There are several interesting ideas that I used during the course of my reading. My kid is 2.5 years but I could already use some ideas from the 3 year and 4 year activities . Easy to follow crisp instructions and activities classified according to age makes this is a very useful book. Must refer for beginner homeschooling moms . I wish there was a section for children below 2 as well.

Activities for fine motor skills for different ages (toddlers). I don't like that they don't have pictures for each activity as I like to see things visually.

Simple, clear layout with one activity per page. I found several good ideas -- I would recommend this as activities for preschool to kindergarten age children.
