Babies and toddlers Storytelling (0-3 years old)

The first years of life are very important for the development of the person, intellectual and affectively. The tale either told or read help development baby's brain neurons. The tale helps the baby to acquire vocabulary, to awaken the imagination and the senses. When parents tell the baby a story creates an intimate moment, where the baby feels love. I provide ideas to tell stories to babies from my long experience as a storyteller.
