Great for Grandparents!
We have 8 grandkids with a wide range of ages and this book is great to help give us ideas to keep everyone entertained.We really appreciate how the author organized everything into themed chapters instead of just having a long list of ideas. We also like the travel chapter, which applies to a lot of scenarios beyond just being at the airport. We look forward to going through and marking our favorite ideas to save to play with our grandkids this summer.

Many Good Ideas to Keep Kids Busy
This is a lovely book with a lot of good ideas to keep my daughter entertained. It is broken down into different sections such as indoor, outdoor, quiet, active, etc, which is helpful and a good reference point. It would have been nice if the book had illustrations, however.

I’m so glad I stumbled upon this amazing book! This book is a parent’s best friend! The way it’s organized by theme is genius, and the author’s explanations on why each theme matters are spot on! I’m in love with the 1000 activities presented here–no more boring and tantrum days for the kids! And that bonus code at the end? CHERRY ON TOP! I’m ready for a more inspired and disciplined life!

Lifesaver for Boredom Emergencies
I grabbed this on a whim and it quickly became my go-to when the kids start getting antsy. The ideas are super quick to scan and donât require fancy supplies, which is a huge win. Iâve used it during road trips, rainy afternoons, and even while cooking dinner. It works for both my younger and older kids, which is rare. If you ever find yourself out of ideas and need fast, fun distractionsâthis little book is gold.

Must have
You always think that you are creating and it is never boring with you until you get a toddler. They will challenge you a thousand ways before breakfast. This book gave us some ideas how to manage the energy of our little one and make our days more interesting and with less fights.

Fun Activities for Young Ones
The author has a very fertile and imaginative mind to be able to come up with so many interesting activities for children! I’m dating myself, but when I was young my mother would ask me to draw an animal to keep me occupied or, if we were on a car trip, make a list of all the different States I saw on car license plates. One of the activities in this book involves the use of a drone! My, how times have changed! The author’s creativity gets 5 stars. I gave the book 4 stars only because I felt it could have benefited from having a few illustrations.

Well more than 101 reasons to keep kids occupied. Most of them I.would ve not even thought about. The good thing about these ways to keep kids busy, you can choose the ones that apply to you and your lot,so many to choose from. Also, there is tips to flip , or read from the end , from the middle, what ever way works for you. In doing so I noticed I was able to extract the ones that I can apply straight away, As such this half term seem to be going smooth, as I have a lot of activities so the word “bored”, is not used. Lovely activities here

Ich bin 41, Vater von zwei Kindern (4 und 9), beruflich sehr eingespannt â und dieses Buch hat mir mehr geholfen,als ich gedacht hätte. :-)ï· – Sehr gut strukturiert in 10 Themenkapitel â meine Favoriten: Indoor, Quiet und Educational.ï· – Viele Ideen lassen sich sofort umsetzen â ideal, wenn man gerade keinen Kopf zum Planen hat.ï· – Besonders stark: Die Kombination aus schnellen âNotfallideenâ und Aktivitäten, die man spontan verlängern kann.ï· – Die leise Murmelbahn im Wohnzimmer mit Büchern war ein voller Erfolg â beide Kinder waren fast 40 Minuten ruhig beschäftigt.ï· – Auch Kapitel Travel hat uns im letzten Urlaub gerettet â mehrere Spiele aus dem Buch im Zug ausprobiert.ï· – Ich habe mir inzwischen ein paar Seiten mit Klebezetteln markiert â etwa 60 Ideen, die ich wiederverwenden werde.- Für Eltern, die funktionierende Ideen ohne viel Aufwand suchen: absolute Empfehlung.

Bin 66, opa von 3 enkelkindern, und oft am wochenende mit ihnen unterwegs oder zuhause.das buch war ein geschenk â und ich habs seitdem nicht mehr aus der hand gelegt.⢠besonders gefallen hat mir das Outdoor-kapitel. da sind viele einfache ideen drin, bei denen man nix mitnehmen muss.⢠auch Seasonal war super â wir haben jetzt im frühling mit den âblütenwünscheâ-zetteln am kirschbaum angefangen.⢠der âflüsterzugâ (weià die nummer nicht mehr) hat uns 10 minuten lachen beschert â ohne dass einer geschrien hat.⢠gut finde ich auch, dass alles so kurz ist â ich kann einfach blättern und brauch keine brille zum mitlesen.echt schön gemacht. erinnert einen daran, wie leicht es sein kann, mit kindern was schönes zu machen.

As a dad of two under 12 and someone who works 50+ hours a week, I donât have time for bla-bla. This book delivers.⢠Each idea takes seconds to read – literally.⢠Most of them can be done with zero prep or basic stuff we already have at home.⢠Iâve marked 42 (from 3 chapters) that I plan to try over the summer.⢠Loved the Quiet and Travel chapters especially – great for winding things down or keeping them busy in airports.⢠Best part? If only 10% of the book works for you, thatâs still 100 activities. Thatâs worth way more than the price.Highly recommended for working parents who want smart, fast options that work.
