This is more ABOUT kids than FOR them. Please Touch is an age appropriate guide to nurturing curiosity and creativity in children. It suggests developmentally appropriate activities for each age and stage from infancy through early childhood. I especially appreciated the age specific charts that summarized children's abilities and needs in areas from large and small motor skills to music to drawing to just about everything!

I STRONGLY recommend it for first time parents or for any who wish to come up with "fresh" ideas for what to do with little ones! I have referred to it many times over the years.

This is an older book about attachment parenting and helping your child develop creativity. Though times have changed a bit since it was written, it's still a good resource.
