Toddlers Can Be Creative, Too!

Can toddlers really create art? YES! And I have a book to prove it to you.

In many instances, children learn best by doing. Parents want to expose their child to a great variety of activities and often wonder: "What can I do now?" 

365 Toddler Activities that Inspire Creativity: Games, Projects, and Pastimes that Encourage a Child's Learning and Imagination by Joni Levine gives many (365, to be exact) answers to that question. Most of the suggested activities require very common materials and can be found at your local discount store.

From art to games, cooking to nature activities, this book is a must-read for parents or caregivers who seek activities beyond fingerpainting and play-doh. By experiencing something out of the ordinary, children can bring those new experiences back to old favorites to spark new creative ways of playing.

With this book, you can literally do something new with your child every day of the year while encouraging creativity at the same time! This provides a surefire solution for squashing the "I'm bored" refrain young ones seem so eager to say.
