helpful

Good book, was helpful for those off days when I was drawing a blank :)

Even more creativity than the first book

This book includes many more exciting activities to play with your toddler. While my daughter does a lot of exciting activities at day care, it gives me an opportunity to have some creative time with her in the evenings and weekends. This book is wonderful in giving her uncreative mother a head start in coming up with ideas for her to do.

Requires few "accessories" - good to keep on hand

This book mainly contains activities and games that don't require a lot of props. Or if a game requires a prop, the materials are usually already in the house. We loved the balance beam game and made our own out of a 2x4 laid across two books. Our toddler learned balance and increased her confidence. I like the book categories - can easily find a "type" of game. I also like that the book is additionally sorted by age.This definitely is not an arts and crafts book; if you're looking for a variety of artsy things to do with your child, this is not the book to buy. But, I have plenty of those books and was happy to find a book that my husband could thumb through and pick an activity without having to make a shopping trip.Also nice to leave out for babysitters or visiting relatives, to help them interact with the baby - and to help the baby get used to them.

A great reference of fun, easy activities for toddlers.

This book includes all types of fun games and activities to do with young children. The suggestions are easy to do and don't require special equipment. She has conveniently categorized the games by age and type (e.g. outside games or car games), and at the bottom of the page is an explanation of what the toddler will learn. It's been a great reference and has given me new ideas of things to do with my son.
