Why sticker books are an important tool for learning.

Sticker books tap into the interest area of a child. When a parent supports a child’s interest, it promotes independence and autonomy leading to healthy social-emotional development.


The Sticker Dolly books also promote cognitive development through matching and association, creative reasoning and self-identification. They encourage your child to recall what they already know and strengthen the learning pathways. There is also an element of creative thinking or story-telling. Encourage your child’s imagination by asking questions about the dolls’ identities, likes, dislikes, favorite food, etc.


Sticker books helps develop the fine motor skills to prepare and support the ability to write words, and draw. The Usborne Sticker books also help with the development of eye-hand coordination which promotes the ability to use manipulative in learning, art skills, and gross motor activities like sports, climbing and jumping, as well as spatial awareness.


The theory is that when all of these development realms are tapped into regularly, children will have more success in school and, some say most importantly, higher level problems solving and reasoning skills.


Usborne books tap into these on a regular basis. We have nearly 100 different sticker books for all ages and interests ranging from pre-school ABC to Internet Linked World History Sticker Atlas, foreign language to great works of art, animals, and dollies galore.
