 For any Stay at Home Cheap Slacker Mom |

We started using this when he was 18 months old, and are still using it as he nears four.
The strength of this book is in the simplicity of the activities and the ability to use items you have on hand. We never tire of the grocery bag kite. With little attention spans, you don't want to spend a lot of time on prep. It's not a fancy laid out book. The type is large, and the explanations short.
Then there are activities that require some initial purchases of stuff like clear contact paper. (At the beginning of the book she has two lists, one for common household items, and one for craft items). Just to be different, I spent several weeks making a particular fabric matching game, a minute here, a minute there...in the end, we didn't play it much.
Some weaknesses were the index, based on title of activity, not necessarily the items used. The craft and kitchen chapters were little used, since I had an active boy, and a food-allergic one at that. |
lots of good ideas

| This is a fun book for stay-at-home moms, who have pulled out every trick in their hat (at least 10 times) or just for people who are looking for activities to do with the youngsters. The activities are easy to prepare for and some kept my daughter entertained for a long while. Make sure you stock up on supplies ahead of time though! |
