 
Board Book Fun -
Reading is such an important part of
toddler development. Sometimes it is hard to get your
toddler interested in books and reading, so you might
have to incorporate some fun into the event. This
toddler activity will give your toddler a great
opportunity to have fun with books and maybe even read a
page or two! Take some of your board books, and create
shapes on the floor, by opening them up and standing
them up. You can make stars, squares, rectangles, and
even try to build a house. Have your toddler stand in
the middle while you build around him/her. Or build a
square around each foot. Then have your toddler lie down
and build a wall around him. If the opportunity arises,
look at a page in the book and talk about what you see
(animals, colors, shapes, objects). Be creative
and also let your toddlers help to build! You'll be
amazed at what they come up with!
Supplies needed:
- Board books
- Floor space to build with the books
Tips/Suggestions:
- It might help to use board books
that are similar in size, but it is not necessary.
- You can lay a couple of books flat on top of a shape
in order to make a "second" level. Then let your toddler
knock it down!
- You can ask your toddler to find the "cow" book for
you to help make something.
- Or after you make a shape, read each page that you can
see.
