One frigid day this winter, I was looking for yet another indoor activity to do with the kids. They love playing with playdough, so making homemade playdough seemed like fun.
To say I love books would be an understatement. I live by the rule “Never say ‘no’ to a new book”. This has led to quite the collection in our home library! I’ve written a couple of posts sharing our Christmas book tradition (find them here and here) and will probably share more of those soon, but I realized I haven’t shared what’s on our bookshelves the rest of the year. To keep things simple, I’ll just start with our books for toddlers & babies.
Most of these are books that we own and love, but some are on our list to add to our shelves.
Disney’s It’s a Small World: Furry Friends
A fuzzy touch and feel tour of countries around the world.
J is for Jazz: a Roaring Twenties Alphabet
The illustrations in this one are adorable!
We don’t have the next 3, yet, but they’re on our list.
Little Miss Austen: Pride & Prejudice
Pride & Prejudice is one of my favorite books, so I had to get this one for Lucy. It’s a counting book from BabyLit with characters and elements from the original story.
Would love to add these next 3 to our collection soon:
Little Miss Austen: Sense & Sensibility
Another one from Disney’s It’s a Small World, “Hello, World!” teaches little ones how to say “hello” in several languages.
Lucy loved this one to pieces. Literally. One of her favorites.
Our whole family LOVES the Bruce books! We own all of the books in the series for older kids, (definitely sharing those in a later post). Peek-a-Bruce is such a cute one for toddlers.
Probably adding this one to Lucy’s Christmas list.
Spring in the Forest is the first one we’ve owned in the series, but I’m making it a point to gather the rest of it. The illustrations are beautiful and the flaps are fun for Lucy to open.
I’m a Ballerina
We actually purchased this book solely based on the illustrator, Joey Chou. He is a favorite artist of my husband’s so anytime we find a book he’s illustrated, we get it!
Another Joey Chou illustrated book we love.
What are your favorite books for toddlers & babies? I’d love to hear your recommendations in the comments. I’m always looking for another good book!
