Books We Shared<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We\u00a0read the book I Am a Baby<\/a> by\u00a0Kathryn Madeline Allen.\u00a0 \u00a0In it we see real photographs of beautiful babies as they introduce us to their world.\u00a0 There are diapers and clothes, bibs and cribs, toys and more!\u00a0 Infants and toddlers\u00a0love looking at baby faces and this book truly resonated!\u00a0 This book is also a great way to introduce the realistic elements of nonfiction to your baby.<\/p>\n

The Baby Goes Beep<\/span><\/a> by Rebecca O’Connell is a fun, interactive book that follows a very noisy baby throughout the day.\u00a0 The baby goes “beep” (“beep, beep, beep”), the baby goes “boom” (“boom, boom, boom”)…the baby goes “splash”…”flip”…”la”…\u00a0 The toddlers, parents and I\u00a0made the noises and movements as a group.\u00a0 A book like this gives children an opportunity to play, learn and develop language simultaneously.\u00a0 It is deceptively simply and encourages more engagement in the story.\u00a0 Thankfully, the noisy bits ended with “shhhh…” as the baby falls asleep.<\/p>\n

Flannel Boards We Shared<\/h4>\n

Poor Little Baby<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Poor little baby, are you still sad?
\nLet’s lift the green blanket and see if you’re glad!<\/div>\n
(Pull off the green square and ask the kids if the baby looks happy.)<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Poor little baby, are you still sad?<\/div>\n
Let’s lift the yellow blanket and see if you’re glad!<\/div>\n
