If it’s time for another baby shower and your brain feels like it’s reached a creative impasse when it comes to baby options, consider a board book. Books for babies are not unusual as gifts. However, with some tweaking, your gift can stand out. Making sure your book is a board book is key. These are heavier books, easier for small hands and mouths that want to gnaw. To make the gift even more baby-centric consider high contrast books in black and white that play to baby’s eye strength. Interactive books are good for wee ones too. Keep the books short and simple. Be wary of options that are too intricate and clearly more intended for the parents to enjoy.
Key Takeaways:
- Try to get a high contrast book as this will help since the eyesight of a newborn continues to develop.
- Make sure to get some interactive books such as a lift the flap book or one that teaches in a tactile way.
- Pick a book that can teach your child some important concepts such as colors, shapes and numbers.
“The best board books, however, are not picture books simply printed on heavier paper.”
