365 TV-Free Activities You Can Do with Your Child
By Steven J. Bennet and Ruth Bennett

Make the most of your time with your charges-whether it's five minutes or a whole afternoon-with simple, fun activities that will excite the whole family. From arts and crafts to toymaking to math and number games, 365 TV-Free Activities You Can Do with Your Child will help take the kids away from the tube and stimulate their minds. You'll promote better health, improved mental abilities, a stronger caregiver-child bond . . . and the best part is you'll never hear "I'm bored" again!

Best of all, these 415 activities require little or nothing in the way of props-usually anything around the house will do-or set-up time. Extensive indexing makes it easy to choose the best activity for any day according to:

*Age group
*Exhaustion factor
*Indoor vs. outdoor
*Materials required
*Skills learned

Now featuring 50 bonus activities, 365 TV-Free Activities You Can Do with Your Child is a great book to use instead of watching TV each day.

Stop by next Saturday for more book reviews.
