A Year of Educational Quiet Bins: The secret to peaceful days at home with kids. 1st Edition

Disappointed in the suggestions. I thought that there would be 365 activities. Should be titled seasonal quiet bins as there are a few activities for each season.

The book is organized by seasons. Winter: 9 activities, Spring: 10 activities, Summer: 11 activities, Fall: 9 activities, and Anytime Quiet Bins: 7 activities for a total of 46 ideas.Some ideas are very similar such as button bracelet, blossoming branches, and putting fall leaves on trees are three separate quiet bins but essentially they're all simply placing buttons on pipe cleaners. I was actually motivated to buy this book after seeing the fall branches idea on a blog. I thought it was cute and manageable for my 17 month old & was hoping to get a book full of many more. My expectations honestly weren't met. I read other reviews that said looking on the internet/Pinterest is better. I'm a person that needs physical books as a motivator but I agree that in this case a simple Google Search proved to be better. I'll still be using several of these ideas but I think other books will better appreciated.I just really wanted to like this book because of the author. Kindergarten teacher to stay at home mom with a chicken obsession? Unfortunately, removing that sentiment leaves me wanting.

I am thrilled with this book! It is well thought out, has great ideas, and the pictures make it easy to create. I am very pleased with this purchase!

Very useful book

a very useful child rearing tool

Great ideas!! Quick read for busy moms and teachers. Easy to pull together bins!!

Some great ideas!!

Just got this yesterday and can't wait to get supplies to do some of these activities!! Very cost conscious and fun! Thanks for this great book!

Bought this for ideas for my 18 month old. Lots of really simple and cheap ideas (lots of "why didn't I think of that?" Moments). We are only using a few ideas at the moment, plenty of activities to grow into. Am stealing a few ideas for use in the classroom to develop hand/eye coordination for some children. Start with this book and as you come across more ideas (or develop and adapt these ones) stick it on a sticky note in the book. Highly recommended!

Quite expensive for what it is but there are lovely ideas and I like that they are all in one place.

Thought it will be somehow more comprehensive the book. It looks quite thin and doesn't seem to have too many ideas . In the other hand there are good ideas just not as challenging as I would like

This book was a waste of money and went immediately back. It was literally a book full of ideas like "put some magnetic letters in a bin." There was nothing original or interesting in here. None of the idea would engage my children. You would find way better ideas on Pinterest. Don't waste your time and money. Thank god for Amazon's easy return system.

I am so happy for this idea:) I now do this with my kids at daycare first thing in the morning right after breakfast and during nap time. It's fun to see them focus so well:)
