A GREAT Resource for Infant/Toddler Teachers

I ordered this book when I started teaching in an infant/toddler classroom. Despite my five years of college, I had little knowledge on what these little guys could do. This book has been an AWESOME resource. I love how the lessons are separated by age groups. It provides detailed explanations as well as additional information on why and how each activity is developmentally appropriate. Of the several books I ordered, this one is most professional and designed for teachers. I highly recommend it!

Great book for mothers and teachers

This is one of the best books that I have found for infants and toddlers. I really like the way that they not only break down the ages but also the developmental areas. The book makes it very easy to make lesson plans but it also makes it easy to pick out activties to do with your young child. These authors have done a wonderful job with this book and also the Creavtive Resources book for 3-5 year olds. I had the 3-5 year version along with others resource books that were made available to my teachers in a child care setting to use for making lesson plans and Creative Resources was the one that was used most often.

You can't go wrong with any book by Judy Herr

All of her books are terrific. And while they may seem like they're exclusively for early childhood educators, they're not. Parents can get a lot out of them, too. I know I do.

Every toddler teachers must have book

This book is great for infant and toddlers. This book breaks down activites into developmental stages. That way you are not planning an activity that is not developmentally inappropriate for children.

Great for Infants and Toddlers!

This book has been a wonderful tool for our infant and toddler program. It gives the break-down for the different developmental areas for these children. It provides wonderful goals and activities to help enhance the skills of the kids. Our caregivers found it irreplaceable to reach milestones for appropriate age groups. Regardless of where my teaching career takes me I will maintain a copy of this book in every center/program I work.
