Board books are ideal to read together especially when your baby goes through the phase of putting everything in their mouth. So here we go our Favourite Christmas Board Books to read together with your baby or young toddler.

Character and Classic Christmas Board Books for Babies and Young Toddlers
Characters and classics are always popular for Christmas Books. One of the first we bought for our baby was a Nativity Book. I really wanted them to understand why we celebrated Christmas. Yes it’s a holiday and it’s fun but there is a historical reason and religious reason we do.
More Christmas Books for Babies
Although board books are great to read with your babies and toddlers, you will find that you only spend a couple of years reading them and need to move on. I think we had the top 2 books and then borrowed others from the library but we did start to collect other Christmas Books that even now we have tweens we still enjoy reading together. Check out our selection of Christmas Books for Toddlers for some ideas that you and they will enjoy together in the coming years.
