Child's Play, boardbooks, £3.99 each
Forming the Baby Gym series, this set of books provides an excellent selection of rhymes, with actions detailed alongside and snippets of care and development advice to parents and carers at the bottom of the page.
All of the rhymes are traditional, and while some are well known ('Round and Round the Garden'), many are unfamiliar ('Criss-cross, apple sauce, Spiders crawling up your back'), providing welcome additions to any nursery's perhaps stale collections of songs.
Inspired by research showing the benefits of exercise and massage for babies, the books provide delightful ways to stimulate a young child's senses and encourage interaction between parent and baby.
