Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreS-Gr 1--Countless activities and games, stories to tell, things to sort, and counting puzzles will fill many empty hours for children. Each activity is introduced with a catchy invitation and utilizes readily available household supplies such as paper, a pencil, scissors, crayons, and newspapers. Most require minimum supervision. "Dice Designs," "Opposites Attract," and "Three Sense Challenge" need a partner, but the majority of the projects are easily accomplished alone. Further challenges reinforce the skill introduced and allow youngsters to discover "More Surprises." Each game, puzzle, and activity is a learning experience unto itself. Following directions, establishing dexterity and small-motor control, learning the alphabet, counting and sorting, problem solving, and concentration are educational by-products of the thought-provoking experiences. Teachers, librarians, club leaders, and organizational directors of preschool programs will find many surprises here.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A must for parents of pre-schoolers!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Shapes, Sizes & More Surprises!: A Little Hands Early Learning Book (Williamson Little Hands Book) (Paperback)
My wife and I found Tomczyk's book to be perfect for working with our two pre-schoolers. It gave us many great ideas about activities that we could do that helped stimulate their minds, not just to fill time like some activities. We're recommending it to all our friends and the day care centers. We think every parent, grand-parent and teacher of pre-schoolers should have of copy of this terrific book. We hope Tomczyk continues to give us more ideas
