Babies and toddlers enjoy counting and identifying colors so much! Amy and Ivan , by Charise Harper, generates both of these fun activities as we observe colorful trucks and count the birthday party items inside each colorful lift-the-flap. The enormously popular and exciting big book Mouse Paint , by Ellen Walsh, has intriguing illustrations of cute mice that climb into paint jars, mix the paint and create new colors with it. The children enjoyed producing animal noises with the fun book This Little Chick , by John Lawrence. Singing along, we counted together "Ten Little Fishies" as I showed this flannel board story.
