Five For A First: Bath Books

Continuing my series of recommendations

For gifts for a first birthday

Gift ideas that work for older babies

And young toddlers

Today I want to tell you about some bath books

We LOVE books in our house

And have them quite literally everywhere

We punctuate our days with books

Enhance our learning and connect our play

All with books

books at play

We read at meal times

We read at bedtime

We read in the bath

The best thing about bath books though

Is that they are tough

They are almost indestructible

So perfect for use in the garden

Perfect to take out and about

Perfect for play

These are five of our favourite

Wee Gallery Colour Me Bath Books

This is a beautiful bath book

The contemporary illustrations are striking

The colour when it comes is bright

Not like the magic paint books where all the colours are muted

The colour in these Wee Gallery books is bright and bold

Rushing into the pictures as the pages get wet

And disappearing again as the pages dry

We have been testing the Ocean book

They have loved looking at the pictures

Making patterns with soggy fingers

And seeing the colour flood the ocean creatures

A great present for bath time and all times

I love the look of this book

And the accompanying penguin toy

There are other bath books in this French series

That all look equally fun
