You need this book!,

This review is from: Simple Fun for Busy People: 333 Ways to Enjoy Your Loved Ones More in the Time You Have (Paperback)
This book is exactly what I have been looking for! It's a collection of many easy ideas for ways to have fun in many daily activities, such as waking up & going to bed, dealing with chores, and waiting. My imagination doesn't extend much beyond playing "I Spy" with my children, so we really need this book. The author also discusses why play & fun are important, but any parent or person involved with children knows this. This book gives you concrete ways to have fun, encourages you to use your own imagination, and best of all, you don't need lots of money or "stuff" to use these ideas. As the author says, "the best things in life aren't things".

First fun activity book I've found that a busy mom can use.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Simple Fun for Busy People: 333 Ways to Enjoy Your Loved Ones More in the Time You Have (Paperback)
There are several other great activity books out there. But this is the first one I can actually use almost anytime, any where, and with my spouse or with my kids, no matter what I'm doing, whether it's cooking, eating dinner, shopping, doing chores, at the office...really anything, even arguing. And simple clear directions make these games and antics someof the easiest to use of the family activity books I've seen." --Diane Brodkey (elementary school teacher and parent of a six yearold and eight yearold.)
