Someone suggested I get this book because I was having a hard time thinking up ways to play with my daughter that would intrigue her. The things to do in this book are easy to follow and make use of common household items. I would certainly recommend this book!
Simple weekly activities to stimulate learning, birth - 5 October 9, 2004

This book was recommended in Susan Wise Bauer's The Well Trained Mind. I have found it invaluable. Each week, there is a new, developmentally- appropriate activity to introduce to your baby/toddler/preschooler. They involve fine and gross motor skills, cognitive skills, listening skills, and many more. The activities are not complicated, nor do they need to be. Oberlander selects activities using common household objects. This is an easily digestible guide to keeping in touch with your child's developmental abilities!
the PERFECT shower gift & SANITY-SAVER for all parents August 1, 2005

I am a mother of 3 year old & a 6 month old. Since my first child was born, I have been looking for ways to help give my children any extra 'help' I can ... and also for ways to entertain and occupy them. I don't plan to home school ... but preschool may be financially out of reach. This is an awesome book! I have checked out numerous books from the library as well as searched the internet for free (and inexpensive) ways to accomplish my above agenda. The author provides great, realistic ideas on how to make your children expand their minds.
I was even given the book by Gymboree on activities ... let me tell you, that book was dumb! My daughter never wanted to do those things and it took a lot out of you to set up the projects. This is a book I will put on my list of "perfect gift for a shower" along with the Einstein videos and a bouncy seat. Talk about a life saver.

I borrowed this from the library and it was so good I ordered 3 copies (one for myself and two for gifts). I HIGHLY recommend this book. My children are 6 months and 2-and-a-half and there are so many fun activities in here for them!

This book is full of great ideas with activities for all toddlers. I especially like the activites for 12 months and older. I am a stay at home mom of two and sometimes get lost for new ideas. I have turned to the book several times and the kids love the activities!
