I used this resourceful book for my student teaching. I got great ideas for lessons! Definitely will be using this again.

Some good activities. Some outdated, some very simple (e.g.: read a story). I didn't love the "younger toddler" vs "older toddler" categorisation. Would have preferred an age range. Also, I understand that laminating makes things more durable but if I wanted my child to handle plastic all day I would not bother making my own activities.

This book helped me to find some good activities and to adapt them to my culture.

Designed for a classroom and mostly for infants, 1, and 2 year olds. Good ideas to adapt to your child.

Great ideas! But for daycares which I didn’t fully understand until reading it

This book isn't organized very well. It mixes activities for different age groups, making it difficult to find those for the age of your child. On the plus side, it has some usable ideas. You just have find them. A lot of the activities are for teachers.

By teachers for teachers? Really? If you're in early childhood and you have to resort to this book for ideas, you might want to rethink your career choice. Lame.

By teachers for parents, on the other hand, not too shabby.

This has some good ideas, but mainly I thought they were common sense things. A few good nuggets though.
