Now, more than ever, everyone needs KIDFUN ideas. The most routine daily activities are ideal times to interact happily with our children. A brief bit of laughter or a fanciful flight of imagination can turn a trying moment into a bright moment for our child and a happy memory for us. KIDFUN books and other books of activities by Sharla Feldscher were originally published in the 70’s. It is true that KIDFUN works anytime, anywhere and with any generation! They all came from her kindergarten experience.

Two of the better selling KIDFUN books were published in the 90’s by HarperCollins and had foreign translations. The first – The KIDFUN Activity Book – was translated in German. The second – The KIDFUN Activity Book, Expanded Edition – was translated in Russian. Other KIDFUN books were directed to specific themes – like KIDFUN Game Book for the Dentist Office and another KIDFUN Game Book for Ramada Hotels. KIDFUN began as a guide for early childhood teachers

with the book READINESS WEEK BY WEEK published by Grade Teacher Magazine and 148 DO-ITS FOR EARLY LEARNERS published by Instructor Publications. The first book for the general market was HELP! THE KID IS BORED! By Hart Publishing.

Sharla played KIDFUN as a kid herself, shared KIDFUN with her own children, their friends and extended family and today Sharla plays KIDFUN with her granddaughters. It’s always the same – she turns the switch on their creative minds and wonderful ideas are born with the kids as the innovators. She loves to hear, “Grammy, let’s play KIDFUN!” like Sari, now 9, said this year when they played badminton in her living room. It was easy. They tied a rope between two separated chairs for the net. They used paper plates as paddles and a balloon was the “birdie” they passed back and forth over the “net”. What you saw was active play. What you heard was laughter!
