The Giant Encyclopedia Of Monthly Activities: For Children 3 To 6, written by the team of teachers Kathy Charner, Maureen Murphy, and Charlie Clark for use by fellow teachers, is a vast compendium of inexpensive and educational classroom ideas. Organized by the recommended school month for each group of activities, suggestions range from "Everyone Needs a Nametag" (September) to "Pumpkin Math" (October), "Snow Painting" (January), "Paper Daffodils" (March) and much more. With over 600 options, ranging from projects that take a few minutes to long-running activities over the course of a month, The Giant Encyclopedia Of Monthly Activities is a near-inexhaustible treasure trove of clever ideas. Highly recommended for educators, day care centers, babysitters, and anyone else who works with young children.

This is a great book to look up activities by the month that are easy to put together. A great addition to any collection for preschool teachers.

This book is great for both giving you activities that are themed based, and crafts to do. It also sites books that can be used with both. There are a variety of activities that can be done in a day or others that are meant to be used over a week or the whole month. Ideas are broken up into months, and also cover Holidays that are in that month. If you can buy only one of these books (in the series) I would choose this one. The arts and crafts book is good too for more craft ideas, but not necessary to have as a companion. I am a homeschooling mom and love this book. It gives my kids a real-life classroom experience at home, not just the basics of education. I can also see how it would be good for a school teacher as I have helped in the classroom alot there too.
