- Books with an attachment for strollers or baby car seats are a great activity for on the go.
- You can also read picture books aloud: “The dog is in the meadow. What does the dog do? Woof.”

- 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.
- No small parts that can detach and be swallowed (beads, small bells, etc.).
