There's plenty of themed sticker books to choose from that'll excite your tot or more educational sticker books that'll still provide them with a riveting, stimulating playtime.
We’ve chosen sticker books for children aged at least 3-4 years and up so your little one can enjoy playing safely and with books that are aimed to boost their toddler development.
Are stickers good for toddlers?
Encouraging your toddler to play with stickers is great for their development and depending on the type of sticker book, they can develop a huge range of valuable skills.
Some books focus on learning, helping your little one to improve skills such as reading, counting and problem solving when filling in allocated gaps with stickers.
Other books focus more on creative play so your toddler can create their own fun scenes, outfits or stories using the stickers provided on the book's pages.
No matter the type of sticker book you choose, both will improve their hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills and shape recognition when playing with the stickers, invaluable skills for nursery and later life.
These books will keep them occupied and focused, a quiet sit-down activity makes them a great rainy day activity, or something to keep your little one busy whilst you're sorting life admin or doing chores.
As the books come self-contained with all the stickers, scenery and places to stick, sticker books are also great to carry on-the-go, whether that be to keep them quiet in the car or busy while visiting family and grandparents.
Why do toddlers love stickers?
Every toddler we know absolutely loves to play with stickers, and some even collect sticker books especially where their favourite character is involved. Sticker books provide them with hours of fun and are packed with bright colours, playful stories and endless opportunities for creativity that they love to share with family and friends.
The stickers themselves keep their little hands busy and offer a unique sensory experience with the 'stickiness' being a fascinating element to the creative play. They create no mess which parents can definitely appreciate.
Stickers can spark positivity too as most kids associate stickers with rewards, whether that be for a trip to the dentist or behaving well at nursery. With a whole book packed with stickers to play with, they're guaranteed to have an absolute blast!

How to make your child their own sticker book
If your toddler loves collecting stickers but has nowhere to put them (and to stop them ending up on the furniture) you can easily use scenery print outs for them to colour and add their stickers to, or encourage them to use a colouring book or notebook to use their beloved stickers in.
If they’d like to try making their own sticker book with stickers made and designed by you or them, you can use this tutorial from JuneBeautique. It’ll be a fun bonding exercise where they can explore their creativity and show off their creations.
