Books That Babies Love
Physical Therapist’s Tip: Choose books that feature clearly defined illustrations and a variety of textures to captivate your baby during tummy time.
Soft & Crinkle Books.
Soft books are lightweight and durable making them safe and easy for babies to handle, encouraging independent exploration and fostering a love for reading from an early age. Crinkle books stimulate auditory and tactile senses and captivate your baby’s curiosity.
Board Books.
Board books are durable and easy for little hands to manipulate. Books with black and white images are particularly appealing to newborns and young infants, as their developing vision is more attuned to high-contrast patterns, which can captivate their attention. Additionally, babies are naturally drawn to faces, and books featuring images of other babies offer a special allure.
Touch & Feel Books.
Touch and feel books provide a rich and engaging multi-sensory experience. These books incorporate a variety of textures and materials that encourage tactile exploration, allowing your baby to feel different surfaces such as smooth, rough, soft, or bumpy. Sensory stimulation is foundational for their cognitive and motor development, as it helps them learn about the world through their sense of touch.
