Making Me: The Activity Book for My Big Brother or Sister

You may be excited, surprised, and just maybe a little bit anxious on how to tell the Big Brother or Big Sister there will be a new baby soon.

No worries! Finally there's a book that truly involves the older sibling in mom's pregnancy and can help them form an emotional bond even before the baby is  born.

Each day, the unborn baby "talks" to the sibling and describes the developmental changes happening, then gives them a related activity to do.  Each activity is quick, easy, and fun, such as coloring, counting, measuring, journaling, and more.

Involving the older sibling in the process can create excitement and love for the new family member.

Most big brother or sister books are geared toward the toddler. Making Me: the Pregnancy Activity Book for My Big Brother or Sister is specifically designed for the 4 to 10 year old sibling. This is the only book that gives the sibling something to do every day of the pregnancy.  

Just read one page each day of the pregnancy, or combine pages and do it as a fun routine once a week. 

Each page contains:

• A place to write in today's date
• A bit of information on what is happening to the baby today - all written 'from' the baby to the big brother or sister
• A simple, related activity for the sibling to do (color, measure, count, journal, etc.)
• A racetrack to visually count down the days to mom's due date

Bonus features Include:

• 4 colored pencils to help the sibling write, color, and draw
• The 24-inch "Mighty Measuring Tape" to track how big baby has grown
• 286 pages (1 page per day of pregnancy) 

Perfect for large families, blended families, or any family with a 4+ year difference in their children's ages. Many grandparents also find it a fun activity to do with their grandchildren.
