Todays book as part of the Story Book Advent is The Little Christmas Elf and brought to you by Best Toys for Toddlers. The book The Little Christmas Elf is a delightful story of a the youngest littlest elf in Santa’s workshop who is finally old enough to help make the toys. She sets about making a teddy bear but as Santa heads of to deliver all of the present she is still finishing off her teddy bear missing it being taken on the sleigh to deliver to boys and girls around the world. However, all is not lost a baby is born and Santa returns to bring a gift from his workshop to the new baby and you can guess what toy is brought can’t you?
Bringing books alive through imaginative play has always been one of my kids favourite things to do and today Best Toys for Toddlers brings the book The Little Christmas Elf alive with handmade elves and some imaginative play ideas for kids to enjoy.
