 Written on December 18, 2007 Summary: It's an OK book This book is a bit outdated but it offers some great suggestions for playtime. However, I am not sure if it's worth the money. Written on September 13, 2007 Summary: It's OK This is a nice book to sit and flip through to get your head around what to do with a toddler - beyond reading , going for walks and all the usual. I found that most of the activities didn't appeal to me as-is. Some required preparation that was a craft project in itself, involving long hours of gluing, cutting, pasting. Others are ok for a ten-minute thing but get old (say, batting balloons around). So I used the book as an inspiration for my own ideas. Also, I found that many activities are oriented toward entertaining the toddler. I like the approach of engaging them in a developmental activity that they could pursue and enjoy independently once they get the hang of it. My favorite books tend to be like Montessori Play And Learn. Even though that one focuses on a slightly higher age group, I found many more activities there that were appropriate for my 18-mo-old than the Toddler Busy Book. Written on July 19, 2007 Summary: Lots Of Ideas for Fun Not the best in the world, I am sure, but its not a bad book either. We, as a creative family, keep many of the suggested items on hand (and I would recommend that anyone with small children keep a storage area filled with craft supplies), so it was nice to have some ideas of what to do with my 2 year old. While some of the ideas ARE very basic, sometimes the brain of a frazzled parent needs a jump start, and while you may say "well duh" after reading it, it might not be something you would have thought of right off to begin with. We have enjoyed lots of activites with this book, and while its not arranged by age groups, parents should be somewhat aware of what their child as an individual will be able to do/enjoy. If you have a two year old who likes to put small objects in their mouth then dont do those activities-its that simple! But the amount of games and ideas are good for a variety of stages in your toddlers development and can be great spur of the moment activities. Written on May 8, 2007 Summary: Need some improvement The book suggest a lot of great ideas but I found it a little bit disorganized as the activities mentioned in the book are grouped under different categories but some of the activities good for a toddler of 3 while some of them are just suitable for a toddler of 1. I need to decide which are suitable for my little daughter.  Written on April 13, 2007 Summary: Terrible! I thought based on many of the reviews this book would be a creative fun way to help my toddler develop and flourish. It is TERRIBLE! Unimaginative. Literally, one of the activities is making a "noodle" necklace - not with macaroni, but here's the big twist - with ziti. What a waste of money - I could have enjoyed a couple of lattes. You will be sorely disappointed in this book if you have ANY resources (memories from childhood, TV, internet, half a brain...) |
