Squish, Sort, Paint and Build is jam-packed with over 200 activities to keep young children actively involved in developmentally appropriate ways. The activities are child-initiated, so children can work and learn at their own level of interest and ability. This essential resource includes information on how to set up 11 learning centers, what skills the children learn by doing the activities and how to simplify the activity for a younger child or make it more difficult for an older child. Most of all, this book is about how to make learning fun and exciting.
