Fun ideas

This book has terrific fun ideas for toddlers. It has many of the rhymes and songs that every child (and parent!) should know. We consider ourselves remedial parents and found this book to be quite helpful! Now we're WOWWING other parents with our rendition of "The Noble Duke of York."

Play a New Game a Day with Your Toddler

This book is excellent. It is filled with some great games, songs and finger-rhymes. There are plenty of things you can do with what you have around the house.I have an active 16-month old son and I try to pick a new thing every couple days for us to do together. It's a great book!

Lots of games to play with your toddler

Over 100 activities for toddlers along with some fingerplays. The book tells you what activities enhances what skills like creativity, gross motor skills, fine motor skills etc.

A book full of fun and learning.

Filled to the brim with lively, full-color photographs, this book will teach you not only how to play, but why children need to play. The activities presented are for the 12-month to 30-month age bracket and have games for developing language, motor, and sensory skills. There are art, sports, and imagination activities that will be fun for both you and your child to get involved in. An added bonus is that my 30-month old daughter loves to look at the pictures of kids that are on almost every page and she will "read" along with me as I sing some of the fingerplay songs that are shown. You can't go wrong with this jam-packed book for games that will occupy and educate your child!

Excellent book!

This book is full of great ideas! Your toddler will even like to look at the book while you get ideas for games to play with them. There are a lot of pictures of children and their parents playing. My daughter loves to look at them. It teaches many songs and hand/body motions to go with them. My daughter loves these and I am sure your child will also. You will not be disappointed with this one!
