5.0 out of 5 stars Cool book!, May 25, 2003

This review is from: The Children's Busy Book : 365 Creative Games and Activities to Keep Your 6- to 10-year Old Busy (Paperback)

I'm only in the middle of this book, but so far it's great! It's got some great ideas for kids 6-10. I have a 6 year old, so some of these activities are too old. But I know I have them to look forward to! I have 4 year old too, but I know that he can do many of the things with my 6 year old! The subtitle actually says "...6 to 10-Year-Old..." and not 7-9.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this book!, December 9, 2010

This book is fantastic. I had the Toddler's version and loved it as well, so I was happy to be able to get this book to reference whenever I need a quick idea. My 9-yr old loves to look through it for ideas of things to do and the activities work well for a wide range of ages. Highly recommended! Great as a gift... all moms would love this!
