5.0 out of 5 stars Great Fun!, June 7, 2003

By	"intentaccess" (Boca Raton, Florida USA) - See all my reviews

This is an excellent book for fun, learning and just great family times. Some of the ideas are more complex then others so the activities you choose depend on your time and how much you want to get involved at that time.

For every activity it lists all you need and complete directions which are really detailed for that activity.
The resources are wonderful! It list magazines, books, websites, organizations which are related to each topic and just branches out the fun and learning.

This was a nice book to keep around for further reference. Great to have on hand!

4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of different activities to keep your children in shape, October 25, 2001

By	catdogkidsfirst (USA) - See all my reviews

While some ideas seem too much work and/or time involved, it's a great book. What I liked about this book is that it gives you lots of fun facts throughout the book. For each activity, it lists materials you need and the directions on how to do that activity. At the end of the book, it lists magazines, organizations, and websites relating to Family Fun.
