Summary: Not a Bad Choice for Homeschooling
Review: Although I had trouble finding some of the materials in my household, I had most of them because we homeschool. The book says that most of the materials can be found in a typical classroom, but they are not always commonly found at home....however most of them are not too expensive to buy, especially if you get other parents together and do it as a group. Overall though, I found this to be an excellent book for preschoolers.

Summary: giant book falls short
Review: While the book has plenty to offer, there are many activities that require "every day items in your household" that just are not found in mine. Consequently for my 3 and 5 year old this is my least favorite book. I consider it a good addition to a few others I have and it is fun to pick out things to do each season, but if you can't afford to buy several books, don't make this your only pick. Please note the key words are in the title "more than 600". With that many you are bound to find something for the occasion. The book is easy to read, is well organized and has good instructions.
