Today is National Cat Day 😺

So for all you cat lovers I'm offering 20% off any book that has cat in the title!

Here are a few ideas but plenty more on my online catalogue.

07/08/2020

👦🏼 24-36 months 👧🏾
Extend stories through play!
📖 Your child may be ready for books with regular pages and those that have an engaging plot (extra points for humor, rhymes, and great illustrations)
📖 Using a number of different approaches will be more effective than just reading a story.
📖 Different approaches to develop early reading include storytelling, activities to develop letter and sound knowledge, and singing and rhyming activities to develop phonological awareness.
There are some example of how you can do this below! 🥰

07/08/2020

🧒 18-24 months 👧
🧠 Between 18 and 24 months, your toddler’s brain is developing nerve connections and pathways that are affected by all the things they try and learn, and their experiences of life. 🧠 They copy you and other people and repeat things they hear.
👧 Your toddler will probably start being able to:
find hidden things
sort shapes and colours
complete familiar rhymes and parts of songs
name items in books
🧑🏾 If you encourage and praise attempts at new and existing activities, your toddler will gain the confidence to try new things, develop new skills and extend the ones they have.
👦🏼 You can help your child become confident and independent by remaining nearby as they explore their surroundings.
🧑🏿 Talking to toddlers and reading aloud encourages them to try using words to communicate.
👉 Don’t worry if your toddler runs away when you read—kids this age just really need to move. If you keep reading, he’ll keep listening, and he may come back to reconnect and hear more. Look for ways to connect that energy to the story, such as asking your child to hop like the rabbit in the book.
👉 Your toddler might also be able to label objects with simple sounds or words, for example, exclaiming “Moo!” when he sees a picture of a cow.
👉 For new talkers, get in the habit of pausing before you say a favorite line or phrase in the story to see if your toddler will fill in the final word. Harness your toddler’s growing independence and give your child the “job” of turning pages.
👉 While reading, take some time to discuss what’s happening in the pictures and ask questions about the book such as “Who is hiding behind the tree?” This interaction helps to build your toddler’s thinking and language skills.

07/08/2020

👶 9-18 months 👶
🧠 A newborn has all of the brain cells (neurons) they’ll have for the rest of their life, but what really makes the brain work are the connections (synapses) between those cells. 🧠 In early childhood, these connections are made at an amazing rate — far more than at any other time in life.
📖 Reading regularly with young children stimulates optimal patterns of brain development, which helps build strong pathways in the brain and in turn builds language, literacy, and social-emotional skills that can have life-long health benefits.
At this stage:
👉 Your toddler may have a favorite story that they request all the time.
👉 Offer board books with simple stories.
👉 Stories with rhymes and phrases that repeat also catch your toddler’s attention.
👉 Children this age also love stories with pictures of other babies and familiar objects, such as animals.
👉 Starting at about 12 months old, you can start to ask simple questions about the pictures such as “Where is the moon?” and watch to see if your baby points or gestures.

07/08/2020

👶 6-9 Months 👶
🧠 The human brain — the command center of the entire body — is not fully developed at birth. A newborn’s brain is about a quarter of the size of the average adult brain. Incredibly, it doubles in size in the first year and keeps growing to about 80 percent of adult size by age three and 90 percent — nearly full grown — by age five.
When you read to your baby:
📖 Your baby hears you using many different emotions and expressive sounds. This supports social and emotional development.
📖 It encourages your baby to look, point, touch, and answer questions. This helps with social development and thinking skills.
📖 Your baby improves language skills by copying sounds, recognizing pictures, and learning words.
👉 Babies may begin to explore books by looking, touching (opening/closing), and mouthing them.
👉 By 9 months, they may prefer or seem to recognize certain stories or pictures.
👉 Your baby may also continue to occasionally put the books in their mouth. In the early years, that is a normal book behavior and tells us that babies want to explore books!

07/08/2020

👶 Birth - 6 months 👶
🧠 Beginning to read very early in a child's life is important because the roots of language are developing in a baby’s brain even before they can talk! The more words your baby hears over time, the more words they learn
⚫⚪ Why black and white?
Before they’re born, babies can tell the difference between light and dark. At birth, a baby’s eyesight is still developing; their eyes haven’t yet learned how to work together, this will come over the next few months.
⚫⚪ A baby's colour perception is also limited at birth. Although there is varying evidence about which colours baby can see, there is wide agreement that babies first see white, black, and shades of grey.
🔴There is evidence to suggest that red is another one of the first colours a baby will be able to see, and the contrast with black and white makes it easier for babies to detect.
👉 Though your baby may seem too little to understand, he/she enjoys your company and the sounds of your voice and words.
👉 At this age, babies may come to recognize the book-sharing routine by calming, widening their eyes, or smiling and kicking to show excitement.
👉 Babies will also want to explore books through their senses by grabbing and chewing on the book.
👉 They may not pay attention to the whole story, so take a break when they get bored.

So this was the first time looking at this book, and I'm judging from Rosie's response at the end it was a good hit!

This book is recommended for ages 3+, Rosie is almost 2 and she thoroughly enjoyed it. Her attention span wasn't there to read through the descrition of each, but its something that will come as she gets older so fingers crossed she won't outgrow this book for a little while yet.

In this range there is the peep inside Animal Homes, A beehive, A tree, Bug homes, Dinosaurs, Space, The farm and many more!

These are £7.99 each but remember orders placed by the end of the week recieve an extra 10% off!
