Summary: great ideas
Review: I have been a preschool teacher for thirteen years and have two children of my own. This book by Peggy Epstein has great ideas. This book has exactly what today's children are craving. They don't need the latest toy or video out on the market. what children need is time with the people that they love. This book has lots of ideas that don't cost any money and has little preparation time. Give this book to anyone that wants to connect with a child. Open any page and you will find ways to interact with your child, grandchild, neighbor or friend who needs five minutes of uninterupted time with you. I highly recommend this book.

Review: I have been a preschool teacher for thirteen years now. I have seen chilren change alot in those years. What children need is in this book by Peggy Epstein. They don't need the latest toy or video on the market. What children need is their parents, grandparents and friends time. This book has great ideas both old and new to help people with their children. I have used several of Mrs. Epstein's ideas in my classroom. Many of the ideas made me think of my own childhood and things that my mother did with me. As this world get more and mroe crazy, this is what children are craving - easy, calm, little or no expense involved playtime. I would suggest that every grandparent and parent get this book and spend some time with a child.

Summary: A delightful book ~ wonderful ideas for fun activitities!
Review: I LOVE this delightful little book! But don't let the title mislead you, "Great Ideas for Grandkids! 150 Ways to Entertain, Educate, and Enjoy" is for ANYONE who likes to have fun with children (i.e., educators, new parents, aunts and uncles, care givers, home school, etc.). This book is full of GREAT fun and easy-to-do activities to amuse both young and old. It has lots of wonderful ideas of things to do, and most use simple props easily found at home or school. Additionally, it would make a great inexpensive gift for school teachers, especially elementary school ~ and the timing is PERFECT, the school semester is almost over. This book really does inspire readers to have fun!
