Excellent resource for parents

I found it quite simplistic. It does have good ideas for playing and it addresses the importance of play in children's development.
Simple, Yet Nice
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This is a simple compilation of toddler or children's activities, presented by Fred Rogers, of television's Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. Most of the activities can be done using things you really can find around your house; not expensive craft supplies that you have to go out and buy. I wasn't so much impressed with the originality of the ideas; however, the organization and simplicity with which the ideas are presented is superb. There are sections on sharing/caring, pretend play, helping, things that go, feelings, creative fun, nature and science. Each activity page includes a list of things you'll need, steps for setting up and participating in the activity and what your child is working on developmentally by doing the activity; extra tips are included on many pages, as well. A helpful list of household things to save (instead of throwing out) for use in play activities is also included in the back of the book. This is a great book, and although we've only tried a few of the many activities so far, my kids and I really like this book.
