About this book
Board books full of close-up baby faces are irresistible at this age — babies are hard-wired to study faces, and pointing out a smile, a surprised mouth, or wide eyes gives you an easy, natural way to start naming emotions long before your baby can name their own.
How to do it (Step by step)
- Sit baby on your lap with a face-focused board book.
- Point to each face and name the expression — 'happy!', 'surprised!'
- Make the same expression yourself and see if they copy you.
