This book is an activity list of fun and simple things to do with little kids.  It is organized by a child’s age and has “lessons” that incorporate cognitive, motor, social-emotional, language and self-esteem elements of development.  The book stresses interaction with parents and hands-on learning rather than using devices or technology. Each activity is fully described, background information given as well as why it is important to development.  Each age range section also includes a list of basic developmental milestones for caregivers to reference and work toward. Most of the activities need only a few common materials found around the house. There are lots of good, engaging activities to keep little ones happy and learning. (Written by Michele Neely, SpEd preschool teacher for the Olympia School District)
