Little Walks Big Adventures: 50+ Ideas for Exploring with Toddlers by Erin Buhr, MEd

This book views venturing out into the world as the purest form of hands-on learning for young children (3 years and younger) as it provides so many opportunities for language, reasoning and exploration.  The book is divided into 4 main sections: Home & Community, Vehicles, Animals, and Our World. There are over 50 different “adventures” included, and each has a 1-3 activities to do afterwards that might be art, math, pretend play, sensory play, science observations or songs.  The “adventures” listed are all toddler fun; most are free and easily accessible in everyday life. The activities listed have a clear description of supplies needed and are fun and engaging. Simple book, with lots of fun activities to get the toddler out of the house. (written by Michele Neely, SpEd Preschool teacher in the Olympia School District)
