Quotes About This Product

I just coordinated a swap with several moms in my homeschool group, and am SO happy with all the great activities I now have to entertain my kids! They are fabulous, and I know my girls are going to love each one. As we all sat around chatting at our swap last night, the biggest question was, "When can we do this again?!?" I promised that I would check into when the next books will be coming out. Do you have an anticipated release date, or is it still too far ahead in the future? I'll be eagerly awaiting your answer! :) Sincerely ~April S   After becoming pregnant with my third child on some days I would put the kids in front of the TV while I took my daily nap. Now when it is time for my nap the kids are asking, “Hey Mom, can we do our Preschool Activities instead of watching TV?” What a blessing the activities have been for me. Thank you so much for creating this much-needed book! ~ Carol V. I am so grateful for "Activities in a Bag" because it helps me give my kids activities that they enjoy and learn from, especially because I greatly lack creativity - this is a great help! Thanks ~ Norma B. I am the home school mom of 6 kids and I just love the Preschool Activities in a Bag!! They are so convenient. I just grab a bag out of my box and plop it down in front of one of my preschoolers and I have peace and quiet until they are ready for another activity! Wow! I would recommend this book to anyone with preschoolers. Preschool Activities in a Bag take me away! ~ Grace R.   No matter where I go or what topic I am talking about one question is common to all situations, "What do you do with the toddler while doing school with the older ones?" Here is the answer! Included in this valuable book are simple and clear directions, a list of what you need, hints and tips so that you can make up 34 activity bags to keep your toddler busy. Get your toddlers contentedly learning alongside you. The activities will keep your little guy busy while he learns colors, matching, left-right, hand-eye coordination, ordering, and more. Since each one has been tested by at least 25 (make that 26 - we did them all too!) children and moms you know they are easy to make and fun to do. There's also a section on how to get a group of moms to do a bag swap thus saving time and money. All you need to make this a reality is included - FUN! I love it! ~ Product Review by Lorrie Flem - www.TEACHMagazine.com     "How do we occupy our preschoolers while we're doing school with our older children?" is a cry heard from homeschooling mothers around the globe. Preschool Activities in a Bag meets that challenge head on! This 120-page laminated, coil-bound book is well worth the retail price. This book provides specific instructions, materials lists, masters, and helpful hints to make up 33 different activity bags for your preschooler. Bags cover such skills as matching, ordering, color recognition, left-right awareness, artistic creation, hand-eye coordination, and more. Each activity in the book has been assembled by a test mom and tested by at least 25 preschoolers. In fact, the authors included a couple of sample bags in my review packet, and my preschooler loved them! The authors of this book go the extra mile by sharing specifics and including resources for a bag swap. A swap allows a group of moms to save time while receiving several activity bags at once. Each mom makes several of one bag and then swaps with the other group members. This allows you to purchase and prepare for ONE activity while receiving the number of bags as moms who participate. If 20 moms participate in your swap, you'll end up with 20 different activity bags. The details included in the swap directions make it virtually foolproof. The authors cover everything from setting dates to the follow-up meeting and include a participation form listing who will provide which activity and a sample cover letter for participants. ~ Product Review By: Dena Wood, The Old Schoolhouse Magazine, LLC www.oldschoolhousemagazine.com

Preschool Activities in a Bag Book 1 (yes, that means there’s 2 more on the way) has instructions for assembling 34 preschool activities that are self-guided and self-correcting. What that means is that the preschooler can do the activity by himself and know if the activity was done correctly. These activities were developed so the preschooler could do them with no help from Mom. They are, of course, enhanced if someone actually sits down and helps the preschooler with the activities. These activities are fun for the preschoolers, but also educational. They help develop hand/eye coordination, alphabet and number recognition and order, pencil skills, cutting skills, patterning, sorting, matching and many other skills. The book also contains step-by-step instructions for conducting a swap, which is the most fun and economical way to assemble the activities.
