Customer Rating:

As a future first-time mom with no motherly instinct, I thought this book would be a great help to help me figure out activities to do with baby. Unfortunately, this book has not allowed me to reach my goal. All the "baby" activities are more than common sense. It's also a bit frustrating to see no age recommended for the baby activities. Babies grow quite a bit until they get into toddlerhood and so which one fits which stage? You won't know. All in all, I didn't find this book useful but I analyzed it from a "baby" point of view only. It may be more useful for older kids but I don't think I'll get to read it. Not a keeper.

Lori	Customer Rating:
Lots of things to do for differnt age groups. It's nice to find different books out there that help keeping kids occupied. Recommend.

not a 5-star book	Customer Rating:
There are about 600 activities in the book instead of 2000 as the titile suggested. Most of the activities are just common sense. I don't know why the book received all 5-star reviews.

the best	Customer Rating:
This is by far the best activity book I have ever seen/used. I work with children so I always have to come up or event new activities. This makes my life so much easier. It is well put together, fun (for adults and children alike). Thank you for this book. I have even started sharing it with all the mothers I know. I highly recommend this to any one who has children or work with children.

Kid learning	Customer Rating:
First time mother with no kid experience. Was a helpful tool for me. Gave me ideas on games and activities that would not only be fun for my toddler but would help him developmentally. Really had some good ideas. Would definitely recommend it for mothers who need a little help keeping their child occupied.
