Lots of wonderful activities for your preschooler,
By Wendy Somerlot Bittel (Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Instant Curriculum: 500 Developmentally Appropriate Learning Activities for Busy Teachers of Young Children. (Paperback)
This book contains lots of wonderful activities to keep your preschooler or preschool class busy learning. The activities are grouped into sections based on what skill or topic they most relate to (ie fine motor skills, large motor skills, developing an interest in science, language skills, critical thinking). Each section is loaded with hands on active learning activities geared for preschoolers. Most of the supplies needed are items you will have around the house and are about ready to pitch. My personal favorite is the "Is the cup full" experiment. I use these with my kids at home. There are some activities that are geared for larger groups but most can be done individually. Whether you are an early childhood educator or a mom looking for quick activities to keep your young child busy, I would recommend this book.
