The Ultimate Toddler Activity Guide: Fun & educational activities to do with your toddler (Early Learning)

I recently purchased this book for a college course I’m taking. All students purchased this book and another book. Let me tell you if you are new to Lesson planning and new to adding in a subject area or not know where to even begin.. This book will be for you.. It clearly explains in detail how each lesson activity will help children, what they will learn and how to approach the child when teaching each activity. There’s so much topics it goes with common core standards as well.. It also has a work sheet In the end of the book (Appendix) with the exact page to use an activity with. They have been a tremendous help. I believe any teacher working from Early Child Education to 3rd grade this will benefit you. I say third grade bc my son who is also Autistic enjoys the activities.. Again it breaks it down so clearly. I have been hearing that the majority of the class and from my other classes that I am taking, have been asking where we purchased our books. If you do get this book also check outrage Ultimate Kindergarten Prep Guide..

This is an outstanding book and well worth every penny. The book is so organized and well planned out that it is easy to find exactly what you need. I even appreciated the details such as fonts and characters. You can tell the author wanted this to really be USED! As an elementary educator, I believe these are quality activities that will help keep my 2 year old stimulated and engaged. I love that a lot of them are low-prep and require basic school supplies. My goal was to find something to help me keep my toddler at pace during the summer while he is home with me. I didn’t want him to fall behind before returning to preschool in August. Also, if you don’t want to do the few Christian holiday activities...just don’t. No need to write a terrible review about it. That in no way shaped my opinion about this fantastic resource. 5 stars for sure. I can’t wait to add more to my Best Mom Ideas collection!

Would be nice if there were picture examples of what everything is supposed to look like. Has cute activities pages that you can copy. Many of the items however are stupid fillers that no one would need help with such as make popcorn and talk about smell, texture, taste whatever. Really? That is not an activity idea that every parent and teacher dont already do in many ways with many things on our own. Its called normal life and having basic conversation and a relationship with the child. There are MANY silly fillers to try to make it look like there ate more activities then there are that just take up room and waste time when looking for an actual activity. There are a variety of viewpoints in here to speak to what some reviewers said about christian propaganda. There are halloween activities too which obviously are anti christian so i dont think the book is trying to lead anyone in any direction it just includes different things for different people it is very inclusive. Obviously parents or teachers prepare lessons ahead of time and you choose what is best for your child just like you do with anything else on earth. Overall great book with simple activities that are easy on the pocket. Worth the cost with just the pagea you can copy.

The book is exactly as described. So many fun and educational activities. I got this book primary because my 4 year had a bad experience at pre K. As parents we decided to homeschool and do the kindergarten prep at home. This will definitely bridge that gap. I just wish I had bought this earlier, I could have started this at 2 years, but 3 to 5 year olds can benefit from these activities. As for the seller, excellent condition as this was bought used. I cannot tell if this book was used 😊👍😁

I am/was extremely nervous to homeschool my son, however after finding this book my confidence is through the roof! I am going to use this book to help with before pre-k learning. Just flipping through the book I see so many outstanding activities that I did not find on Pinterest. I was nervous about purchasing this book because I was aware of the activity worksheets in the back. I wanted to use this book for multiple children. So I bought the book under the impression it would be a one time use, however in the front of the book she gives you a link to print more of the sheets!!! It’s everything I wanted and more!

I love the amount of ideas are in this book. However some of the projects could use some illustrations. I love had to Google them to get a better idea of what to do. Also some of the projects would really benefit from being in color or at least black and white so the kids can color it. It's hard to color pictures that are grey. I do love that you can print extras of the projects if you need to. There is a splash of religious content fyi

Book was purchased for further interacting with our toddler grandchild. We already have several activities from which to keep her amused and exercising, with some learning. The book consists of concise descriptions of activities that include lists of needed materials and tools for use by the adult or the toddler and any associated worksheets that can be reproduced for repeated use. So, a reader can skim for activities to make selections based on goals, simplicity of preparations and available time with which to engage. Favorites can be repeated without damaging the book. If you become a fan of this author, she has comparable resources from pre-kindergarten through first grade for reading and math activities.

This book will grow with my family. Has tons of fun low prep, low cost, educational activities. I’m really looking forward to trying so many of the activities. I feel like this a good book to help ease into & lay down a foundation for homeschooling. Surprised at some of the negative reviews. You get what you see. I feel the book is as advertised & is exactly what I expected to be getting. Some people just choose to not be satisfied or don’t read about the product.

I care for my two year old grandson one day a week, and this gives me loads of ideas to occupy and stretch his mind. It is American so includes activities for the likes of "Presidents' Day" but there is a bit in it for Latin American festivals - I don't feel it pushes Christian festivals particularly (ignore those pages if they are not your thing), but indeed it would be great for someone could add even more with some bits on the likes of Remembrance Day, Burns Night, Chinese New Year, Eid al-Fitr, Yom Kippur, Diwali and the many others that the British multicultural world embraces. I also emailed the author with a question or two and was pleased to get a personal response quickly.

This book has a huge supply of activities! It also comes with printouts you can copy for colouring or cutting out. My only issue is that some of the activities require supplies I don't typically have, but for the most part they all seem easy enough.

Update two years later: still using this book and loving it! This is so great! I'm sure many of these ideas are online, but it would take forever to find them all. It is super straightforward and helpful. (Also, the review about it being super religious, I'm not sure about that- there are just some holiday activities like Easter and Christmas, that's as religious as it gets.)

Bought this for my son and daughter-in-law to use as a resource for ideas of things to do with their toddler. They love the book, lots of ideas suitable for about 2 years and up with supervision.

I loved the concept but the book was not what I expected. Alot of these can be found on Google. Some of them are not necessarily age appropriate
