This review is from: 365 Things to Do With Your Kids Before They're Too Old to Enjoy Them (Paperback)

I picked this book up thinking it would be more craft ideas with crazy materials that I couln't find. WOW ! Was I ever wrong... It has wonderful and thoughtful ideas on how to spend time with your kids while doing things everyone will enjoy. Some of the ideas were simple like watch the clouds together while others were things that you think of once in awhile but never get around to - like sharing a famlly history. Best of all, I was able to use about 90% of the ideas as a Reward List for my son to choose from when he has done his chores and had good behavior. I was really looking for some money free ways to spend fun time with him. It was rewarding for both of us !

In the introduction, the author speaks about enjoying your children's early years and childhood and how time seems to fly by so quickly. It also mentions that "play is an intergral part of childhood" This book is recommended for parents who have children between the ages of 3-13 years. Example of activites that are listed in the book are: look at shooting stars, go through your family album or boxes of old photos together, talk about God, share your favorite songs from the past with your kids, make neighborhood maps, set them loose with a camera, paint with pudding and lots more... This book is full of activities you'll enjoy with your family.
