Textured Board Book Exploration

Chunky board books with textured pages — reading time doubles as sensory time.

Steps

1. Choose a board book with different textures on each page: fuzzy, bumpy, smooth.
2. Sit your baby in your lap and open to the first textured page.
3. Guide their hand to feel each texture while you name it out loud.
4. Let them turn pages, or attempt to, at their own pace — chewing on the corners is normal.

Notes

Board books are durable enough to survive mouthing, which makes them perfect for this age.
