An established expert on early childhood development, Barron presents 60 fun and engrossing activities for parents to do with their preschool children. Each simple project can be done using ordinary household objects and is designed to develop the skills necessary to succeed in school. The development objective is clearly explained for every activity along with advice on how to tailor it as the child grows older. The focus is on such math concepts as seriation and sequence, one-to-one correspondence, measuring and quantity.
