There's nothing like snuggling up with my kids and reading a good picture book, seeing their eyes light up and getting lost in the stories. One book that comes to mind is 'The Day War Came' by Nicola Davies. It has such a powerful anti-war message, illustrated so beautifully. Reading it as the world is sadly experiencing so many conflicts makes it even more relevant and poignant.

My son also loves his weekly playdates with his friend who's into the same cars and trains toys. The little engineering genius comes alive when they plan tracks and build bridges. It's sweet to see them so engaged in their little world, and I'm sure their imaginations are developing through these make-believe scenarios.

I agree that books and toys are awesome tools for learning; they're such a great way to introduce concepts to young kids. My daughter has this cool magnetic human body puzzle that teaches her about the different organs and their functions. She loves putting it together and taking it apart, and I'm amazed at how it's helped her understand simple anatomy.

With toys and books, there's always something new to discover and explore!
