Book Reviews: Activities for Kids

With a super active child like my SMALL FAN, I'm always on the look out for activities to engage him. So, went to the library and borrowed these 2 books, here's my review on it:

The Busy mom's Book of Preschool Activities by Jamie Kyle Mcgillian
- This books contained quite a lot of simple activities you can do with your kids. What I like about it is that the instructions was very simple, most of the activities was written in like 3 lines, so it makes reading really really easy. I also like that the book was categorized in terms of theme rather then according to developmental stages of the kids (which is the case for most of the activities book I read before). For example, she has activities for Kitchen, for outdoor, for parties, for daily routines etc. A simple and easy read book for busy mom.


The 2000 best games and activities for baby through 8 by Susan Kettman
- What I like about this book is that it's categorized by skills, for example, activities to build communication skill, concentration skill, curiosity, decision making skill, kindness etc. Under these different categories, it was further broken down to activities for baby, toddlers, preschooler and kids. All in all a pretty neat and easy to read book, good to refer to when you have a specific skills you want to build on your kids.
