2 best melissa doug toddler girl books

Product description

"With foam pages and 4 removable shaped foam objects, this is the perfect first puzzle book for bathtime, playtime, or anytime! Textures, colors, and recognizable objects keep kids engaged as they learn to identify the shapes they see all around them, like triangles, rectangles, circles, and squares! Pieces float or stick to the sides of the tub. Fit them back in the book, then read and play again! Pediatricians recommend toys and books that encourage rich interactions between caregiver and child. Use this Soft Shapes puzzle book to engage in conversations with your child as they play. Object play with manipulatives such as bath toys helps develop hand-eye coordination and adds a tangible, physical component to kids' learning. This bath toy set makes a great gift for babies and toddlers, ages 4 months to 2-years-old. Add Melissa & Doug Float-Alongs Bath Books and Toys to round out the pretend play experience and give kids another engaging option for screen-free fun. For more than 30 years, Melissa & Doug has created beautifully-designed imagination- and creativity-sparking products that NBC News called “the gold standard in early childhood play.” We design every toy to the highest-quality standards, and to nurture minds and hearts.
