Play Smart Early Learning is a great quality book with entertaining and interesting activities, beautiful illustrations, and simple instructions. Each page has special place for cute reward stickers after the task is completed. Various activities help children develop their imagination, for example, by cutting and glueing the hair in place, or improve the attention by finding hidden objects, or just keep kids busy for a while by playing a jumping game or doing origami. Overall, it is fun time spending!
La mia bambina di 3 anni lo adora ed io con lei mi diverto tantissimo perché è davvero vario con tanti esercizi semplici e divertenti.Lo consiglio vivamente visto il prezzo.
Since the nurseries closed and I started home schooling my daughter who is at a private prep preschool and thrives on teacher led activities that are based on rewards in the form of toddler currency-STICKERS (this book comes with them too so you donât even have to buy them!) we have been using the Kumon (we still are along side this book as Kumon helped myself and friends children get straight Aâs in maths so Iâm a kumon devotee) book but photocopying the pages in colour and repeating them randomly as thatâs how the Kumon method works.This book also works on her fine motor skills, cutting out skills, tracing, number recognition and counting however we will be working using the book itâs self not copying it as this has lovely little crafty things like dress up dolls, setting out food, where sheâll glue straight into the book. It has a wipe clean game at the back where you draw a face, and even some ideas for simple PE exercises! When we looked at it last night she was so excited to use it she threw a tantrum haha in fact Iâm looking forward to doing a couple little projects together today!I will definitely buy another one of their books but first Kumon practice then fun!Actually I must add make sure your child has a decent pair of safety scissors, preferably metal ones, a glue stick, and some good crayons or colouring pencils as theyâre essentials to use the book ð
The exercises inside are really engaging and my child loves working on it.
My daughter loved doing the activities in this book. Age appropriate and engaging. She was able to complete the book in a month. It has lots of pages with a variety of activities. Some activities require the use of scissors and glue. I recommend it.
