eading and exploring books with babies can be done right from birth to start that love of reading. Here is a way to incorporate books into tummy time when they are ready to start! Start off with one book stood up in front of them. When they look at the book, point at the pictures and make the sounds and noises from the book to make it fun and engaging! As they grow and they start to show signs.of attempting to move, stand the books up in a circle around them (leaving space so baby can move freely without knocking the books) This will encourage baby to attempt to pivot. As they gain more head and neck control you can put the mirror page from a book flat on the ground so that they can attempt to look at themselves. Share this with anyone with young babies!

My top tips are: 🌲I used air dry white clay but you can also use salt dough. 🌲Don't roll them out too thin or they break easily. 🌲Let them dry properly before hanging them or again they will break. 🌲Once you have cut them use your finger to smooth out the cut edges. 🌲You can use a pen to draw lines to join the fingerprints to make them look like a string of lights but my children wanted them to be baubles. Such a lovely craft for a baby, toddler or older children to gift to relatives.
