The Siblings’ Busy Book: 200 Fun Activities for Kids of Different Ages, by Lisa Hanson and Heather Kempskie; Meadowbrook Press, 2008; $9.95; www.meadowbrookpress.com.

Ever wonder how to simultaneously engage two, three, or more children of different ages without cloning yourself? This book offers a slew of imaginative activities that really work: each starts with a useful chart specifying what you’ll need for each child by age, from infant through school age, and then provides variations for doing the activities with different ability levels.



“The information, crafts and ideas are geared right to my kids’ ages. I love being able to have resource books when I need fun and creative things to do with my kids.”

– Mom Tester



“I like the small size of the book. It’s easy to pack in the car for trips.”

– Mom Tester
