Discovering Words Together: A Review of First 100 Stickers: Words
As a mom of three energetic little ones, I find First 100 Stickers: Words by Roger Priddy to be a delightful remedy for our chaotic afternoons. Just the other day, I was caught in the midst of a toy tornado when my youngest, Molly, plopped down beside me with a bewildered look. “Mommy, what’s that big furry thing?” she exclaimed, pointing at our dog lounging on the carpet. It struck me then that we could use a little language enrichment, and what better way than through the magic of colorful stickers?
This book comes bursting with more than 500 vibrant stickers, organized into categories like farm animals, toys, and things that go—basically all the things that light up my kids’ imaginations. Each page is filled with bright, bold pictures that capture their attention instantly. I absolutely love that it encourages toddlers to develop their vocabulary and early literacy skills, cleverly merging learning with play.
The interactive element here—matching stickers to the correct spaces—is a huge hit in our house. I found myself sitting down with my kids, and we embarked on a sticker scavenger hunt together. It was fascinating to see how each of my children responded differently. My oldest, Jake, raced through the pages, confidently identifying everything from "tractor" to "puppy," while my middle child, Lily, took a more thoughtful approach. She lingered on each page, asking questions about the words and pictures, which sparked a lovely conversation about animals and the sounds they make.
The illustrations are wonderfully engaging; they truly bring the words to life. I appreciate the clear font, making it easy for Milo, my youngest, to point at the words as we read them together. The excitement in his eyes when he found the sticker for “car” and placed it correctly was priceless. My little one is still learning about the world around him, so this book felt like a bridge to new experiences—we all had fun navigating the vivid vocabulary on each page.
Funny enough, we had a delightful moment when Jake, trying to be helpful, pulled out a sticker of a horse and unexpectedly placed it on the dog instead. “Now he’s a horsey dog!” he declared with a giggle.
I can honestly say First 100 Stickers: Words is not just a one-time read; it’s become a go-to activity for our family. It’s perfect for children aged three and up and has something for every little personality—whether they are ready to dive into learning or just enjoy playful exploration. If you’re looking for a way to inspire a love for words and get a little interactive fun in at home, I highly recommend this book.
As I close this chat, I’m reminded why reading together is such a treasure. Beyond learning, it’s these sweet moments of connection—and the laughter that comes with a little sticker mischief—that make parenting so rewarding.
