I've looked at a lot of books claiming to have endless activities for toddlers, busy-time ideas, etc., and this one is by far the best I've come across. It is basically aimed at pre-preschoolers, or 2-3 year olds. I love how the little units are based on an overall theme, like dinosaurs, jungle animals, winter, etc., and incorporate learning in with the fun. Each unit has about 10-12 activities, which is perfect if you want to spend a week per unit or about 2 activities per day. Luke and I have already tried some of the activities, and they are quite fun for him. I really recommend this book if your child isn't quite ready for preschool, but you're looking for some fun activities to work on basic skills like alphabet, counting, colors, etc.
