Book Reviews of The Toddlers Busy Book: 365 Creative Games and Activities to Keep Your 1 1/2- to 3-Year-Old Busy

Book Review: Very plain
Summary: 2 Stars

I am a preschool teacher and was very disappointed with this book. It is very plain. Unless you have never been a mom, ever baby sat and never around kids in your life you know almost everything in this book. The author seemed to really be stretching with coming up with 365 ideas. Really...as a mom you should know that kids like to paint, color, etc. Do we really need a book for that? I gave it two stars because their were a few crafts I thought were neat but nothing I probably couldn't have found by doing a search on google. And the worst is there were no pictures what so ever. I returned the book..not even worth my $10.

Summary of The Toddlers Busy Book: 365 Creative Games and Activities to Keep Your 1 1/2- to 3-Year-Old Busy

365 fun, creative activities to stimulate your toddler every day of the year.

This book contains 365 activities (one for each day of the year) for one-and-a-half to three-year-olds using things found around the home. It shows parents and day-care providers how to:

  • Prevent boredom during the longest stretches of indoor weather with ideas for indoor play, kitchen activities, and arts and crafts projects.
  • Stimulate a child's natural curiosity with entertaining math, language, and motor-skills activities.
  • Encourage a child's physical, mental, and emotional growth with ideas for fun music, food, water, and outdoor activities.
  • Keep toddlers occupied during long car trips or cross-town errands.
  • The Toddler's Busy Book is written with warmth and sprinkled with humor and insight. It should be required reading for anyone raising or teaching toddlers.
