Baby Book Ideas

It is never too early to start your child looking at books and at this age babies adore bright and bold pictures that are simple but visually stimulating. The best type of  books to go for are those that have ei¬ther no text (for very young babies) or very short text centred around everyday happenings like eat¬ing. bathtime or playing.

• Board or cloth books are ideal as they have colourful pictures and are substantial enough for babies to grasp and chew on. Look out for books about babies as babies love to see what other babies get up to!
• Nursery rhymes are popular too as babies adore rhythm and rhyme. The flow of the words will really help your baby tune up those lan¬guage skills.
• Novelty books like pop ups and lift the flaps will always go down well as the surprise element delights a young reader.
• Books that show you how to play finger games are very useful.
