I Have Used This Book For YEARS!

This book has been around FOREVER and continues to be updated. Over the years, I have probably given away at LEAST 20 copies of this book to parents of toddlers. It is the BEST book out there for creative, imaginative fun for kids that can only help them to be smart, smart adults.
I couldn't believe the reviews that stated that this was for "unimaginative"adults! I am as creative as they come and I was amazed at some of the neat, terrific and educational ideas that the authors came up with. That said, there are a few activities that I thought were a little "out there" so I skipped those activities, but everyone is different. Trust me, this book leads the way in creative play!

Inappropriate choice of materials for a book aimed at age two+

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children under the age of four not be given nuts, popcorn, or raisins, due to the risk of choking. Therefore, it seems rather inappropriate to include these ingredients in recipes and craft activities in a book aimed at children "age two years and up." Here are just a few examples of activities from this book that use such ingredients:
- Grandma's Granola (Activity 171) contains both nuts and raisins
- Popcorn Packaging (Activity 74) contains popcorn
- Cereal Balls (Activity 51) contain raisins.

This book was not quite what I expected. There are some good ideas and some truly idiotic ones as well. I'm not sure if the good outweighs the bad.

For the Extremely Dull and Uncreative Parents Out There

One of the ideas for creative play the authors offer is to find a hill and roll down it. Or if that doesn't knock your socks off find a trail of ants and watch them marching by! If your child needs you and a book to come up with these play ideas seek professional help... now!
