HAVE A GUIDE - Forget scrolling through social media or blogs for ideas; now your plan for having fun and teaching your toddler is laid out for you! BE CONSISTENT - You now have a guide to help keep your learning time organized and fun! GIVE YOUR CHILD A HEAD START - Your toddler is naturally curious, so help fuel that curiosity by introducing them to new topics before they get to preschool or school. What is in the book? This book includes 200 activities! There are 19 themes. See themes below. Each activity has a materials list and detailed directions. There are 114 low prep activities--that means the prep time is only 1 or 2 minutes! The book has 49 handouts that correlate with specific themes. The book is 280 pages of fun for you and your toddler to enjoy together! Can a busy mom follow this lesson plan? Sure! These activities are made for busy moms! A few minutes will be needed for you to round up the supplies (and your toddler!) Each activity takes about 10-15 minutes. If certain days are busy for you, schedule around them and only plan on doing the activities on days that work best for you and your little one. Of course, there are days where things feel too hectic, but just hang in there! We may feel too busy to do the activities, but our toddlers aren't too busy to learn and have fun!
