Baby Books Checklist

Structure And Appearance
  • Many bright colors animate your baby to play and explore
  • Strong contrasts are better for small babies, as their visual acuity develops over time.
  • Familiar everyday objects, animals and toys in the books arouse interest, the learning effect, the recognition value and promote the learning of first words.
  • Turning the pages trains your child’s fine motor skills.
  • Elements that crackle, squeak, rustle and mirrors are particularly interesting.
  • Faces are already perceived by small babies.
  • Babies lovefold-out elements (“Look, what’s hiding behind the door?”).
  • Books with an attachment for strollers or baby car seats are a great activity for on the go.
Look At And “Read” Together
  • You can also read picture books aloud: “The dog is in the meadow. What does the dog do? Woof.”
  • Books are already educational for babies to understand relationships (The farmer mows the field and makes hay for the animals, the bee flies from flower to flower and makes honey in the hive, etc.).
  • Touching and feeling different surfaces and materials encourage the sense of touch and understanding of different material properties (“Oh, that’s so soft, it’s really smooth, and it glitters so nicely!”).
Material
  • Soft fabric pages, thick cardboard pages or books made of wood.
  • Look for durable, washable surfaces or cloth booksthat can be washed in the washing machine.
  • Certified materials, as babies like to put everything in their mouths.
Safety
  • No small parts that can detach and be swallowed (beads, small bells, etc.).
  • Any battery compartment must be childproof (screwed)
  • Shatterproof elements made of plastic and no mirrors made of glass.
  • Test seal for harmless ingredients (GS, CE and / or Spiel gut).
