Format:Paperback
I bought this book on the basis of how thrilled I had been with the 'Toddler' version. It was a risk, as I thought there may have been just the same stuff repeated, but this is not the case.
The author has managed to pull together another huge range of interesting, exciting, educational and fun activities for you to do with your bored pre-school child - without the need for sunny weather or expensive pieces of 'kit'. She gives invaluable advice on how to collect a box of cheap bits and bobs for use in the activities. I particularly love her idea of a 'Crazy Jar' - a jar of activities printed on small pieces of paper that your pre-school child can select from and enjoy on their own, without the need for lots of your supervision, messy preparation or cleaning up afterwards. Perfect for when you need your hands free for a while, like when preparing meals or looking after a younger child. A truly great book - I'd buy it if it cost twice the price!!

Excellent book. Bought it with my nearly 3 year old in mind. I thought it was a bit late for the toddler version now. Really handy to have this to dip into and not have to come up with my own ideas - especially with a new baby in the house! Some things are certainly too advanced for him yet but I'm sure we'll get several years worth of use from this book.

I have hardly had time to read this properly and have only done one thing from it - BUT the activity I did (Writing a list of "people who love me" and illustratin it) was a huge hit with my boy. It was most revealing to find out who was in and out... He talks about it a lot and is always adding to it. Bizarre!
A lot of the stuff is a little Americanised but you can still adapt it.
The only problem is finding time to read it!

Great book
A really good book. Loads of good ideas which are pretty cheap to do. I find it difficult to think of new things to do with my daughter and this book is so helpful.
