Book suggestions for things to do with 3-6 year olds

[Busyfeetsmum]

Never posted before so apologies if I'm putting this in the wrong place. But I wondered if anyone has suggestions for a book of things to do with 3-6 year olds. Arts, crafts, outdoors, games, baking, making...anything and everything. I'm not the most imaginative parent so any book that covers a range of topics would be great to hear about. Thanks!

Hi. I hope this one helps...

You could try the blog - Playing By The Book - Zoe does lots of really lovely activities based around books.

I know exactly what you mean, getting ideas for fun things is a nightmare! I used these guys over the Christmas holidays and were pretty good... www.bakerross.co.uk/

If you're looking for fun ways to get your kids reading you can also check this out... www.readsuccessfully.com/ they're card games, my kids love them in the evening we play and defs helps their reading!

Good luck :)

I'm not very imaginative either @Busyfeetsmum. I found my library had some good books and I found Pinterest useful too

Usborne do a range of activity books , if you search on Amazon 'usborne things to do' it will bring up a whole list of books e.g. -
Big book of science things to make and do
Things to do on a train journey
Things to make and do with paper and cardboard

We've got an Easter and Christmas one, both of which are good.

Not sure if I'd recommend the sciencecone *daisy. Seem to remember my little nutter spending most of a summer in the kitchen doing experiments and never having anything left to bake with...

OP,

Not a book, but the imagination tree (blog by Early Years art teacher/ mum of 4) is a brilliant resource for everything you mentioned!

Also, the free activity ideas section on hands on as we grow.

I second the usborne ones. The instructions are clear and the Dc can follow them by themselves.
