In the beloved recurring “Kim and Carrots” story, Daddy helps Kim and Carrots and make magnificent paper crowns. A cardboard box transforms into a vehicle for all kinds of imaginative play, becoming a car, a boat, and a plane! What else can a cardboard box turn into? Dale Cross Purvis’s adorable poem, “Little Penguin is Thankful,” captures the holiday spirit as well as the bond between caregivers and children. It’s especially touching to read out loud with your own little penguins!
Join Grandpa and Emily through the seasons as they grow sunflowers and turn them into bird food for the winter! Spot a bright red cardinal in the snow, imagine a hibernating bear’s dreams, celebrate the first snow of winter, and more. This issue of BABYBUG feels like a warm hug!
Plus, the Guide for Caregivers in the back of each issue is filled with wonderful suggestions for fun interactive ways to engage with BABYBUG. In this issue, create a homemade hat like Kim and Carrots and discover all of the wonderful ways a costume can help your child play pretend!
