Read and Explore shapes with this delightful shape – transportation book – Away We GO! My toddler adores the bright color illustrations and the shape cut-outs. He wants to turn the pages all by himself. It is one of our most requested board books.
I used the super cute book “Away We GO! A Shape-and-Seek Book” by Chieu Anh Urban and made a of GIANT felt pattern blocks.
We read the book and talked about the shapes and colors in each mode of transportation. Then, I just set both the book and the giant felt shapes in a box and let my little one open them like a present.
He was SOOOO excited!!!!
We talked about the colors.
We talked about the shapes.
We hid little cars under the big shapes.
We zoomed cars over the little shapes.
We played peek-a-boo with the squares.
We crawled and walked over patterns on the grass.
We snuggled in and read, “Away We Go!”
It was LOVELY.
