Eyes, Nose, Fingers, and Toes
by Judy Hindley (illustrated by Brita Granstrom) is a rhyming book that is just plain fun! I borrowed it from the library knowing both my 3 and 1 year old would enjoy it! The rhymes are cute, but the illustrations are even more adorable!
Can I share one last thought with you? It's perfectly okay for a child to put the parts in the wrong holes! I also think that part of the learning process is to occasionally guide a child to place the parts in the correct hole, without moving it from the "wrong" area. The goal is to have fun!

A nose is to sniff.

A natural follow-up activity for a 1 year old is just to find or identify body parts and play with Mr. Potato Head
! It's definitely one of E's favorite toys, especially for independent play. Mr. Potato Head is excellent for promoting speech, too! Not only can a child mimic body parts' names, but you can have them choose which color eyes, what type/color of shoes, and more, as well as, practice words like "push," "on, " and "off." Remember, your child is learning these words long before he or she can actually say them!

Cute book -- and I LOVE Mr. Potato Head!!! That is the one toy we DON'T have!
We love to use our Mr. Potato head to make lots of silly faces. I never thought about using it for speech. I'll have to work on that with my littlest guy.
