Teach Me to Do It Myself (front flap)
Child's Play contains more than sixty activities to help parents enjoy, encourage, and assist in their child's key developmental stages. The emphasis is on fun and play as your child begins to explore the surrounding world.

Divided into six chapters, the book explores the development of the senses, coordination, art, movement, language, and nature. The activities are simple to set up and follow, and they require no specialized knowledge or materials. Templates that relate to the activities can be found at the back of the book.

With engaging ideas to improve movement, dexterity, creativity, and memory, Child's Play offers infants and parents the chance to play together while learning and developing the child's key early skills and abilities.
