TouchThinkLearn: Homes is an ingeniously designed board book that introduces toddlers and preschoolers to various types of homes, from a bird's nest to a polar bear's den. Its signature feature involves raised, shaped objects on one page that perfectly fit into scooped cutouts on the opposite page, encouraging children to use their sense of touch, sight, and language simultaneously. This multisensory approach aids in the understanding of essential concepts and vocabulary, making abstract ideas tangible. It's a wonderful tool for developing fine motor skills, object recognition, and early language acquisition, perfect for interactive read-alouds or quiet independent exploration.
Featuring spreads with raised, shaped objects that fit into scooped cutouts on their opposite page, these new TouchThinkLearn books offer the youngest learners an opportunity to explore in a hands-on, multisensory way. Seeing the image, tracing its shape, saying its name—these modes of perception combine to stimulate understanding of essential concepts. Discover a polar bear by tracing its raised outline on one side, and the concave shape of its cozy den on the other! Related words on each spread offer a springboard for further conversation to encourage the language skills crucial to later successful learning. In a format unlike any other, these groundbreaking books translate abstract thought into tangible knowledge.
