Skimmed through this book from the library. Tons of great ideas. Nothing mind-blowing or unheard of, but it's nice to have to all compiled in one place, and I like the added Bible verses and discussion starters for most activities. I will be referring to this book again in the future.

Even though it is an older book, the activities are still super relevant and fun for today! Perfect for all ages in a family. A good book for dads, moms, grandparents, or any sort of babysitter!
