There are some parents who always have crayons, bubbles, and homemade play-doh on hand. Their children are adept at drawing, cutting, and pasting, can reliably kick a ball, and are the first to join in the games at birthday parties. To these lucky kids a homemade birthday cake in the shape of a tyrannasaurus rex is no big deal. Their parents do not need to read Unplugged Play.
For the creatively challenged among us, however, this is a great resource for making your time together count. It's filled with hundreds of articles with activities for ages 1-10, each with a sidebar giving the number of children needed, indoor/outdoor location, and materials needed. I especially like the fact that it is organized into three age ranges, printed so the sections are visible on the fore edge so a harried parent can flip the book open and start looking for ideas. There is an introductory chapter describing the benefits of non-media play, and appendices with suggestions for family game night and materials to keep on hand.
Some of the activities require materials you may not have, and many will not fit the personality or specific interests of your children, but the book provides a wide variety of options to satisfy most needs. It may be especially handy when caring for children you do not know well or who are a different age than you are used to. Because of its exhaustive content, it's probably best treated as a source of inspiration rather than a to-do list, and after using it for a few weeks as creative "training wheels," parents and children may find that they no longer need it.

This book is filled with fun ideas. Some of them are games that you probably played with as a child such as hopscotch or some variation on hide and seek. Most of the ideas are original, creative, ways to have fun with your children. I particularly liked that this book was broken up into ages so that you could easily find games for younger children or older children without paging through a lot of pages.
Worth the money.
Enjoy.

I bought this as a gift for my sister. She has two toddler boys and is all about 'no tv' in the house. She loves this book for all the ideas it offers families trying to spend time together outside of the tv realm.

This book has solid playtime ideas for toddlers in all different environments. Many things may be intuitive, but you'll be sure to find something good in here for your bored toddler to do indoors. Great book for a library collection!

I have bought 3 copies of this book it is a great idea book for rainy or snow days. I have tried out a bunch of the games with my 5 year old and he has had a really good time.
There are also some good games for birthday parties.
