This is a nice little book that is easy to flip through to find simple little activities and games to play with your toddler. I can't think of any that required materials other than stuff I already had. Most of the activities are simply songs, word games, and ideas for identifying and grouping objects. All of the games for young toddlers are designed to be only a minute or two. They become more structured for the child's age. I really liked this little book and plan to use many of its ideas.

This book is full of fun and simple games that can be done with children that are 1-3 years of age. Each activity is meant to help simulate the child's brain. There are lots of wonderful ideas that I plan to try with my kids. I also liked the little bits of information about what brain research says that accompanies each activity.

Ένα βιβλίο ωραίο και απλό που βοηθάει τους γονείς να ασχοληθούν δημιουργικά με το νήπιο τους. Μου φάνηκε πολύ χρήσιμο και έκανα τις περισσότερες δραστηριότητες.

I liked it! Some of the games are kind of obvious but a lot of them I wouldn't have thought of and Claire has enjoyed a few of them. I checked it out because we are going stir crazy indoors all day in this cold weather! About 1/3 of the games were too advanced for Claire but a lot of them she enjoys, so if you are looking for something to do I'd get it our check it out.

Great book for ideas on what to do with your little one.

Good ideas for fingerplays and games to play with toddlers. It is designed more for parents working with a child, but some activities would definitely work in a group.

There were a few good ideas in this book, and I liked how it briefly mentioned research done on child development. Ultimately, it was a simple list of basic ideas.

Jumped to 18 month old section, I can't believe this book got published, the activities were common sense

Pensaba que los ejercicios que me iba a encontrar aquí iban a ser algo más enrevesados. Pero no. Además algunos de ellos parece que se patinaban en la edad para la que estaban dirigidos.

Some really great ideas for my 2 year old! I can't wait to try them out. 4/5
