Long story short: DS did an "activity book" on a busride. SHORTEST. BUSSRIDE. EVER. The child was enthralled. It was stickers and matching (basically a puzzle, but with stickers), some colouring, and some circling.

Despite myself, I now intend to get him some more such booklets, because, well, he liked it. Even if I was a bit embarrased. I could just get the rest of that series, but I thought I'd ask for recomendations on what to look for in activity booklets for the itsy bitsy set? He can't DO much yet (1.5 yrs) -- but I didn't think he'd be able to do any of the stuff in this thing, either. So I'm feeling like I'm missing the boat here.
