Excellent resource for parents, too!

I am planning on homeschooling my soon-to-be 1-year-old child and I've been on the lookout for early learning activity books. I was happy to stumble across this guide at a local used book store. Each chapter consists of information on child development and a couple of education themes. For example, chapter 4 is about exploring roles and one of the themes is Space. Each theme is broken down into multiple activities for drama (making and wearing a space helmet), sensory/art (making red "Mars" sand), curiosity (moon bottles with colored water and glitter), construction (wrapping blocks in foil to build with), literacy (reading "Hey Diddle Diddle" and "Goodnight Moon"), music (Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star), movement (moon walking), outdoors (coloring moon rocks), and projects (space mural collage). Each set of activities is grouped by age range: all ages, 18-24 months, 24-30 months, and 30-36 months. Each activity has step by step instructions and a supply list (mostly household items). I can tell already that this book will provide many fun and educational activities for my son. I look forward to getting my materials together over the next few months and beginning this program with him!
