Most activities in this book are only appropriate for very young children. I am a fan of Barbara Sher’s other books so I bought this without browsing it first. Many of the ‘300′ activities are chants with various words. For example: “we’ve all got a name, first and last, tell us your name and we will laugh”. Another activity is to let the child smell food flavorings. Fun stuff if you’re 3 but there isn’t much for an 8 year old.

This is a great book to be able to grab when you need an activity. One thing that I really enjoy about B. Sher’s activities is that the are low prep. and you know that anything you find in her book will be of value to the children.

Wonderful book for parents, teachers, baby-sitters, etc. Gave the Hebrew edition (available in Israel) to a friend who enjoyed using it to entertain the children on a trans-atlantic flight. I highly reccomend this book and others by Barbara Sher, including “Extrodinary Games with Ordinary Things”
