I Saw a Purple Cow: And 100 Other Recipes for Learning

I remember this book from when i was a kid and my mom making fun activities with me, now i can continue the tradition with my children

My mother was an early childhood teacher and owned a copy of this book (circa 1980). I got a hold of it as a young child and would not give it back to her! I can remember following many of the "recipes" and having so much fun. This book is perfect for those who have small children and wish to find fun, easy, cheap activities to do at home. I am now 25 years old and the mother of a 3-month-old...as the original copy was lost, I am purchsing a new one. Although I won't be able to use it in the near future, I plan to read it and remember fondly my youth! I will be using it with my baby.

What a wonderful book. My children loved it and now my grandchildren spend hours doing the fun projects, games, party ideas, etc. The whimsical illustrations are perfect. Parents and teachers will love this book too...and it makes a perfect gift for ages 3 to 7...parents, baby sitters, teachers...all will find it useful and easy to use. It's my favorite baby gift too. No wonder people keep it around for years, I did.

I wore this book to tatters as a child. Now, with a child of my own, I've brushed the dust off of it and have pulled out the cornstach, egg cartons, buttons and twist-ties to fill his days with cheap and fun activities. Get this book for your kids! They'll love you for it.
