A great way to get toddlers excited about reading is to make reading books fun! These two nursery rhyme sets are the perfect start to their reading adventure. I know that I sang “The Wheels on the Bus” and “Old MacDonald Had a Farm” to our kids and we had books that went along with the nursery rhyme as well. In fact, those were probably the first two nursery rhymes they learned.

These two book sets include a mini board book, a wooden vehicle (bus or tractor) and a plastic play mat. While you are reading (or singing) the rhyme to your toddler, they can drive the tractor along the road visiting the animals on the mat or drive through town with the bus.

The set comes in a carrying case with a handle. So these would be perfect for traveling. The playmat is approximately 22 x 17 inches and folds up nicely into the carrying case.

 
As you can see in the photos the vehicles and the books are perfectly sized for toddler’s little hands. They can hold the book by themselves and the vehicle without any difficulty. The words of the chorus are bolded in the books to make them stand out more. Children will have fun acting out the verses in the book with their very own playset.

If you have toddlers on your gift list, then I would recommend these reading playsets for them.
