Child’s Play is an activity book jam-packed with play ideas for parents to enjoy with their toddlers, from twelve months through to three years of age. Each game offers parents the chance to enjoy, encourage, and assist in their child’s key developmental stage, and all activities are based on sound techniques of early-childhood education. All activities are presented with guidelines and suggestions that progress in terms of difficulty, and no specialized knowledge or equipment is necessary.

 

From encouraging your infant to explore the sense of touch and coordination, to action songs for toddlers and nature activities for the garden or local park, Child’s Play offers children and parents the chance to learn and play together.
