亮丽精美触摸书 Touch and Feel Animals (Set of 4)

This is a wonderful touch-and-feel series featuring animals in the wild,
that is frequently enjoyed by my kids!

• 小熊波比 Bobby Bear

What we love about this series

• illustrations are gorgeous and realistic
• featuring 25 animals
• lovely textures for little ones to explore that are really quite true-to-life (this is a hit for babies, toddlers, preschoolers and even for my primary school aged kids!) and invite kids to interact with the book!
• provides interesting sensory stimulation, and helps children put a name to textures they feel and details they see, and these can be used to describe other experiences too. Examples include
• 老木头的树皮是粗粗的 rough bark on the old log
• 柔软的羽毛 soft feathers
• 光滑闪亮的金鱼 shiny goldfish
• 滑溜溜的鳞片 slippery scales
• large illustrations - a treat for the eyes
• board book with rounded corners and non-standard outline - sturdy and safe for little hands, interesting too!
• fully bilingual - we can enjoy the stories in both English and Mandarin, and learn the terms in both languages
• large readable text - easy for group reading and sharing
• nurtures appreciation of nature
• thoughtful questions to encourage interaction with the story and sensory elements. Especially for parents who need help to make storytime more engaging
• toddlers and preschoolers can practise one-one-one correspondence while counting!
• can be part of quiet time basket (if child drops naps), calming corner or sensory corner!

Suggested extension activities:

• Visit a pet and pat it
• Gather several items around the house with various textures for the child to touch, and if appropriate, describe
• Gather some recycled items with various textures, and paste them on a board for the child to explore
