Hamlyn

The ages from 2 to 5 are a crucial stage of life for developing a child's talents, and every youngster will advance more quickly with the psychologically designed games and projects in this innovative book. Here are hundreds of practical, fun-filled activities to stimulate the imagination and build skills in music, art, drama, language, science, and math. Parents can use the "talent spotter" tables to identify special gifts and the year-by-year development charts to make sure their child is achieving full potential. To give parents a better grasp of how much difference activities like these can make, the author, a psychologist noted for her research in child development, explains the nature of creativity and its links with imagination, intelligence, and giftedness.

Creative Play For 2-5s: Recognize and Stimulate Your Child's Natural Talents

The emphasis is on fun as parent and child play "Wiggly Jiggly," "Bear, Bee &amp; Tabby Cat," or "Splish, Splash, Splosh." But since a person's adult vocabulary is largely determined by the speech heard in the first three years of life, there's a serious purpose behind each of these games. Each involves an important learning process, from naming objects and describing actions, to the essential math skills of matching and sorting groups of objects and recognizing numbers by sight and sound. Designed by a team of child development experts and based on the latest research on how children acquire vocabulary, logic, and number sense, these games offer a delightful way to get toddlers and preschoolers off to a brilliant start.

Bloomsbury Publishing Plc.

A resource for parents, childminders and all who care for small children, this book contains instructions for more than 100 games, many of which do not require adult supervision, toys or expense. The underlying benefit for a child's development is explained for each game. Games are arranged chronologically in three sections: the first two years; the pre-school years; and six to ten years. Some of the games are traditional, some new; some involve a little DIY using household materials; some are solitary, some need to be done in groups. A classified index tells the reader where to find quiet games or playing alone; quiet games to play with others; noisy games to play alone; and noisy games to play with others.
