Preschool Color & Activity Book: With Pictures to Color, Puzzle Fun, and More! (Color and Activity Books) Paperback – Sticker Book, May 10, 2011

I got this for my almost 2.5 year old, and he loves it! The stickers are clear and bright, are good quality and shiny. They are large enough for small fingers, and although can be ripped if not peeled from the sheet properly, most of them are blobby shaped so it minimizes the potential for ripping. Each page is clear and concise on activity, suitable for a 2-year-old. There is a good mix of different activities, using stickers, crayons, with many teaching opportunities for counting, learning colors, naming objects, etc. Also, the stickers can be repositioned many times on the page; it comes off smoothly, even though it sticks very well to the page. All major pluses in my book. My ONLY criticism would be that.. I wish the sticker pages were detachable, since my toddler tends to go straight for the sticker pages and peel them off. I usually remove the sticker pages so we can work together on the activities using stickers, but the pages are difficult to take out since they're not perforated. I had to tear them out.. which was fine. But still.. I highly recommend this activity book; my toddler was kept busy for over an hour. I'm about to buy the others in this series; I hope they're of the same high standard and quality.

My three year old loves this. I actually cut the binding off the book so I can give her individual pages to work on one at a time. There's no way she would just look through all those stickers and pick the correct ones out (without picking out and sticking lots of others first). So we do the activities together. The stickers aren't really reusable, per se, but they unstick good enough to restick once or twice more. She likes that. She is learning about colors and how to circle objects right now, although the matching pages are beyond her abilities at the moment, so I change that activity a little to suit her. I had thought that the fact that the pages have a lot of color on them already that she wouldn't like to color on them....but just the opposite has proven true. She likes these pages better than standard coloring books. The pages are sturdy and stiff so that even markers are fine on both sides of the paper without bleeding through. Really my only two negatives are 1) I wish that the pages were perforated for easy removal and 2) there were two pages I ended up throwing away because one was a witch (the child is supposed to draw a hat on her head) and a haunted house with ghost stickers and eyeballs and stuff. She's three. She doesn't understand that stuff and I will protect her little heart and mind from that garbage until she is old enough to grasp those concepts. I don't like that stuff, but like I said, it was easily fixed by me just throwing those pages away. Highly recommended and when she's worked her way through all the pages I will be hoping and looking for more books like this from this company.

High quality paper and stickers. Nice to find something so age-appropriate for toddlers (mine is 2.5 years old). Note that it's not the sort of activity book that you can just hand them and let them run solo with it. With each page, the child will need some guidance, but the activities are great at skill development and language building. I've been doing these with my daughter and as she works on each page and tells me what she is seeing and doing. I think the guided activities would be particularly handy next time someone comes to visit who isn't intrinsically good with little kids (we have some friends and family members who fall in that category) or to take on a plane ride. A lot of thought went into these activities, and I highly recommend this book for some quality time with a little one.

This is a great starter book! If you are looking for a beginner activity book for your toddler and are just starting out, this is a good one. This mostly has match the two people, connect the dots, circle the one that doesn't belong, as well as coloring and stickers! What toddler doesn't love stickers?My little guy can't quite hold a crayon properly and has trouble controlling it. Most of the other books I had found had a lot of tracing, and it was small letters. He's still in the scribbling stage, so the small letters were hard for him. This book has no tracing, but he really enjoys connect the dots.The pictures are big and give him lots of room to scribble or draw a huge circle around something. Since he's not able to control his crayon yet, he needs that extra space.The stickers are awesome. They are not super sticky and are easy to peel off in case they get put in the wrong place (a window, the table, tv, couch, etc).I only wish the book were longer. It seems really short. Some of the activities, especially the sticker ones, are too short by themselves, so you have to add more to it (how many apples, what color are the fish, how many red fish, where is his nose, where's your nose, etc) instead of just putting the stickers on the page.

I bought this book for my almost 3 and a half year old because he likes to do "homework" when his older brothers are doing theirs. This book is a good beginner workbook, teaching him to follow the directions on the page(not circle every picture, just the one they ask and the connect the dots was new to him too) and sit and do actual work. As far as the contents go, I feel like it is a little too easy for him but I like that since it's his first workbook and I want him to really work on his fine motor skills and following the directions. His favorite pages are the ones where you have 4 characters on each side and you have to draw a line matching the characters, way too easy for him but awesome for practicing pencil control. The first time he did it, the pencil was wobbly and yesterday when we did it, just a couple weeks later, his lines were smooth and direct. Overall, a great first book with a wide variety of activities to keep the child interested.
