As a father of a young children I am always trying to find new and creative ways to help my girls learn and grow. This book is filled with great activities that help children work on the skills that they need to be successful once they start school. I loved the fact that the materials required for the activities are inexpensive and much of the time things that you would already have around the house!
One thing that I would have wished that the book had was color photos of what some of the activities would look like, but there are some images within the book (more graphic based than picture based) that do help as well!
This book is a great addition to any family and will add many new activities that will bring smiles to the home and learning to your children!
If this book sounds like something you would like in your own home you can find it on Amazon!
