What a great season to go shopping, exploring, and learning! Pay a special visit to the Kim and Carrots (Pretend) Shop, where lovable toddler Kim “sells” toys, cookies, and fruit. Then, enjoy a day out at the farmers market with family to enjoy all of the good things to touch, smell, taste, see, and even taste! All of those tasty fruits and vegetables have to go home somewhere. Join the “Mouse Family Supper,” where a single pea becomes a feast!
Share a cup of tea together, go to the library, and make your very own special puppets! Then, celebrate a love of reading with Heidi Bee Roemer’s adorable poem, “Baby Bookworm!”
Don’t miss the “Guide for Caregivers” at the back of each issue, supplying grownups with useful tips to help kiddos get the most out of BABYBUG. This issue is particularly filled with tips to encourage the youngest children to become readers—starting with a growing familiarity with books! Make your own fun puppets and foster imaginative play inspired by Kim and Carrots! This issue of BABYBUG is a feast for the imagination.
