Tummy Time!is a double-sided,fold-out book with mirror designed as a very first book for newborns and perfect for tummy time. It keeps their brains busy while their bodies are hard at work.
Selected by BookTrust's panel of healthcare and literacy experts for their Bookstart bags in 2021,this new edition is even wider and stronger! It has the same high-contrast images on one side,perfect for newborns'developing vision,and photos of babies on the other because babies love looking at other babies. There's a mirror,too,because older babies love looking at themselves.
Whether you stand it up in front of them on their tummies,to the side of them during nappy changes,or read it together like a book,the mesmerizing patterns,high-contrasting colours,and baby faces will encourage babies to look at and "read"each image.
Ideal for babies up to 9 months old. Printed on FSC paper from sustainable forests.

"A game changer!"Instagrammer @scarletts_world_
"Got this free from our health visitor via the BookTrust scheme and it is excellent. He loves it and we actually do tummy time now!" Sarah on BookTrust.org.uk
"We got this free from our library. My baby loves it. We had bought some expensive cards similar to this online. There was no need,he prefers this book,now I am on the hunt for another." Leah on BookTrust.org.uk
"This book is a wonderful tool for encouraging babies to engage in Tummy Time as it so perfectly gives baby somethinginterestingand motivating to observe whilst in this important and supervised position for play. Tummy Time not only prevents flat spots on the back of baby's head,it supports the development of their spinal curves,and encourages them to use the muscles needed for later milestones such as rolling,sitting,crawling and even refined hand skills. Using this book is a greatopportunityto build strong attachments between parent/caregiver and baby; Ialways say the first thing babies love is a parent's face,the second is a book and this is just the ticket -it allows for that wonderful connection time together which builds babies'brains. The contrasting colours of thebookare ideal for younger babies,and really supports visual perceptual skills of older babies too. I love how the book even has a mirror,whichmeans that babies can explore their facialexpressions as they learnabouttheir bodies. I highlyrecommendthis book for parents tousewith theirlittleones,and will beaddingto theresourcesof my TummyTimePractitioners to use in their classes and workshops." -Carly Budd,Paediatric Occupational Therapist
