1) They help tactile learning

All of us learn in different ways – we may understand about the world around us by seeing (visual learners), hearing (auditory learners) or by getting our hands dirty and fiddling (‘kinaesthetic’ or ‘tactile’ learners). Your toddler is a combination of all three, but chances are there will be an emphasis on the latter! Tearn-and-learn books are perfect for getting your toddler to learn through doing.

2) They help develop fine motor skills

With every turn of the page, a pop-up book offers a chance to develop your toddler’s fine motor skills. There are levers to pull, flaps to lift and shapes to turn, all activities which encourage your child to use their fingers and develop hand-eye co-ordination.

3) They help maintain interest in the story

Why do you think children’s books are full of brightly-coloured illustrations? Having something to look at (and, in this case, to do) reinforces the story and keeps your toddler interested and interacting.

4) They help develop comprehension skills

With a  turn-and-learn book, there are so many more questions that you can ask your toddler. What’s under the flap? What happens if you pull that? Reading a  turn-and-learn book with your toddler will help them understand what is going on in the text.

5) They’re fun!

With  turn-and-learn books, there’s a surprise behind every page! They tap into your toddler’s natural curiosity and reading a story becomes so much more than just following a narrative – it’s a multi-sensory experience.

Take a look at the selection of  turn-and-learn and pop-up titles we have at great rates from Toddler Fun. And if these five reasons don’t entice you, buy one for yourself…

Admit it, you can never outgrow a good pop-up book!
