Please Touch

Please Touch is a book designed for parents who want to stimulate their child’s creative development through movement, music, art and play.

This book provides an easy-to-use format, organized by age and by each of the four essential activities – music, movement, art, and play – is accompanied by more than 170 black and white drawings. The book includes:

  • Special projects in each of the four areas that can be shared by the entire family
  • Hints on how to use the everyday world as a creative learning experience
  • Advice on how to pick a preschool
  • Suggestions for fostering creative, noncompetitive friendships between preschoolers and their friends and siblings
  • Advice on toys
  • Chants, songs and games
  • Anecdotes from Susan Striker’s own experience as a mother and as a teacher.

With a rich resource section listing children’s museums and reviewing the best of the children’s books about the arts and imaginative thinking, and including a detailed, illustrated chart depicting stage-by-stage development in drawing, painting, clay, imaginative play, movement, music, and block building. Please Touch will help parents teach their children how to rely on their own ability to solve problems, to develop a sense of fantasy, and above all, to think for themselves. This is a book that is sure to unleash every child’s hidden potential.
