Mommy is someone who is with a child from the moment they open their eyes. We celebrate the bond and love every year through Mother’s day. But, we can share hugs and kisses with our kids every day! Here are some of the best Mother’s day board books to read aloud to babies and toddlers daily!
When children are still babies and toddlers, they get to spend the most of their days with their moms. From opening their eyes in the morning to closing their eyes in the evening, there are many moments when mom and baby share hugs, kisses and words of love. All of the books here celebrate these precious moments of unconditional love.
THE BEST MOTHER’S DAY BOARD BOOKS TO READ ALOUD
Like with our other board book recommendations, our selection of Mother’s day board books for under 3 year old kids is based on one (or more, if we are lucky) things:
- short books with few pages since toddlers have a short attention span
- chunky and durable books to endure rough toddlers
- books with lovely and vivid illustrations
