Books are everywhere in our house. Baskets of them! Plus I always keep a few in my purse or in the diaper bag.
Some of our favorites are board books. Especially those hands on board books. Recently, I was sent two new board books from the Touch the Art series.
What a fun way to get kids interested in art! Sure, Paige doesn’t understand the importance or meaning of the art that is in the book, but that doesn’t matter. She’s learning. Learning by feeling the different textures. Learning by discovery, if that makes any sense.
We go over the animals in Catch Picasso’s Rooster. What does the cat say? What color is the cow? We do the same in Tickle Tut’s Toes. We talk about sand, the pretty jewels…it goes on and on.
Touch the Art brings the museum to my house in a fun, playful and education way. That, my friends, is a good thing.
