Whether they were talking about the best gifts for 6-month-olds or 6-year-olds, our expert sources warned that anything you give to a child is also a thing you’re giving to their parents.
$6 at Amazon Buy $6 at Target Buy “You Are Light” by Aaron Becker $16 now 25% off $12 This die-cut board book, which came recommended by Brooklyn Public Library’s Rachel Payne, is kind of like an interactive work of art that’s designed to introduce your little one to colors. Hold it up to a window or a lamp and explore how the light changes through each translucent circle.
$12 at Target Buy $18 at Barnes & Noble Buy “Little Chef” by Melissa & Doug $13 now 31% off $9 When we talked to experts about the best ways to keep kids busy at home, Marie Masterson, the director of quality assessment at the McCormick Center for Early Childhood Leadership, recommended “quiet books” made of felt or quilted material that have something for children to fiddle with on each page, from Velcro to zippers to buttons.
$9 at Amazon Buy $10 at Barnes & Noble Buy “Cityblock” by Christopher Franceschelli $17 now 24% off $13 There’s lots to look at and study in this metropolitan-themed board book. “Each page is cut into the shape of a letter of the alphabet, creating a sort of peek-through guessing game around the letter form itself,” says Vina Castillo, a co-owner of Kew & Willow Books.
$5 at Target Buy $9 at Barnes & Noble Buy “First Animal Encyclopedia” by DK $18 now 22% off $14 According to educator and homeschool mom Britt Hawthorne, children around the age of 5 tend to love animals, and a picture book full of them is a great way to hold their attention. “You could get a solid 30 minutes of them just looking at the pictures,” she told us.
