Books are like well-loved and familiar friends. Getting to know a story by reading it over and over again, looking at the illustrations and familiarizing oneself with the characters, empowers toddlers and gives them confidence and generates enthusiasm. You should expose toddlers to new and different books, while going back and rereading their old favorites too.
Some plants can be propagated from a leaf – grow a new plant by planting the end of the leaf closest to the stem in a pot with moistened soil. You can try this, for example, with Sansevieria, Peperomia, or various succulents.
Look at the party illustration together in which all the children are dancing around in a circle. You can point at the various characters (“Here’s a strawberry”) and describe them, while noting at which station they had boarded the bus. During re-readings, you can notice whether the costumes have any special accessories and look for other interesting details.
