I want to teach my 2 1/2 year old a new subject every week and also include a craft with the lesson. Can anyone suggest some books that have different learning subjects that will be easy for him to understand? Thanks!

At your son's age, he will love repetition. I'd suggest nursery rhymes and lots of picture books from the library. Your computer can lead in the direction your son wants to go. Concentrate on the simple subjects like rhyming, patterns, colors, counting, and most importantly, language. If he bigs to show an interest in bugs, then work on the preschool skills around bugs, or trains, or dinosaurs, etc. Rather than you planning the subject each week, let it happen naturally through play, zoo visits, books, etc. Best of luck!

You can find toddler books on most any subject. There are also sights where you can down load stories and find great art activities. I do not have those sights right off hand but you can google it. Just type in great stories and art activities for toddlers. I print off stories and papers for my son all the time and great ideas for art activities and even field trips.
Good job for helping your child learn a little early, it will help in the long run.

To get variety, you can consider joining those children book of the month club. You can also find plenty of resources on craft on the internet. For a start, try checking out this site which specially caters for toddler and young children:

You could buy the books that are touch and feel about animals....puppies, bunnies, chicks, lambs...etc. They have fur or whatever texture the animal has and you can teach him animals and he can have hands on learning. Also, buy a baby word book on body parts and then you can show him his body parts at the same time. Also, colors....you could get things of different colors and put them in front of him and buy a book with the colors and show him as you go along so that he develops a connection. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Dr. Seuss books are great. Also Eric Carle books are a favorite too. My girls favorite books have been A Very Hungry Caterpillar and Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See?

Any book is great at this age as children's minds are like sponges. They take in everything and retain it all. He'll surprise you someday when he recites a book that you've read word for word. Kids are absolutely amazing.

Usborne books are a good choice for any age child. They go from birth to teens I believe. My son loves them... he is 14 months. Check out their site. You will love their books.

One of my favorite kids books is "Cloudy with a chance of meat balls". It is just a great story, the pictures are great, and afterwards, you guys could make spaghetti and meatballs together.
