PRAISE FOR THE GIANT BOOK OF CREATIVITY

"Parents today need a very special kind of help. They want their children to spend time on things other than technology. But what can they suggest as an alternative? Bobbi Conner's latest book, The Giant Book of Creativity for Kids, provides the answer of what to do instead! It is a parent's perfect go-to guide for ideas that spark creativity and fully engage a child's mind."

—Jill Stamm, PhD, author of Bright from the Start

"A treasure trove of creative ideas, games, songs, and activities for children of all ages."

— David Elkind, PhD, author of The Power of Play and Parenting on the Go 

"Don't fret about how children today are spending too much time on electronics and commercially produced toys. Run, don't walk, to get a copy of The Giant Book of Creativity for Kids.

The ideas are easily and quickly doable—even for the busiest parents—and are all low- to no-cost, but the rewards will be priceless."
