Help! There's a Toddler in My House!

Rating:
Summary: great book--great fun
Review: Being a stay-at-home mom can get pretty challeging. Can anyone else recite Goodnight Moon in their sleep? I thought this book was very inventive and most of all fun. It gave practical ideas for lots of activities for toddlers to enjoy in different areas of the house. Anyone with small children will enjoy and benefit from this book. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Many fun activities
Review: The book is broken down into 5 sections of the house, each with varying activities to do with your toddler in that area of the house. The activities are easy to follow, fun, and each one contains a MATERIALS list to describe what is needed for that activity. Most activities can be set up in 10 minutes or less. Even though some of the activities I had already known about, this book gave me variations on many of those, and many more that sounded fun and easy to set up. You can tell just by looking at the cover how much fun it is going to be!

Summary: Ready, Set, A Variety of Different Actions!
Review: This is really a needed resource for every toddler parent who wants to create fun for her or his child in any possible setting in different ways.

I found that a lot of the activities were variations of things I did actively and Nancy Kelly's ideas and specific suggestions will increase my effectiveness.

Some of the especially cleaveer and useful include the Origami, Milk Viola and with my son who loves tossing and sorting and categorizing will love the increased intentionality with this book.
