mom review: Recipes for Play
TEXT Kate Schwarz
Y ou’ll appreciate this book’s
infusion of fun, engaging
activities during the end of the
cold and snowy winter, when

of surrendering the remote and allowing
way too much screen time, open the pages
of Recipes for Play: Creative Activities for
Small Hands and Big Imaginations! for some
fresh ideas for you and your children.

wandering fingertips. Each child wonders
what the things around him or her feel
like, taste like and how things work. The
authors also believe playing is not just a
way to pass the time for kids; rather, it’s
the main way young children learn.

I agree wholeheartedly.

The introduction also includes an
explanation of why and how the book is
geared towards children’s senses. Each
of the activities has one or more small
photographs of an ear, nose, eye, hand or
mouth to alert the parent/caregiver/teacher
to the senses on which that activity focuses.

The activities in the book are divided
into three main categories. Here are
