effect, movement, sounds, rhythm, repetition and familiar words while practising fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, early communication, memory and imagination.
The repeated verses and recognizable actions make it easy for children and their grown-ups to participate together. Sing the song, act out the movements, talk about what happens on each page and create your own bus adventures.
Once assembled, the completed book is recommended for preschoolers through kindergarten. Infants and toddlers should enjoy the book with adult supervision.
