Not really what I was looking for. But check out for colors for books to read.

This book has been a wonderful resource for helping me plan an enriched learning environment for my toddler. Like others have stated, this book is geared towards a classroom setting; however, the structure is exactly what I was looking for (it satisfies the teacher inside of me). The author incorporates many fun activities (some you may already be doing with your little one- play dough, finger painting, songs) and organizes them into small units that enhance learning of various themes within several developmental areas. I find the activities easily adaptable to my son's abilities and I appreciate the author's emphasis on problem solving and language acquisition. The list of books for each theme is also helpful.

Has a lot of information on activities to both teach and keep toddlers busy. It really is set up as a classroom book though and I was looking for something for me and my toddler. Some of the ideas I was able to use but a lot were either larger projects to set up or group activities.
