This selection of books actually doubles as activities as well. Paint the pages of the Water Wonders book with water and watch the pictures appear. Dry overnight to enjoy the next day. The Colorful World books are great for working on logic skills. These smaller book books feature differences, animals to count, and bright vibrant colors. My Colorful Quiz books are another great pick for working on logic. These board books allow kids to look at the pictures and determine which object matches.

March 6th is Dentist Day!

Going to the dentist can be a scary time for a little one. We always made it a point to educate our kiddos before getting them in the chair. Knowledge is power! I love that PaperPie offers all kinds of books that focus on taking care of our dental hygiene. Our favorite is 𝙑𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙁𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙩 𝙇𝙞𝙛𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙁𝙡𝙖𝙥 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙎𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙄 𝘽𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙝 𝙈𝙮 𝙏𝙚𝙚𝙩𝙝. This book is jam packed with info on how many teeth we have, how to take care of our teeth and why it's important to brush! Before heading to the dentist we read 𝙂𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘿𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙨𝙩. It shows children everything to know about the dentist and what will happen while they're there from a simple checkup to a cavity.

Which book would your family benefit from?
