How to help your toddler love reading!

How to help your toddler love reading books

How do you get a toddler to love books? Or enjoy looking at them? How do you introduce toddlers to books? Or sit still for longer than 3 seconds? Let's share some easy ways to help your toddler fall in love with reading.

It's no secret that I am a bookworm. Before having Jensen, I'd read over 100 books each and every year without fail (let's not talk about how many i've had time to read post-Jensen) and it seems that perhaps that bookworm trait is genetic because I know have a little bookworm of my own. 

However, every time I post a photo or video of Jensen reading books on Instagram, I get a bunch of messages from other toddler Mums asking how I've gotten him to read/like/be interested in books.... and to be honest, it hasn't ever really been a conscious thing I've taught him, but there are quite a few things we do that have helped that.

So let's chat all things toddlers and books >>

Recipe: BLW Banana French Toast (Gluten Free and Added Sugar Free)

Baby Led Weaning Banana French Toast Sticks Recipe Gluten Free - Easy baby and toddler breakfast ideas

Perfect for babies and toddlers, this BLW Banana French Toast Sticks Recipe is gluten free, quick, easy, healthy, refined sugar free and absolutely delicious!

Before you go thinking I'm some kind of super mama that is baking french toast first thing in the morning, think again.... because this is one of my go-to meal prep recipes to have as a quick breakfast (or lunch!) option for Jensen.

If you've got time/energy in the morning, it's simple enough to make right away - but if you're like me and don't, it's the perfect meal prep recipe to make, freeze and reheat. 

These Banana French Toast are one of Jensen's favourite breakfast options - and were especially a hit when he first started solids as he loved feeding hinself. 

Served up with some yogurt and nut butter, it's a delicious easy breakfast with some added nutrients from flaxseeds and hemp seeds. Of course, when you're first starting solids be sure to try all of the different allergens separately, as this recipe combines many of the major allergens.

It’s no secret that back to school expenses can add up quickly. 


You’ve got uniforms, shoes, books, lunchboxes, drink bottles, school fees, hair cuts, grocery bills to restock the pantry.


So naturally, when ALDI asked if I would help create some Back to School Inso for them, I knew I had to come up with some simple back to school recipes that were quick, easy, kid friendly and budget friendly too.
