I recently discovered Kumon books and I am so glad I found them! They are really so wonderful; every child should be given these books to have creative fun! LET'S STICKER AND PASTE is part of the Kumon First Steps series, designed for ages 2 and up. I am using these with my son who is 8 yrs. old, and he also is using the Kumon books for older children, and he loves them all! Some children are slower to learn skills of cutting and pasting, holding pencils, etc. These Kumon books are fun and gentle ways to help children develop these skills.LET'S STICKER AND PASTE is a very fun book containing 39 projects. We have worked through most of them. Projects 1-16 are double sided and involve using the enclosed stickers to finish the project. Projects 1-6 have the child freely use the stickers to make a playground scene, pasture scene, bugs on leaves, birds in the sky, a safari scene, fish in an aquarium, etc. Two projects have the child use stickers to dress the boy for winter play, and to decorate the girls apron. And the remaining have stickers the child places at a certain place to cover over the white area on the carrot, apple, orange, cucumber, etc. This is good preparation for being careful and learning correct placement. Projects 17 on use cut outs (parent cuts the objects out) for the child to place and glue onto the picture. I recommend using a glue stick or, our favorite, a ZIG brand glue pen. It's smaller applicator makes applying glue so easy for the child. We bought ours at Walmart in the scrapbooking department. Projects 17 on are printed on one side of the page, and involve the child pasting parts over a watermelon, the face on a horse or fox, the nose on a koala, the beak on the duck, the eyes, nose, and mouth on a panda and pig, etc.
About me: special education teacher, former pre-school teacher, momI 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.
