Toy Books
(For 1.5-2.5 Year Olds)


The storytime kids enjoy toy books that have lift-the-flaps or move-the-tabs capabilities. The kids enjoy playing peek-a-boo with book characters. In No Bed Without Ted ,by Nicola Smee, a little girl won't go to bed until she finds her teddy bear and we look for the teddy bear behind flaps throughout the book. In Where's Sam?, by Yves Got, Sam tries on various costumes as we look for him behind the flaps. We sang together the classic song while I showed the big book version of Down By the Station. We counted together as I did the flannel board story, "Two Little Blackbirds".
