300 Three Minute Games: Quick And Easy Activities For 2-5 Year Olds is a compendium of games children (and adults) will love to play while waiting in line at the market, stalled in traffic, between classes, on a field trip, at bedtime, or anytime a few quality minutes of fun and distraction are needed. 300 Three Minute Games is organized according to Animal Games, Stuck Inside Games, Stuffed Animal Games, Book Games, Exercise Games, Bath Games, Waiting Games, and Thinking Games. Child-engaging line drawings illustrate every page. No parent, teacher, or child-care center worker can afford to be without their own personal copy of 300 Three Minute Games! -- Midwest Book Review

1.0 out of 5 stars What a waste of money, January 14, 2001

This review is from: 300 Three Minute Games: Quick and Easy Activities for 2-5 Year Olds (Paperback)

I bought this book hoping for some innovative games or activities for my kids. Instead, I found the vast majority of the ideas to be either things that any parent of a 3 year old already knows (let child apply stickers to paper, let child draw outside with chalk, read a book to the child, put your hand in a sock and use it as a puppet, rolling and throwing a ball with the child) or 5-6 line poems that the parent is supposed to memorize and sing with the child. Do not waste your money.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book can help you keep from turning gray so soon., March 24, 1999

This review is from: 300 Three Minute Games: Quick and Easy Activities for 2-5 Year Olds (Paperback)

It is full of handy, quick ideas. Also, while the ideas are being used, our children are improving intellectual, motor, and social skills not to mention the bonding that takes place between parent and child.

5.0 out of 5 stars Precious moments with my children, March 28, 2007

Being a busy mother of 3 children under the age of 5, it can be easy to lose perspective. This book is a Godsend! It reminded me to use that sock as a puppet which my 4 year old puts in his "workbox". Every day they ask for a "raisin story"! (that's a certain story in the book) And, just today my 2 yr. old was saying "goodnight" to everything in his room. (taken from "Goodnight Moon) It's a good source of entertainment, precious moments, and not to mention-lots of laughs!!!
