An interactive celebration of toddlers’ curiosity and independence with playful sliders, lift-the-flaps, and touch-and-feel textures. Written and designed with the pediatric experts at Mayo Clinic.
Let’s Explore! is a delightful journey through the world of toddler discovery, designed for children ages 12 to 18 months. Co-written by Mayo Clinic pediatrician Dr. Angela Mattke, this board book is designed to support both toddlers and their grownups through relatable scenes and gentle guidance.
Whether it’s climbing onto a chair at the doctor’s office, pointing to body parts, or choosing a sticker for being brave, each page encourages exploration, confidence, and connection. With simple language and colorful illustrations, Let’s Explore! helps caregivers recognize and celebrate key developmental milestones in a toddler’s everyday world.
- Milestones featured in the book include:
- Climbing onto furniture
- Pointing to objects
- Recognizing names of familiar body parts
- Exploring objects in different ways (shaking, banging, throwing, dropping)
- Pushing and pulling objects using hands
- Using simple words such as “uh-oh” and “mama”
Expert insights gently guide parents while celebrating each child’s unique pace of growth.
Backed by trusted Mayo Clinic expertise, the Healthy Milestones series combines playful sliders, lift-the-flaps, and touch-and-feel textures to support early learning and connection. These interactive board books turn everyday moments into opportunities for exploration, language, movement, and bonding between little ones and their grownups.
