The Preschooler's Busy Book

I have reviewed this book on one of my other blogs before, so if you follow both, sorry for the repeat. The The Preschooler's Busy Book,by Trish Kuffner, is a wonderful book full of fun ideas to do with your preschool age children.

The Preschooler's Busy Book also has 365 learning games and activities. It is for the age range 3-6 years old. Here is a list of the activities found in this book:

• Tips for planning activities
• Rainy Day Activities
• Kids in the Kitchen: This chapter has a lot of recipes that are easy to make with kids.
• Outdoor Adventures
• Out and About: This chapter has good ideas for things to do while driving in the car. I think this is great because you can do things that developmentally help your child rather than just turning the DVD player on.
• Reading, Writing, 'Rithmetic, and More: This chapter has reading readiness, math, geography, and basic botany.
• Music, Dance, and Drama: This chapter has ideas for music and rhythm, movement and dance, and dramatic play.
• Arts and Crafts: including drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpting, paper-mache, and crafts
• Birthdays and Holidays
• Recipes: Recipes for paint, finger paint, playdough, clay, glue, paste, and more.
• Gifts: Gifts ideas your preschooler can make
• Books: Good books for children in this age range

I really like this book. It is so inexpensive and has so many ideas. The activities are easy to do and inexpensive to implement (most are free).
