Foreword Magazine, June 1999
Even the most creatively-challenged parent or caregiver will have an easy time occupying the children with this abundant and detailed collection of activities for children aged two to seven. Waterman, a mother of three, arranges the activities into fifty-two "Theme Days," one for each week of the year. Themes are varied and interesting, and include dinasaurs, pirates, post office, nursery rhymes, inventions, and detectives. For each theme, Waterman gives suggestions for tailoring the activities to appeal to children of multiple ages. Waterman provides detailed instructions for all crafts and activities. Each "theme" also includes a list of related age-appropriate books and videos, and a list of arts and crafts materials needed for the activities. This book is well-organized and easy to use. Activities are simple but inventive and do not require expensive purchases or exceptional talent.
