How to try it
Settle your toddler in your lap with a lift-the-flap board book and pause before each flap so they can lift it themselves. Name whatever is hiding underneath in a happy, surprised voice.
Materials
- Lift-the-flap board book
Safety note
Sit close — torn paper flaps are small enough to end up in the mouth.
Review this idea in your private family planner before saving.
Why it matters
Lifting each flap themselves helps your toddler connect words to pictures and stay part of the story.
