I wanted to introduce Lilah to reading a bit more than just a bed time story. So we pulled out her book case and revamped it!
Because I am slightly obsessed with the autumn/ winter months I thought it would be a good idea to teach Lilah about the season's through books. Trailling through Amazon I found some beautiful books all to do with Fall/autumn, pumpkins, foraging, Halloween and Thanksgiving (have always wanted to celebrate this) !
We then went to the park near us and collected conkers, acorns, and leaves to decorate the book case with.
Cuddling with your kids, watching them become engrossed in a story told to them from their own parents animated character vocie, is a priceless experience. More and more studies are proving how beneficial reading with a parent is for developing children.
A child who has been read to will want to learn to read herself. She will want to do what she sees her parents doing. Reading increases a child's attention span and a parent's own cognitive ability, It is one of the most essential and valuable activities kids can inherit from parents simply by observing them being engrossed in a book or magazine.
When we pack away the Halloween decorations this year, I will be pulling on the Winter/Christmas books to re doctorate this book case with. I wanted to conitue to rotate this books throughout the year with New year, Valentines day, Spring, Summer and so on
The books in this picture were all purchased on Amazon:
Maisys, Trick or Treat
Beware Beware
Let it Fall
The Berebatain Bears - Thanksgiving
Pumpkin Soup
The haunted House
