I am planning on homeschooling my soon-to-be 1-year-old child and I've been on the lookout for early learning activity books. I was happy to stumble across this guide at a local used book store.Each chapter consists of information on child development and a couple of education themes. For example, chapter 4 is about exploring roles and one of the themes is Space. Each theme is broken down into multiple activities for drama (making and wearing a space helmet), sensory/art (making red "Mars" sand), curiosity (moon bottles with colored water and glitter), construction (wrapping blocks in foil to build with), literacy (reading "Hey Diddle Diddle" and "Goodnight Moon"), music (Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star), movement (moon walking), outdoors (coloring moon rocks), and projects (space mural collage). Each set of activities is grouped by age range: all ages, 18-24 months, 24-30 months, and 30-36 months. Each activity has step by step instructions and a supply list (mostly household items).I can tell already that this book will provide many fun and educational activities for my son. I look forward to getting my materials together over the next few months and beginning this program with him!
i am just about to open my own nursery and have found this book to be an excellent source of information, Excellent guidelines and appropriate activities for a specific age group....i have yet to come across a book with such detailed information both for teachers and children. This book is also great for those who are not in the teaching field and require information with regard to opening a daycare, or summer camp.
This book is exactly as advertised - comprehensive. It does a wonderful job of explaining the developmental stages that your child will go through and offers a wonderful array of activities that you can use with your toddler. I have not found any other book that offers both - a research based explanation of your toddlers developmental stages and a comprehensive set of activities to use with your toddler. A good investment. I will also be purchasing the Comprehensive Infant Curriculum for our next child.This book is appropriate for child care/pre-school providers and parents alike.
Having used the infant version of this book, I knew I would utilize the toddler for my class. I am not disappointed. Everything needed for lesson planning is clearly stated. More importantly it gives the developmentally appropriate ages for each activity so even someone fresh to the field would have no problems.
