The busy book for toddlers June 22, 2010
Erin M. Spray (Lima, Ohio)
I work at a daycare and work with young toddlers. I have had many great ideas come from this book. I take the ideas in the book and then see what the children do with them. I usually will go with the flow of what the children want to do so sometimes it doesn't turn out like the book says but it is still great to see what the children do with the ideas. I recommend this book to any Young Toddler teacher. It helps out alot.
 Didn't find as useful as I hoped May 18, 2010

I didn't find this as useful as I hoped when I ordered it. If you are a stay at home parent I could definitely see the uses for this. My daughter is in daycare during the week and I found that many of the activities are repeats of what they're already doing there. The other drawback is that a lot of the activities require materials that I don't have lying around the house. None of the materials are expensive, but for my situation I didn't think it was worth investing too much money in.
 this author must have been desperate to meet her deadline April 17, 2010
seltzer (Boston, MA)
This book really sucks. All of the other 1-star reviewers are right: this woman has no imagination. It doesn't take a genius--or a person with a borderline retarded IQ, for that matter--to come up with the majority of these "ideas." If you have any memory of once being a child yourself then you can come up with these activities on your own. My kid already knows how to do the obvious stuff, without my assistance, such as playing with empty boxes, using a paper towel roll as a trumpet, etc. She and I were looking for some new ideas...
Great Ideas for activities to do WITH your toddler April 8, 2010
Cold Girl (Lawrence, Kansas)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I got this book thinking it was full of ideas that would keep my super active 23 month old daughter busy for a while. The ideas in this book are great activities that you can do WITH your child, not so much things that will keep them busy. I give it 4 stars because I felt like the book purported to be something it wasn't. With that said, I absolutely LOVE it anyway because:
1. I do want to spend time with my daughter, but I find that I can't come up with ideas for stimulating activities on my own. I spend about an hour more playing with her than I used to (yes, at the expense of a few household chores, but it seems worth it when you are seeing them learn new things).
2. With this book I am discovering that she is ready and willing to learn lots of things I hadn't supposed she would be able to (somersaults, colors, and more) at this age.
3. I can customize many of these activities to her special interests which makes her enjoy them more.
Somethings that have been disappointing:
1. The book says you do these activities with items found around the house, but I find that I need to buy lots of random things in order to have necessary supplies. That said, there are some things you can do without buying anything at all.
2. My daughter looses interest in the activities within a few minutes in most cases- although she has been excited about a few for several hours.
 Great book March 22, 2010
G. Zuniga (Brooklyn, NY USA)
It got me through winter with a two-year old and a newborn while living in a five-floor walk-up in Brooklyn NY. It's a good book.
