5.0 out of 5 stars Great selection of fun things to do for a young child!!, November 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Beyond Peek-A-Boo and Pat-A-Cake: Activities for Baby's First 24 Months (Plastic Comb)

This book provides some really great (and inexpensive) methods of entertaining a young child. I first had "Games Babies Play" which was great for the first nine months, but then didn't have as much to do for an older baby. After purchasing this book, I wish I had had it from the start.

Each month has a list of activities, as well as helpful hints that are great for first time parents. It has some nice journal notations for development also.

1.0 out of 5 stars Didn't work for me, January 10, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Beyond Peek-A-Boo and Pat-A-Cake: Activities for Baby's First 24 Months (Plastic Comb)

I don't feel that I'm that creative of a person, so I thought this book would be helpful. I didn't find it full of suggestions for games; a better title might be "what to do with your life each month." The book had sections recommending that I buy a new outfit, tweeze my brows or other suggestions for mothers (inspirational, but not what I bought the book for). It also recommends chocolate pudding, peanut butter and other allergy/choking hazards for games with 6-9 month olds. IMHO the book wasn't helpful: it wasn't aimed at games, it was an oddly written "what to expect the first year."

This review is from: Beyond Peek-A-Boo and Pat-A-Cake: Activities for Baby's First 24 Months (Plastic Comb)

Used this with all 3 kids, LOVED it!! So many wonderful ideas, and also sections to fill out what your baby/toddler is doing or enjoying at that time of life. I love flipping back through it and it just brings back some wonderful memories. : )

A reviewer before mentioned the "danger" of the balloons and stickers. Wellll, honestly folks -- whatever happened to COMMON SENSE?? I mean, my babies LOVED looking at bright beautiful ballons! On the other hand, I didn't pop them and leave pieces of balloon around for them to choke on....um, just common sense. Stickers on the hand -- all my babies loved this. The solution to it being a "choking hazard"? How about, YOU are right there, playing with your baby, making sure they don't eat one? Easy enough. Maybe it was a first time parent that wrote that review? ; )

The one valid complaint I agree with is that there is a suggestion about peanut butter, which is a no no before the age of one.

Still, most parents who love new ideas will probably find this book really valuable. Just use common sense with balloons and stickers, that's all. : )
