The Toddler's Busy Book is written with warmth and sprinkled with humor and insight. It should be required reading for anyone raising or teaching toddlers. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Toddlers can actually DO this stuff!I appreciate this book because it's full of ideas that are actually for twos and threes! Most "toddler and preschool" activity books I've found are over a toddler's head, but not this one. We love all the different ideas.....some are worth hours of play and some just 5 minutes, but the book is full of great ideas! My 2 yr old has had so much fun with all the activities I've pulled out of this book. It's saved me on rainy days! Rating:  - not that usefulMost of the suggestions in this book were not useful to me. Many of them were totally obvious. First, quite a few were different versions of "make a box of toys for a rainy day", or different versions of "gather kitchen tools, tupperware, pots and pans". Second, a lot of the activities take a lot of time to prepare and then keep the kid entertain for just a couple of minutes. Third, some suggestions are just home-made versions of very cheap toys that I just rather buy than spend so much effort ... Read More Rating: - GREAT, Fun IdeasI love this book! I just pulled it out again because my 21-month-old daughter and I have gotten into a little bit of a rut. There's been a lot more TV time than I like. Going through here again to pick out some activities, I've noticed so many new things she wouldn't have enjoyed or understood when I bought this book several months ago. Things I dismissed at the time for this reason will now be perfect for her age and current interests. That's the best thing about "The Toddler's Busy Book." There ... Read More Rating: - Cute everyday ideas for MomsAs a fulltime nanny, this book was a good idea to purchase for new ideas for art, music, and waterplay. A lot of the ideas in the book are simple solutions for full-time mothers, so I have to disregard a big portion of the book. There are tons of different cute ideas though that I just can't use at the moment (For things like bedtime, cooking, etc) but I will hold onto for when I am a mother. I've been playing a lot of little games from this book with the toddler I work with everyday using different ... Read More Rating: - Worth the $10.00 InvestmentAs some people have said in the 1-3 star reviews, many of the ideas in this book are no-brainers we could have come up with on our own. I cannot deny that fact, and yet I must say 'kudos!' to the authoress for writing the ideas down and earning an income for her brood as a result! That said, I loved the book. I checked it out at our library and my severe impulse to underline things and fold down pages caused me to realize that I must buy a copy. And as for being able to come up with the ideas on my own, ... Read More |
