Notes for parentsHide-and-seek First Words is a great picture book for you and

your child to share. Filled with wonderful objects to find and

talk about, this book will help your child build vocabulary,

learn colors, practice counting, and develop observation skills.

To get the most out of this book Talk about all the things you see on each page. Point to the objects,

say their names, then hunt for each one together. As children become familiar

with the book, they will be able to name and find the objects themselves.

Encourage your child to describe the different things. What color or shape are they? What are they made of? Which one is

your childs favorite? Do you have something similar at home?

Read the rhymes and let your child say them with you. Then help your child find the objects in the rhymes.

Once your child knows letter sounds, you can play traditional I spy.Ask your child to find an object on the page that begins with a certain letter.
