Mostly Exercises
4 Oct 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I purchased this book for ideas and games for a preschool level fitness class. Most of the book is one-on-one exercises for toddlers...very patient and "easy" toddlers. There are a few games in the back of the book. Not what I expected according to the description.
