An incredibly useful resource that has provided me with so many stimulating ideas for the toddlers at my daycare. It has also saved me a lot of time in trying to think of age-appropriate craft activities which are also theme based, interesting and fun.

Well worth purchasing.

3.0 out of 5 stars A little too much for one child?, May 17, 2007

This review is from: The Complete Resource Book for Toddlers and Twos: Over 2000 Experiences and Ideas (Complete Resource Series) (Paperback)

I purchased this book to give my nanny a resource for taking care of my 15-month-old. It is a bit more suited for a daycare than a nanny, as it has lesson plans for large groups of children. Although, there are some interesting suggestions and I like the way the book is organized. Not a waste of money or time, but I wouldn't recommend this as the only toddler activity book to purchase. This one might make a good extra book. I would recommend The Encyclopedia of Infant And Toddler Activities: For Children Birth to 3 as a starter book.
