Title: 5 Stars for Ideas -- 0 Stars for Safety consideration
Review: This books contains wonderfully creative ideas.However, some of the "tools" Kuffner suggests you work with should only be given to a toddler under close supervision or not at all. There are comprehensive lists of everyday household items to let the toddler play with, and some of them are big NO NOs; i.e. bottle caps, buttons, bubble wrap. The bottle caps must be large enough so a toddler cannot get it in his/her mouth and the same for the buttons. Very few buttons are made that large. Bubble wrap could be fun for an older child, but it's kind of like playing with your puppy with a shoe. What happens when you are not around? The puppy often gets the shoe and destroys it. Bubble wrap could be a choking hazard. Those are just examples from the letter "B" that she has listed. This may all be common sense to most people, but if not, the possible consequences could be deadly.I think the book should be reworked with an eye for safety and then it is ok.
