Sweeping, scrubbing, dusting, and picking up are perfect hands-on
activities for teaching toddlers to care for their environment,
while also fostering independence and developing strong motor
skills. Inspired by the Montessori curriculum, this colourful guide
specially created for 2- to 5-year-olds, teaches practical life
skills with step-by-step photos. From setting a table to washing
dishes, dusting shelves, and cleaning the bedroom, toddlers and
preschoolers learn the confidence and satisfaction that comes from
being able to help at home. The unique book format features an
interactive skills chart with sliding windows on the inside back
cover, encouraging toddlers to complete the task, slide the window
and proudly say, "I Did It!".
English-Spanish bilingual editions of titles in Free Spirit's
popular Best Behavior series. The toddler years are full of growth
and smiles and sweetness--but also tantrums. With toddlers,
yelling, screaming, wailing, and flailing are a normal part of
life. Very young children don't yet have the words to express
strong feelings, and they're still learning social skills. This
board book helps little ones understand why it's better to use an
indoor voice--"so people hear the words and not the yelling"--and
how to calm down and ask for help so they can get what they need.
Also includes tips for parents and caregivers. The Best Behavior
series uses simple words and delightful full-color illustrations to
guide children to choose peaceful, positive behaviors. Select
titles are available in two versions: a durable board book for ages
baby-preschool, and a longer, more in-depth paperback for ages 4-7.
Kids, parents, and teachers love these award-winning books. All
include helpful tips and ideas for parents and caregivers.
