A perfect, non-toy gift for young children this year! This Christmas-themed quiet book includes 10 activity pages (or file folder games) emphasizing hand-eye coordination, speech development, matching, and pretend play that will grow with toddlers.
Unlike many other busy books, this book promotes interactive play as well as independent play because children learn best from parents and caregivers. So parents can get tots started by reading a poem or singing a song and then let their kids play with the variety of interactive pieces on their own.
Here's a summary of each learning activity:
1. Build a Snowman - Boosts hand-eye coordination and size recognition
2. Find It puzzle - Tots look for toys in the picture. The toys are common first words, so adults can encourage children to practice their speech.
3. Cookie Decorating - Shape matching
4. 5 Little Reindeer - Christmas poem with removable reindeer that teaches the five senses, number sequencing, and hand-eye coordination
5. Special Delivery - Color matching
6. Christmas Game - Movement activity
7. Decorate the Tree - Shape and color matching with primary colors
8. Find It puzzle/Gingerbread Twins - Find cookies and learn about opposites.
9. Santa's Flight - Action song and vocabulary building activity
10. Reindeer Games - Hidden object game. Young tots learn about unseen objects (just because it behind the tree doesn't mean it's not there), and older tots can play hide-and-seek with Rudolph and his friends on an interactive pretend play scene.
