Customer Reviews

haven't used it much

I haven't used it much, but it seems well organized and packed full of ideas. It arrived in nice condidtion.

Lots of wonderful activities for your preschooler

This book contains lots of wonderful activities to keep your preschooler or preschool class busy learning. The activities are grouped into sections based on what skill or topic they most relate to (ie fine motor skills, large motor skills, developing an interest in science, language skills, critical thinking). Each section is loaded with hands on active learning activities geared for preschoolers. Most of the supplies needed are items you will have around the house and are about ready to pitch. My personal favorite is the "Is the cup full" experiment. I use these with my kids at home. There are some activities that are geared for larger groups but most can be done individually. Whether you are an early childhood educator or a mom looking for quick activities to keep your young child busy, I would recommend this book.

Excellent Teacher Resource

Easy to use lesson plans with out all the searching. The kids loved it!

For those of us who draw a blank ...........

This book is absolutely wonderful. I bought it for homeschooling my youngest child and I really liked it. It has all the ideas u will ever need as well as what u need to do the things it suggests. There are many games to play and stories to go with the ideas presented. If you follow this book u will not need another.
