Daily Activity for Kids – Top 5 Books for Toddlers and Preschool
Reading books can take us to a world that our imagination can run free in. It allows us to explore the world, to see things different, to feel how someone else might feel. Reading is a time to unplug and spend time together with your young child. Books provide a great teaching opportunity to help children explore the world around them and themselves.
Today we are sharing our list of the top 5 books for young children (both toddlers and preschoolers):
Toddler:
- Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? By Bill Martin Jr.
- The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle
- Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown
- I Love you Forever by Robert Munsch
