Fun with Flaps

Where's Spot? (Little Spot Board Books) - Eric Hill

We've had Where's Spot for a few months now, and she's been fine with me reading it and looking in the flaps, but has only reached for the whole book herself (usually to put it in her mouth). This has been pretty typical, that she lets me read books for a while, but then wants to grab them and put a corner of them in her mouth. Just the last few days has she started taking one page at a time and turning it - she's only able to grab one page at a time if I hold it up a bit for her, but she definitely knows what to do with it.

 

Today I picked up Where's Spot and started holding the flaps open just a bit like I do the pages, and she went right for them, pulling up each flap to see what's behind them. She even got a few of them on her own! She still had to take a couple of gnaw breaks in the middle, but we're on our way to interactive reading.
