Spot's Christmas

Product Information

This is the perfect first book for little ones - the playful text is a wonderful spur to read and respond together, and the hide-and-seek flaps encourage curiosity and interactivity. Eric Hill's Spot picture books have sold over 50 million copies worldwide since Spot first appeared in 1980. Spot finds out about Christmas trees, carol-singers and presents from Father Christmas in this fabulously festive board-book edition of a classic lift-the-flap tale by Eric Hill, complete with shiny foil cover. Our favourite is to leave out a treat for Santa (ours is a sherry, glass of milk, mince pie and a carrot) on a special plate and in the morning find evidence that it has been eaten.

Even the baby will love this especially with the twinkling lights and sparkle from the decorations. #8 Decide on your family Santa Tradition Whether you go high tech and edit a photo of your kid’s room with them asleep in the bed and Santa there. Lift each flap to find all sorts of funny animal surprises, before discovering where cheeky Spot has been hiding.Celebrate Christmas with Spot in this new edition of a classic Spot tale – from the creator of the world’s best loved lift-the-flap books. As I discovered each family has different traditions before your child is born you probably don’t discuss much to do with Santa’s visits but now you have a little one it’s different. In our house Santa brings the presents from everyone on Christmas Eve plus a special little gift from him – an ornament for the tree, however, I know families where Santa brings everything and others where Santa brings the main present. Toddlers will love learning all about Christmas with Spot. With fun flaps to train fine motor skills and an adventure to encourage curiosity and exploration, this story is great for early learning and play.

This is a reissue of the bestselling board book, now in a smart cased-board format with sturdy, toddler-tough flaps!It should seem simple, but, believe me, it’s more complicated than you think, do you open in turn, do you separate out presents so some are opened throughout the day. So many questions and so many possibilities. Or get creative and leave sooty footprints leading from your chimney to your tree (my dad did this one year when I was a child it was really exciting and I still remember standing there looking at them with wonder). There is no right or wrong it’s up to you as a family to decide how you want Santa to bring presents to your house. Do you want to decorate as a family – take a picture of you, or if you’re a grandparent reading this of mom and the baby hanging ornaments together. Don’t forget to add the Christmas music and hang that baby’s first Christmas ornament together. Spot plans a surprise for his dad's birthday. Lift the flaps in this lively picture book to see how he succeeds in making a very special cake.
