Handy Ideas for "Quality Time" with Toddlers & Preschoolers,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Toddler's Busy Book: 365 Creative Learning Games and Activities to Keep Your 11/2- To 3-Year-Old Busy (Paperback)
In the USA we generally refer to a child as being a "toddler" between the ages of 18 months and 3 years of age. However, my 5-year-old "preschooler" enjoys many of the activities in this book as well as his almost 2-year-old sister. I have learned that the best "gift" a parent can give a child is his/her undivided attention for a period of time. I have personally found that by spending one-on-one time with each of my children, even if only for 5-10 minutes one or two times a day, there is a positive change in the daily demeanor and degree of cooperation I get. They look forward to it. It's not that I can't think of things to do with my children, but on one of those really difficult days (I'm sure you know what I mean), it's a big help to glance quickly at some creative simple ideas to choose from. Also, this book comes in handy when a play-date becomes boring or unfriendly. When I am able to redirect the unhappy kids to the kitchen table for a "mommy supervised activity" from this book, the enthusiastic smiles almost always instantly return. When my daughter was born, and big brother's jealousy was on the rise, I used many ideas in this book for the much appreciated one-on-one time... "mommy/big brother time" -- without baby sister. Along with "The Toddler Busy Book", I also recommend another helpful little book filled with positive discipline suggestions for parents of 2-5 year-olds called "The Pocket Parent." I like the easy reference A-Z format of this trouble-shooting guide that addresses many of the most annoying behaviors that too often challenge my sanity. These two books have brought more peace to our family, more cooperation from our children, and more ways for us to enjoy one another.

review of busy book,
By A Reader (Rhode Island) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Toddler's Busy Book: 365 Creative Learning Games and Activities to Keep Your 11/2- To 3-Year-Old Busy (Paperback)
I disagree with the reviews written so far. I bought this book expecting to find activities to occupy my very active 23 month old. Maybe my child is already too old for some of the activities, but she was bored with many of them (and some took a good amount of time to put together). Some hits were recipes for homemade clay and play with jello. The book also needs organization by age.

Great Little Resource,

This review is from: The Toddler's Busy Book: 365 Creative Learning Games and Activities to Keep Your 11/2- To 3-Year-Old Busy (Paperback)
I've read every activity in this book (and tape-flagged all the ones I'm going to try) and I think this book is worth every penny. My young kids - 5, 3, and 1.5 - are all going to benefit from using this book. We've done a few of the activities already (kazoo, toddler pouch, and indoor sandbox), and have LOVED them!My only complaint is I wish there were more pictures of the activities. As a busy mom of three I found it was labour intensive to read through each activity, instead of just being able to flip though and look at the pictures of the activities to pick which one we'd like to do yk?
