This review is from: Boredom Busters!: The Curious Kids' Activity Book (Williamson Kids Can Books) (Paperback)

I would rate this book a low five or a high four. The reason is that the drawers are big and cluttery and sometimes the fonts they use are big and cluttery and that makes it hard for me to concentrate on the page and read the activity. Having said that though- this is an excellent book.

The ideas are easy to impliment, usually using around the house supplies. Some of them are messy and some of them are not. There is a wide range of activities that will appeal to a wide range of youngsters, cooking, music, mobiles, bugs and more are included in here.

The books says it is directed towards 6- 12 years old. I'd say this is about right. However, some of the activities would be too simple for six year olds and might work well in a kindergarten classroom.

Enjoy
