Fruits and Veggies Making Faces: A Children's Picture Book About Feelings, Emotions, Self-Expression

Young children can't help but enjoy these dramatic characters made from parts and pieces of fruits and vegetables designed to help little ones explore feelings and emotions. Watch children react when the characters respond to everyday discoveries and experiences with silly interjections, animated expressions, and quick rhymes. Capture their attention by reading with dramatic looks and exaggerated tones. Invite them to interact, read social cues, empathize, and mimic faces. What a healthy recipe for self-expression! While modeling behavior, ask open-ended questions that motivate older children to observe, examine, and reason. Whether you're a fruit and veggie enthusiast, or simply a lover of whimsy, this book promises to leave you looking for hidden faces and the meaning behind them everywhere you go! Researchers at the University of Cambridge in England say that when we make eye contact with a baby, we synchronize our brainwaves to theirs. This synchronicity, in turn, promotes both learning and communication skills. Growth and development in the early years can be advanced significantly by engaging young children (birth through preschool) in creative physical and verbally playful interactions. It's important to stimulate their senses every day. Foundation/Domain: Social-Emotional Development 28 pages 10" H x 8" W Available in English and Spanish This book is printed on demand.
