Los mejores regalos de Navidad para niños: ¡Más libros y menos videojuegos!
This Christmas change the technological gifts for more enriching, fun and educational options for your children: Books to read as a family!
Books allow us to travel to other places, imagine, create and learn. And is there something better for a child? Many times we insist on following their technological desires and we resort to video games, tablets or mobile phones. But Christmas can be a good time to disconnect from technology and spend more time with the family, for example, reading a good book with the kids at home. The best gift we can give to our children is culture, it's imagination, it's having fun living adventures between the pages. Here you have several books for children between 1 and 7 years old that can end up under your Christmas tree. At least we would like that!
Orangutan is Scared
"Orangutana is scared" is one of the best books for children to start reading, both alone and accompanied. And reading is a fun and easy way to find that special family moment that we all yearn for every day.
And although this book is excellent for reading with parents, it is also perfect for children who start reading independently. This is precisely because the text was shortened and the typeface was changed to make it easier for children to read.
Books should start conversations, with some things left open-ended. Children can use their imaginations to finish the story in their own way or apply it to themselves”
Sophie Holmqvist, author of Orangutan is Scared
"He must be afraid to be brave"
The writer of this story and the full of valuable lessons, was inspired by her daughter, who at that time was faced with a series of "fears" that did not let her be happy. It was then when it was shown that he is well scared, that we are all afraid of something. Moreover, it is necessary to be afraid to be brave.
Thus, the orangutan of this story discovers that she is actually much braver than she thinks. Do you want to discover the rest of the story?
Accompany the story with its main character
Who better to read with you than the very protagonist of the story? This orangutan is the same that appears in the drawings of the story, and has a super-soft touch. In addition, it has closures in hands and feet so you can hold on and hug as you would with trees in the jungle. We are sure that the kids will love being able to read their story over and over again while playing with it.
Sometimes we create a soft toy from a book character, and other times we create a book from a soft toy concept. The Peekaboo! book features a whole family of IKEA toys to collect”
Jorge Santoyo, product developer for Children’s IKEA
¡Peekaboo!
This is the first IKEA baby book. In addition, it is also accompanied by the small panda stuffed animal, protagonist of this story. A panda baby that is the perfect size to snuggle up while reading the story before going to bed.
Stuffed animals like this are ideal for the youngest of the house (from 0 to 2 years old) since they are the perfect combination to develop sensory skills and encourage social and emotional growth.
BOKLIG: a saga of animals in the forest
The owl goes on vacation is the first of the stories we can find in this pack of three. This wise owl, teacher of all the children who go to the school of the forest, needs a vacation and the magpie is in charge for a time of the classes.
In the second book, we encourage you to share the journey of the hedgehog to meet the animals and plants of the forest. And in the third, the elk STRÖVA believes that he can not be the king of the forest and the KNORRIG boar prefers to live outdoors.
Discover all the stories of these animals with their protagonists, like this puppet of the owl.
I love Ann-Cathrine’s illustrations, they really bring the stories to life. And she is so into the detail – she even contacts nature experts to check the flowers and leaves are all authentic”
Sophie Holmqvist, author of Orangutan is Scared
