This book is a companion to my first book, Fun Activities for Playful Learning – The First 3 Years. It is structured in a similar fashion but intended for the little older pre-school child. The aim is to stimulate youngsters through age-appropriate fun activities. I chose to use the feminine form when referring to children for the sake of uniformity throughout the book (and my son is outnumbered in this matter). Some of the information from my first book is included in this book as I do not want new readers to miss out on it. Moms, roll up your sleeves and join in the fun! Since children feel secure when following a routine, it is wise to establish some sort of structure for your daily activities. The daily program supplied merely serves as an example - tailor it to your specific needs or circumstances. A good guideline for a stay-at-home mom is to start out using the schedule for 2 or 3 days a week, and work it up to 5 days a week.
