Simply Wonderful!
I bought this book when I started my Day Care business, and needed ideas for simple puppets.This book turned out to be the best out of a series of books I purchased in terms of offering ideas for me and the children.I really like that the ideas for the puppets are based on simple materials that you can find anywhere - including leftover supplies in your own home, like toilet paper rolls or orange juice cans.This teaches children to be resourceful and productive, and to use their imaginations. A Must-Have!
Simple Puppets from Everyday Materials by Barbara MacDonald Buetter (New York: Sterling Publishing Co, Inc. 1998) is a great resource for imaginative construction of puppets.There is a strong focus on the use of recycled materials.She recommends keeping a box of such materials as paper tubes and plastic tabs just for such projects (and at last I've found a use for all the junk I've been saving!) and lists a slew of materials found in everyday life. These materials are great for use in the classroom since they are so easy to accumulate.The teacher can save such materials and send out a "wish list" to parents to encourage children to recycle and to use their imaginations to solve 3-dimensional building and visual problems.

I love koosh; kooshy at it's finest!!
John Cassidy is a genius.His games and activities related to all things koosh are top notch.There is nothing better in the world of koosh then to be blindfolded with some friends playing 'Where's the Koosh at.'That is one of my all time favorites and I have great memories from it.I would have never discovered this engrossing activity if it wasn't for the superior intellect of Mr. Cassidy. This game also led to my meeting of my current wives.

"Exotic" Japanese images for Japanese eyes
I'm a Japanese and I bought it as a souvenir for my foreign friend, but I gave up. These images look quite "exotic" to Japanese eyes. Faces of the dolls and cloths, especially Kimono. I got the same feeling as whenI saw "Japanese" in American movies like "Rising Sun"or "Gun-ho".A bit exaggerated images of Japanese. If theseimages were from 1950's, they might do�c Read more
