Play Guide for Months 16, 17, 18

My 17-month-old was getting bored with the same old toys, and the at-home activity ideas in this guide gave me easy ways to switch things up using stuff we already had. The development info for each month helped me understand why he's suddenly obsessed with stacking and knocking things down.

The activity ideas are perfectly matched to what my toddler is curious about right now—she’s obsessed with the sorting games. The developmental notes helped me understand why she repeats certain actions, which made me feel way more connected to her play.

Our original guide got ruined in a diaper bag spill, and this replacement arrived in perfect condition with all the same activity cards and expert tips inside. The development milestone info for this age range is laid out so clearly that my husband actually reads it now without me asking.
