"The Toddler's Busy Book" is written with warmth and sprinkled with humour and insight. It should be required reading for anyone raising or teaching toddlers. It shows parents and child-minders how to: prevent boredom during the longest stretches of bad weather with ideas for indoor play, kitchen activities, and arts and crafts projects; save money by making your own paints, craft clays, glue, paste, and other arts and crafts supplies; stimulate a child's natural curiosity with simple math, language and motor-skills activities; encourage a child's physical, mental, and emotional growth with ideas for music, dance, drama, and outdoor play; enjoy holidays and rainy days with special projects and activities; and, keep toddler's occupied during long car journeys.
