My children are 19 and 16 now, so they didn't necessarily benefit from this particular book. But my mom recently adopted two little ones, ages 4 and 6, and they loved it! The lesson plans are easy to follow and really engage a child's mind.I homeschooled both of my kids, and loved every moment of it. I was so glad I was on the receiving end of all of those "aha" moments.I love how the author, Courtney, treats arts and crafts as an educational experience. She leaves a lot of her personality in the book in little tidbits like "Have your child help you make a piggy bank for everyone in the house who is not going to eat the coins." Little bits of humor really helped the book come to life for me.I also love how she gives parents a little to-do list when teaching children how to help with household chores. Many parents assume their child understands how things work automatically, but parents always have to be there for guidance.I can't wait to get my new little brother and sister more involved with the lesson plans Courtney has laid out here. I can honestly recommend this book for all parents or caregivers who enjoy the "aha" moments during a child's learning experiences.
