Where are the effects felt? How can the best ones be chosen? The book then offers a wide variety of practical activities which are both fulfilling and fun. The activities are primarily aimed at children between one and five and include: Singing - Movement and Mime Plays - Stories - Prayers - The Quiet Moment - Exploration of the elements - Crafts and homemaking activities - Games to introduce numbers and reading
