...if they can not read. My little boy, who is 11 months old, can not read or speak as yet, but certainly loves story time. He really enjoys being read to as well as being able to partake by turning the pages himself. He also loves sitting on his own simply turning the pages and looking at the pictures, whether the book is the right way round or not. As a result of his love of books I invested in some fabric books for babies and toddlers. They are ...

...on the book "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" which was written by Bill Martin, Jr and the pictures by Eric Carle. This book is very much based on colours and I think it is brilliant in the way that it dedicates each page to just one colour and does rhyme. The Story It starts with a picture of a brown bear taking over the whole two pages, the text says…"Brown Bear, Brown Bear, what do you see?? Then the brown bear says "I see a ...

This is when I remembered purchasing a book that could help with this mammoth task, I have this really bad habit of buying things on the off chance I may actually use them one ...
...two years ago due to the high level of activities in it, there are also things that my kids could make themselves without too much interaction from me, which is always a bonus when there's a pile of ironing that needs to be seen to, which there always is in my house!
