Have you tried reading your toddler a textured book? They’re great fun for both parent and baby – you do the reading, and Baby can follow along, touching the characters in the stories with their little fingers.
Usborne touchy-feely books are shorties, and some have a wintry theme: reindeer, polar bears … My little girl and I are enjoying the Snowman, and his lovely red furry scarf and bouncy orange nose. Anything animal related usually goes down a treat.
If you’re looking for tips on what to read your baby or toddler, try our It’s never too soon list for reading suggestions for under fives.
