Book Gift Ideas for Preschool
Have you checked out the book gift ideas recommended for toddlers?
My preschooler still enjoys those as much as any new ones mentioned in this post!
In reality, my oldest (6 now) still enjoys looking through toddler and preschool aged books. I do too!
We love looking at the bright and colorful images and counting the repetitive characters that play out in certain books.
For example, a toddler might enjoy learning:
“Oh, is that soup?” or, “Look at that bird!”
And a preschooler might enjoy learning:
“What colors make up the soup?” or “How many birds do you see?”
Both toddlers and preschoolers can truly benefit from the same book at their own level.
