workbooks

I certainly don't think workbooks should take the place of a parent or teacher for learning but often they can be a fun way to reinforce concepts. My son (who is 2 1/2) loves "playing school" on occasion and working with the pre-printed activities.

I found these wonderful books yesterday at Walgreens. They say ages 4-6 but I think much younger kids could use them with adult assistance. I'm going to try the shapes and colors book with my 1 1/2 year old today. The best part about the books.....they were $2.99 each. There are several different kinds for different ages.....worth a try!
