In a world of change and hurry and pressure, it's all too easy to miss the wonder – and the fun – of a child's early years. Parents and other loving adults know it's important to spend "quality time" with toddlers, but sometimes we don't know what to do. In this handbook of activities, Jan Brennan offers hundreds of ideas. For each week of each month, she presents books to read, nursery rhymes to say, songs to sing, games to play, crafts to make, foods to prepare, and explorations to take together. And these aren't elaborate activities for Supermoms with full-time help. They're simple, use materials likely to be at hand, and will charm both child and adult.
