8 Cosy Christmassy Books To Curl Up With!

Who doesnt love playing in the snow (or reading about it)? This classic, which won the Caldecott Medal in 1963, tells the story of a little boy Peter and his adventures in the snow. With striking portraits of the African-American boy in his red snow suit against the backdrop of a snow-covered street, this charming book is sure to become a favorite Christmas read for parents and little ones. Activity: Engage your little one in some sensory play after reading this book together. Youll need a small tray or baking pan, some salt (to represent the snow), a pencil and a doll/figurine. Pour the salt all over the tray and make your child run her hands through it. Then, like Peter, let her make tracks on the make-believe snow with a pencil. With the help of a doll/figurine, she can also mark footprints. This poignant story portrays the true spirit.
