This book is full of creative, imaginative ideas! For anyone who wants their grandkids to do more than just watch tv and play video games, you must get this book!

I have been a preschool teacher for thirteen years and have two children of my own. This book by Peggy Epstein has great ideas. This book has exactly what today's children are craving. They don't need the latest toy or video out on the market. what children need is time with the people that they love. This book has lots of ideas that don't cost any money and has little preparation time. Give this book to anyone that wants to connect with a child. Open any page and you will find ways to interact with your child, grandchild, neighbor or friend who needs five minutes of uninterupted time with you. I highly recommend this book.

I LOVE this delightful little book! But don't let the title mislead you, "Great Ideas for Grandkids! 150 Ways to Entertain, Educate, and Enjoy" is for ANYONE who likes to have fun with children (i.e., educators, new parents, aunts and uncles, care givers, home school, etc.). This book is full of GREAT fun and easy-to-do activities to amuse both young and old. It has lots of wonderful ideas of things to do, and most use simple props easily found at home or school. Additionally, it would make a great inexpensive gift for school teachers, especially elementary school ~ and the timing is PERFECT, the school semester is almost over. This book really does inspire readers to have fun!

It has good ideas and variety. I found it to be to wordy before and mixed in with the how to parts. Also, some ideas referred to a previous one, which was good, but would have been better if added as a continuation or a variant instead of several pages apart. I will probably redo the ideas for my own personal use and easier reference. This book has stimulated memories and ideas. It is worth having. Those wordy fillers are useful too.

The introduction in this book is a beautiful tribute to her grandmother. All grandparents would gain much by many of the ideas in the book.
