Give Me Five 5 minute easy fun games

This book has great ideas that do not take extra time or items to set up. They are sensible and easy to play. The kind of activities that make you say, "Of course, that's a great idea!" Five Minutes, that"s perfect! Mom's are busy and this book is like a play therapist when you need something the kids enjoy to occupy them!! Thank you for this book!

Pages are in color- plenty of ideas to do as is or vary - wide range of toddler and preschool ages included

Do yourself a favor and buy the book! Fabulous ideas for those with small ones at home. I love being able to choose an idea, set up quickly and have some fun. A fabulous way to be able to stop mindlessly scrolling for play ideas and just turn right to one. The ideas are wonderful and then lead to so much more imaginative play and learning. My daughter and I have shared many laughs and memories that began with ideas shared in this book. Thank you!

I felt the intro to the book was a bit false advertising- almost all of these activities are about number and letter recognition, and they are games you play WITH your child in order to help them do each game correctly. I was hoping for a book with ideas for kids 1-5 to set up for them to engage more independent And to spark imaginary play...or sensory play ideas? these are not that, and are very much focused on “teaching” your kids , and really nothing for pre letters and numbers kids to enjoy- also not activities for them to just have fun and keep them occupied, it all requires your attention to see if they are doing the “games” correctly . Nothing wrong with that but not what I was expecting!

I bought this book for inspiration of quick activities for my young boys that also incorporate some “accidental” learning. The boys are really enjoying the activities we’ve tried so far and they are quick to set up with resources we can find in our house. Definitely recommend to parents or caters of young kids.

Is a bit deceiving. There are about 5 activities for 1+ in the whole book and they aren't even age appropriate. I don't know about the author's kids but my 13m old can't spell her name yet (rolls eyes). I have nothing to say about the other activities mentioned for older age groups. Expensive book which cannot be returned. Do not buy if your child is under 2.

First impression only: it is not sorted by age, so I will lose more than 5 minutes to find which activity is suitable for my 2years old baby... And you have to check every single page for the age indication. So I'm very disappointed that there is no easy way to pick a suitable activity randomly.

Absolutely fantastic. I’ve followed five minute mum on Instagram for a while and used her website lots but it is so nice to have all of her wonderful games and ideas in one place. The ideas are so good and the fact that everything is pretty much set up using things you have around the house is just brilliant. It just makes it so accessible for every time. My little boy (aged 4) absolutely loves the games we have played so far. He will now actually request the ones he wants! And will usually play them over and over again. The ideas are so wonderfully simple yet engaging and it is such a great tool for mums. It will last us ages as the games and ideas are so adaptable for different ages and concepts. I am so glad I bought this book. It makes life as a mum much easier and makes you feel great for setting something up that your children enjoy so much! I’ve loved seeing my little engage with the games in this book. They’ve definitely helped to prepare him for starting school and the best thing is he doesn’t even realize he is learning!!

A well organized book with fantastic ideas
