Mes Jolie Jeux by Henriette Suzanne Bres, 1900
 
'Mes Jolie Jeux' by Henriette Suzanne Bres was published by Librairie Hachette in Paris in 1900. It is a book of activities for children, but is more in the nature of an aide-memoire of things already known than a book of detailed instructions. Many of the activities are reminiscent of kindergarten occupations, although they are not presented as such.

A full copy of the work can be accessed here.
