Toys I Make-Trips I Take

Week 5

Dear Imagine That! Parent:

Open a book and open a new world.

Our new book, If I Had a Big Blue Boat, not only helps us explore the sights and sounds of the sea, it helps our language and thinking skills. By reading together, your child will learn and understand new words. Research proves it.

In telling about things that happen in his own day, your preschooler uses new words and begins to develop the concept of beginning, middle, and end, which is good for expressing himself more clearly. And the adventures in the story lend some ideas for his own creative, imaginative play at home. You might be surprised how far his imagination can take all of you.

I can’t wait to hear about all your family’s boating adventures—it’s sure to be a wild ride!
