Child's Play Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I spend every Saturday with my 3 nephews. One is 6, the others are two 3-year old twins. This book has saved my life! So many times the kids have been over and I haven't had any idea of how to keep them occupied! Since about January of this year, I've been using "200 Instant Crafts" as an instant sources of great craft ideas. The best part is how inexpensive the crafts are to make. I really do have most of the stuff around the house. The guidelines that tell me for what age the craft is appropriate have been an immense help to me. I had no idea what a 3 year old could and couldn't do as opposed to the 6 year old. Using these guidelines keeps me from asking the kids to do something they aren't ready to do. I'll be using this book all Summer! Thanks.

Baby Days: Activities, Ideas, and Games for Enjoying Daily Life with a Child Under Three Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Baby Days is a record of the author's life with her daughter Anna during their first three years together. Barbara Rowley has made a career out of devising great ways to have fun with kids. The terrific thing about this book is that it's organized by type of activity and age. What harried parent hasn't thought, "oh sure, finger painting is wonderful, but what I really need is something to keep her busy while I'm cooking dinner." That's where Baby Days comes in. There are chapters for leisurely morning activities, meal and naptime ideas, and even sections on what to do in the car or on the plane. Each chapter's activities are also grouped by age, so it's easy to find something that will work for you and your child. Add to that the "prep time" and "messiness quotient" listings and you've got a recipe for success! Best of all, many of the activities only require a little energy and imagination or items usually found around the house. There's truly something here for everyone. This book inspired me to set up a reading nook (it's SO much more fun to read in a tent while lounging on pillows!) create a special hideaway and an activity box and put together a craft cupboard, among many other things, big and small. If those long days at home have got you down, it's time to get out of the baby daze and get this book!

Berenstain Baby Bears My Trusty Car Seat Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I really like to read this book to my little sister, Julianna. She likes it, too. Her favorite part is when he goes to his Grandma and Grandpa's house. She likes to read it to herself, she knows all of the words and "reads" along with me, but sometimes she takes it away from me when I'm reading it to her because she likes it so much! My family likes to hear her say the car seat has a "ticky pot or two". It is one of her favorite books! The end. Elizabeth
