Soundboard books are not only fun but also an excellent way to engage toddlers in interactive learning experiences! Here are some helpful tips for parents to make the most of these delightful books while fostering imagination and development in your little one.
💡 Tips for Parents:
-
Read Together: Bonding over a book is a special experience. Sit with your toddler, read aloud, and encourage them to press the soundboard buttons. Our Lullaby Songs, Sing Along book is perfect for this, featuring classic lullabies performed by Chicago musicians that bring the pages to life.
-
Highlight Sounds: Press the buttons to play songs and sounds, drawing attention to how each button corresponds to an image or theme on the page. This is especially engaging with our The Wheels on the Bus book, which takes toddlers on a musical adventure through five major U.S. cities! It will become available for purchase in October!
-
Interactive Play: Ask open-ended questions about the illustrations and sounds. For example, "Which bus would you like to ride?" or "What sound does the lullaby make?" This keeps toddlers engaged while also improving language skills.
-
Routine: Make soundboard books part of your daily routine. Whether it's bedtime or playtime, familiar songs like Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star and Brahms’ Lullaby can help create soothing moments during the day.
-
Encourage Creativity: Soundboard books can spark creative activities. Use the songs as a springboard for dancing, singing along, or even telling your own stories based on the illustrations. Let your child’s imagination lead the way!
-
Maintain the Book: Teach your child how to handle and store the book properly to keep it in great condition for continued use. Our books are durable, with thick pages designed for little hands, but gentle care will help them last longer.
Enjoy quality family time while encouraging early learning and fostering your toddler’s curiosity with every press of a button. Our soundboard books make for the perfect screen-free companion!
