Books for Toddlers

"Books are a uniquely portable magic." - Stephen King.

"If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need"- Marcus Tullius Cicero.

"If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales."- Sir Albert Einstein.

The above few quotes explain the importance of books in one's life. 

Books should be introduced early in the childhood due to innumerable reasons- 

- They enhance the curiosity and imagination of children. 

- They increase the visual perception which, in turn, enhances their brain development. 

- They are a good way of spending "quality time" with your kids. Reading books to your toddlers increases the bonding between parents and kids.  

- They are good way of meeting a child inside you too. No matter how old you grow, you should always try to nurture that "kid at heart" feeling. It makes you feel lighter and more close to your little angelic bambinos.😊💝

Variety of books are available for toddlers these days- Touch and feel books, board books, lift-the-flap books, picture books, sticker books, colouring books, activity books, story books and many more. Here, I share with you few books which adorn my bookshelf:

1. 'Dear Zoo' by Rod Campbell-

A lift-the-flap book, Dear Zoo is a classic. It is a great introduction for toddlers to the world of books and world of animals. One of the finest books, from my collection. A must. Check the book here- https://amzn.clnk.in/f9Bj

2. 'Peppa Pig: Marvellous Magnet Book' by Ladybird-
Peppa Pig is one of the favourite cartoons of toddlers. This book contains colourful backdrops from famous Peppa episodes and small magnetic cut-outs of major characters from Peppa Pig Serial. Kids love to pretend play with this magnetic book. Check the Peppa Pig: Marvellous Magnet Book by Ladybird here- https://amzn.clnk.in/f9IP

3. 'Slide and See Jungle Board Book' by Om Publishers-
Another colourful addition in kids bookshelf is Slide and See Jungle book by Om Publishers. The illustrations in this board book are so colourful and vivid that kids really enjoy reading it. Double layer slide-in/slide-out really excites the children. Check the Slide and See Jungle board book by Om Publishers on Firstcry here- https://clnk.in/rW83

4. PATPAT Cloth Book for babies- 
This is a recent addition to our kids bookshelf. A unique cloth book, its light-weight, colourful, vibrant and washable!!! (though I haven't washed it yet). Its a zipper bag-book and contains various engaging things like matching the shapes, open the zipper, button the cloth, tie the show-lace and lot more. Excellent book for tiny tots. Must try.

5. My First Learning Library by Wonder House-
This mini-library is most visited by my toddler. Its picture above is a proof 😀. The set of 20 small books is apt for first learning. It is visually so appealing to tiny kids that they can spend a good 15-30 minutes (may be more) with it. A great help to work-from-home mothers too😀. (Tips to engage toddlers when working from home)

Some more perks with this mini library-

- Kids love to take out and put the books back in the box.
- They love to arrange the books in various arrangements according to book colours. (Colour pattern learning)
- Includes Alphabets, Numbers, Colours, Shapes, Birds, Wild Animals, Sea Animals, Flowers, Toys etc- basically all the first things, which we wish to introduce to our little cuddlies.

6. 'How to Catch a Star' by Oliver Jeffers-
Stars fascinate all the kids. This beautiful tale about owning a star is truly an amazing read for kids and adults both. Imaginative, colourful and vibrant, How to catch a star is a magical day-night read.

7. 'Where is Baby's Belly Button?' by Karen Katz-
Cute and interesting, this book would certainly become your toddler's favourite. Its lift-the-flap is like playing peek-a-boo with body parts. Great inclusion in children's book collection. Check Where is Baby's Belly Button? by Karen Katz here- https://amzn.clnk.in/f94C

Poem: A Mother's First Day @ School

From tummies to laps, from crawls to jumping jacks...Time just flies with little ones. Then comes the day, when these naughty champs have to begin their journey called life. First step: The 'Preschool', after which they won't be wholly ours. Beginning of school years brings a huge relief to mum's life but the first day of separation @ school is the heaviest for mom and child both. Here, I have tried to pen a poem which explains the emotions of a mother on the very first day of preschool. A Mother's First Day @ School In new uniform Let me behold this sight. My little one Is grown up now Then why is this fright? Big school, Big classrooms, Much bigger than her height. Am I ready? Is she ready? For life's new flight. Racing heart, Welled up eyes, That tiny wrist held tight. Pecked, Hugged, " I will be outside " Oops! I just lied. Quiet home, Hushed toys, And so is my appetite. Fidgety, Jittery Couple of hours, Hope all is alright. Tick-tock, tick-tock L

Kids Product Review- "Cocomo"

We see a slew of  baby  products in the market. But there is shortage of products for  kids  in the range of 4-16 years. This age group neither comes under babies, nor under adults. Though baby products can still be used but adult cosmetic products- a big NO.  I was using a baby shampoo for my daughter (7+) since toddlerhood, but then her hair started to dry out. After lot of research, I found that there are not many brands and products available for middle years, pre-teens and teenagers. Then, I came across the brand Cocomo. Cocomo is the best brand for growing kids and teens. As per Cocomo, their products are 100% safe and natural with   no   parabens and   no   sulphates. You can find wide range of products on their website- Hair care, Bath and body, Deodorants, Travel packs, Combo packs etc for growing teen girls. I ordered 'Cocomo- Earth Shine' Shampoo, according to my daughter's hair requirement and I am not disappointed.  Her long hair-locks are getting better day by

Baby Product Review- MamaEarth Tummy Roll on

MamaEarth Tummy Roll on Babies are prone to colic, gas and indigestion until their digestive system is fully developed. It may also be caused due of mother's diet or improper feeding or excessive swallowing-in of air while crying. The digestive system takes approximately six months to mature and till then colic is the major reason for your child's discomfort. One age-old home-made remedy to soothe abdominal discomfort is application of hing- warmed in ghee. (Asafoetida warmed in clarified butter). Some use hing burnt in ghee . This can be applied gently around belly button in small circular motions, 3-5 times a day, or till the baby feels relieved. This remedy can be used from 0 + months. However, overpacked schedules of mommies may call for some handy and faster remedy. One equally good ready-remedy is "Mamaearth tummy roll on" . It can be used from 3+ months. It is a wonderful product by Mamaearth.  Check it here-  https://amzn.clnk.in/geft I received Mamaearth hamp
