Making Toys for Infants & Toddlers: Using Ordinary Stuff for Extraordinary Play

Everyone knows that teachers are resourceful individuals who use every item (recycled or new) to create activities for their students. As a preschool director I found that I had a great wealth of knowledge in creating for 3-5 year-olds but not infants and toddlers. This book changed it all. I am just purchasing a copy after borrowing from one from my friend. The book gives you ideas on things you can make for your classroom (or your home) on the cheap. Also, as children tend to plow through toys this book gives you options for creating new toys and keeping them coming! This is an A+ for teachers and parents who like simple (albeit not the most glamorous) projects that help children develop their skills. Help your infants explore and use their senses.
