About me: special education teacher, former pre-school teacher, mom
I bought this for my almost 3 year old daughter as a Christmas present, but pulled it out one day while we were waiting for dinner to cook. So glad I did---she loved it! She finished 34 activities in one evening (of her own choosing--I'd recommend letting less enthusiastic kids do only one or two at a time).
Pros: Lots of fun spending time working with my little girl. She had fun too and felt proud of herself, so it's great for building self-esteem and increasing skills. Pictures are fun and colorful. We talked a lot about the different animals we saw and I was able to introduce some new vocabulary words by mentioning that the lion had a mane, or that the animals were going on a safari or using binoculars, etc. Good for counting, especially the sticker pages, as well as animal, color, and shape recognition. Each activity has a note for parents regarding the activity or skill being worked on, and the pages increase in skill difficulty. There is a certificate of achievement for when your child finishes the book--my daughter is excited about that.
Cons: There was a distinct jump in skill level required for activities toward the end of the book. My not-quite-3 year old did fine completing a 3 piece picture that had 2 pieces to paste back in, but the next activity was 4 pieces that needed to be put together a certain way to make a complete picture. She didn't quite get it. Also, the pages aren't perforated at the top, so we left them in the book as we worked. This meant the book wanted to keep flopping closed as we got towards the end, but I just put a paperweight on it. It also means that if your child is an enthusiastic gluer the pages will stick together.
May be a con for some: This is definitely an activity book that requires assistance and encouragement from parents. I don't personally view this as a con, but just be aware if you are purchasing it with the intent for your child to work independently. This wouldn't be the right book to give if you need to get some chores done, for instance, unless your child is older and/or already fairly proficient at cutting skills, etc.
There are 39 different pages in this book with different sticker/paste skills to work on. Here is a break-down of the hierarchy used:
1-3: Put stickers anywhere you want to on the page.
4-8: Put stickers in the white area of a picture to complete it. They start with circles, then a triangle and rectangles.
9-25: Glue picture on the white area. Parents need to cut out the shape first; you'll also need to provide your own glue. We used a glue stick.
26-29: Glue multiple pictures onto the page as you like.
30-39: Glue pieces of a larger picture together like a very simple puzzle. The first one has 2 halves of a penguin, while the last one is 6 pieces that fit together to make a snake.
I hope this review helps! I have already decided to order more Kumon books for the kids in her Preschool class as holiday gifts since this one was such a success.
I bought this book for my daughter when she was about 19 months old and we started doing the pages when she was about 20 months. She's now 22 and we've completed the sticker pages and many of the middle pasting pages. Overall, I really love this book and am planning on buying many other books from the series.
For those looking for a fun activity book to keep their child busy on their own - this is NOT that kind of book. It's designed for a parent or caregiver and child to complete *together*. There is a very useful guide in the beginning that clearly outlines the goals of the book and what materials you will need (for example, the pros and cons of liquid glue vs. glue sticks). It's also necessary for the parent to encourage and guide the child, and then once you get to the pasting parts (around page 6 out of 39 activity pages) the parent has to do some serious work cutting out the shapes for the child to paste. Some other reviewers have complained about this, but I actually think it's a great aspect of the book. I spend quality, engaged, time with my child and yes, sometimes she wants to grab the scissors away from me, but is learning to be patient and wait - as she should. There's a lot of learning that goes on with this book - fine motor skills, spatial awareness, understanding orientation, etc. For those who flew threw the book in a day or so - that's not how it's supposed to be used. You're only supposed to do a few pages a day, with the child still excited to do more when you're finished. This is more of an exercise book that teaches children different skills involved in stickering and pasting, which they can then go on to use in other craft activities, beyond the book and into their pre-school years.
Overview of the book:
- First 6-8 pages are sticker pages, where the child pastes stickers randomly/creatively in a scene.
- Next section are large cut outs that have to be placed on a white-space on a scene. The first pages are simple squares and circles, and then become more complex shapes with particular orientations.
- Then there are scenes where you cut out the items to be pasted, and the child can paste them any where they like on the scene.
- The next set of paste activities are more like puzzles. It begins with two piece puzzles, pasting one long picture strip onto a long white space. But the child must work to line up the pictures and put it in the correct orientation. The activities then progress in complexity to 3 piece puzzles, then 4 piece puzzles, then 4 pieces that are triangle-shaped, and finally 6 piece puzzles.
- At the end of the book is a certificate of achievement.
- There is also a thick back page made of cardboard with a glossy laminate that can be used as a "drawing board" with water-based markers.
Overall, I am extremely pleased with this purchase and highly recommend these books to other parents of toddlers. Lastly, if you purchase this book definitely read the intro for parents; you will get a lot more out of the book that way.
I bought this for my 2.5 year old thinking it'd be half sticker activities and half gluing activities. In reality, there are only a few pages of stickers, and 90% of the book is pasting. I was hoping that this book would provide lots of opportunities for my son to do independent stickering while I tend our newborn, but he blew through that in 20 minutes (and wanted more!) and I'll have to cut out the rest. It's nice quality for what it is, but I wish there were many more sticker pages.
I bought the Gakken activity books on sale at a local book store and my 2 year old loved them. The sticker and paste book has a ton of stickers (so she doesn't blow through them in just a few sittings), and the cutting is very simple.
These Kumon books are great in theory, however, there are only a few actual "sticker" pages and the rest need to be cut out and pasted. Here is my problem with their cut and paste sections - They say on the page the cutting should be done by a parent. And the cutting is serious precision cutting, like pairs of socks and tiny shapes. Even the circles are a bit difficult because you can't really cut a perfect circle in such a hurry. And I say "hurry" because my daughter starts to lose interest as I am spending so much time cutting out shapes!
The Gakken cut and paste books have large blocks at the foot end of the page so you an easily cut just a few straight lines. These Kumon books put the objects randomly in the middle of the page so you have to cut into each page and literally cut out objects like shoes and animals (with lots of dips and turns).
I love these books in theory but they require too much work on the parent's part!
My 2 1/2 year old daughter has really enjoyed this book. She sat down and worked (with me) on it for about 40 minutes the first day I got it out. An eternity for my very active child. However, it required me to cut up into each page and cut out shapes (that get more and more "complex") for her to paste. I knew it would require my assistance but my cutting takes MUCH longer than her pasting. She loved the sticker pages (which were super cute - putting scarf, mittens and boots on a little boy was my favorite) and she could do those (mostly) by herself. However, IMO, there weren't enough sticker pages - she went through all of those on our first sitting. All said, she really does enjoy the book, I just wished it was formatted where you could punch out the pictures to be pasted - she might would even learn another skill that way!
