The Encyclopedia of Infant and Toddler Activities: For Children
Birth to 3 is a compilation of activities written by teachers, for
teachers, yet also useful as a tool for parents looking to spend
quality educational time with their young children. Activities
range from fine and gross motor practice, to fingerplays and
rhymes, to fun with science, language and literacy enhancement,
social-emotional training, and much more. Some activities require
inexpensive materials; each lists the age group (Infants, younger
toddlers, infants and toddlers, or older toddlers) appropriate for
the activity, followed by straightforward step-by-step
instructions. A superb resource especially for teachers, daycare
providers, and babysitters. A sample activity is Eye Follow-Ups for
infants; the materials are any bright-colored objects, and the
steps are "1. Place a brightly colored object, such as a yellow
block, in front of an infant's eyes. 2. Slowly move it to the left,
then to the right, to let the infant's eyes follow it. Do it for
only a few seconds." - Midwest Book Reviews
