And not just older kids, sticker books for toddlers are also fantastic. It’s great for little ones and all
Space is a fascinating subject, and for toddlers, it is even more mesmerizing. It is so abstract, so strange, and so captivating at the same time. The moon, the planets, the rocket ships, the astronauts are all exciting. My 3-year-old son is absolutely in love with anything space-related. So I thought I’d share with you
It was my daughter’s 6th birthday recently. She was so happy! I feel she has grown up a lot in just so little time. And from the look of her birthday gifts, I see her interests have shifted and grown. So I’ve put together this list of 6 year old girl birthday gift ideas that
My son is now crazy about space. He is 3 and is fascinated by rockets, planets and space. My husband is thrilled because it has always been a passion of his and he can’t wait to watch with him Cosmos with Neil deGrasse Tyson. (If you haven’t seen it, it is fantastic and so well
My daughter will be turning 6 in a couple of weeks. Oh my! What an amazing year. I feel like we have lived it intensely but at the same time it has flown by so fast. We’ve read a ton of books together this past year, and before we blow the candles, (and while I
I was going through our little library the other day, and I realized we have quite a Julia Donaldson book collection at home. We love her books. Particularly the ones she does in partnership with the fantastic illustrator Axel Scheffler. Those are our favorites. We discovered Julia Donaldson’s picture books when we moved to London.

That is
Dragons are fantastic and magical creatures that enchant us and kids love. We have always been fascinated by their stories and myths, and it is no wonder that they are beloved by people of all ages. I had not realized it until now, but we have quite a few picture books about them, so I
My son is turning 3 this week. For the past weeks we’ve been researching what would be a great gift for a 3 year old boy… and in doing so, I realised I now have a very fresh idea of everything he’s used and really enjoyed as a 2 year old. All the toys, books,
This week my son is turning 3. What a year it has been! And now that I still have it fresh, I wanted to put together a list of what we consider are the best books for 2 year olds. Because I will possibly end up forgetting I believe that finding books that they enjoy
I have a tiny ballerina at home. She loves to wear her tutu and ballet shoes and dance and twirl around the house (after asking Google to play some classical music that she can dance to). I guess it all started 3 years ago when I saw her staring at a group of girls in
The dog says, “woof.” The cat says, “meow.” The cow says, “moo.” And the baby says, “wow.” Some of the first sounds our children will make are animal sounds. They are fascinated by them and relatively easy to replicate. They are incredibly easy concepts to teach them at first, and because of it, that is
