Description
Charner et al. offer fellow teachers of infant to toddler-age groups approximately 300 activities designed for certain times of day (arrival, nap, snack, transitions) or to encourage specific developmental skills (e.g. fine and gross motor, literacy, math, dramatic play, and social emotional). Within those categories, activities are organized by age group, from infants to age 3 toddlers. Each activity contains a materials list and simple instructions.
