With little kids and the lives that we live, we are always on the go. It is always good to find some great items that your child can use when you are on the go as well as when they need to be busy and quiet at the same time. A Wuka is the exact thing I was looking for. Not only is it an activity that they can do quietly, but it is also an activity that is very educational.

About Wuka:

Your Wuka is a silent, educational toy that consists of individual squares held together by a binding called a “link”. Each high quality fabric square is designed to quietly entertain children while teaching essential skills, such as buttoning, matching, and typing. After you choose the squares that match your child’s interests, you then link them together to create their own unique Wuka. A wuka can easily be updated by adding, removing, and exchanging squares as your children grown. No two wukas are the same. The Wuka works to quietly educate your child.
