As many of you know, I recently started the adventure of having 2 under 2 in my house, as well as a beginning first grader. The house is always a bit chaotic right now, and Baby Girl's newest hobby is taking every kid book off the shelf and looking through each. I've had to set apart some of the oldest and most fragile books, as she tends to be a bit rough with them at times.
I am excited to share about a set of books that may actually survive my crazy toddler and new baby! These social study baby/toddler books are called Indestructibles that are made out of material that can be chewed on without tearing, and can be wiped off if there are any spills. These books were given to me in exchange for my review, but I am giving my honest opinion of these wonderful books!
These books are not only indestructible, but come in bright, vibrant colors in 3 fun themes. I can see this fitting perfectly in our Tot School activities, that will help with building Baby Girl's vocabulary. The words are also simple enough that Little Man can read them to his baby sister. Actually, I've seen him pick them up as much as Baby Girl. I think it's the fun, bright colors that cause him to enjoy looking as well as the simplicity of the words.
I thought it would be fun to give a few activity ideas to correspond with each book, to help inspire even more fun together!
Hello Farm!
Ooblek mud (which can be turned into a wash sensory play afterwards!), A 'fill the silo' sensory play (this post has several ideas)
My Neighborhood (community helpers)
occupations dress up play, fire truck and fire craft
Busy City
Use blocks/Lego's to build 'skyscrapers', I love these 'invitation to create' posts (this one is about a city)! I keep random construction paper shapes around for just such crafts!
If you want more ideas, check out my Tot School Activity post!
Here are some Amazon recommendations for other activities you can do (links are affiliated)
When these books came in the mail, Baby Girl immediately wanted to snuggle up and look through each one of the colorful books. She has also already decided to test the 'indestructible' part, and so far, they've stood up to her little toddler self! Timberdoodle has added these books to their complete tot school curriculum, which I think is a perfect addition. They are great vocabulary building, sturdy books. I highly recommend them! I haven't found a single 'con' to add. The Indestructibles book set would make perfect gifts, or as stated before, an addition to early learning.
