Particularly helpful for home schooling and preschool children, this book is a collection of hands-on activities for young children using simple materials such as sticks, sponges, stickers, cups, pockets, gadgets, transparencies, and rings, each designed to build self-esteem and enhance the learning process. I am selling my copy for $10.

I really didn't find this book very useful. Some of the ideas are good but most of them are just very, very slight variations on each other. As for the good ideas, you can find those in other books, along with many more useful ones
