I am working on a new prototype for the soft book, and to add interest, I sewed some embroidered tags with the name of the animal on them. These attach with a small velcro tab to the page of the book. More fun or too busy?
Truly, wee ones do not read, and letter recognition is a skill far beyond their development. So... if you want that extra bit, how about tiny repeats of the larger image in white on black, as you have the letters? Or perhaps a small image of the creature's home or habitat - a tree, a branch, a rock, etc? (I work with children birth-5 and have done so for almost 30 years!) Best, Andrea
I like them but I would like to see the two different versions.
ReplyDeleteHere's a link to the soft book without tabs.

The non-busy version i.e. without the tabs, is definitely more your style.
