My niece is half Japanese, and we have a few Japanese sticker learning books that my sister gave us (potty training and math related but the same system with reward stickers on the top of the page) She is very motivated and eager to do these booklets. She doesn’t always want to just go page to page, so I might need to sticky note ones she hasn’t completed. She wants to work on tracing, or just stickers, mazes so she will want to skip to whatever skill she wants to continue on. My daughter is 3.5 but has been working on skills in various age brackets. I find that these do have her circle back to some more age appropriate developmentally skill practice. My daughter can write words, but tracing, line practice is important to improve that leap skill she galloped wobbly ahead to. She is not in preschool offically, so I am doing some school activities at home till she’s fully potty trained and allowed to attend. These books are part of her lessons time. I really enjoy that they say the various activities on the cover as some have cross over but others require having other skill tools available. She very much so enjoys the stickers, and she really likes the illustration style, as do I. The stickers are very high quality, I wish that these books were the coated paper her other Japanese booklets are for the sticker reuse, and dry erase effect to return to skills. In I believe this book there was one dual page activity with a dog and a trolly to cut out, she loved that page so much I had to laminate it and the cut out triangles. She also kept a few other cut out activities and has used those in her busy book. We have used this book waiting for food out to eat, and it kept her focused, happy and calm while learning through fun! Review: great educational stater book - highly recommend this to anyone with a toddler! my 2 year old finished this before she turned 3 and we want to try another of the same brand!!! it's amazing and helped her learn numbers and letters!
