Packed with more than 250 ideas to keep kids entertained and screen-free, this exciting activity book even includes everything needed to play checkers, chess, and more – way more. Whether it’s a rainy day or a sunny afternoon, there’s plenty to make, play, and do, with a good balance of creative and outdoor activities gathered in one huge illustrated guide, board games and all. From writing a story to building an obstacle course, making paper aeroplanes to learning about recycling, it would be hard to find a child who can’t discover something to enjoy here. Packed with fun facts and rainy (or not so rainy) day activities, it’s the perfect boredom buster for screen-free, on-the-go entertainment, nurturing children’s natural curiosity and imagination. While some activities call for a few craft supplies, plenty more need only imagination or things found around the house or garden, and the book is designed to encourage children to put their own spin on whatever they try. What really sets it apart is the box at the back, containing everything needed to play checkers, chess, and snakes-and-ladders – the playing pieces are made from card, and you even build the dice yourself. Some activities call for an adult to join in the fun, but overall the book offers plenty of freedom and gender-neutral entertainment, encouraging kids to get creative and even dramatic to build confidence and bust boredom in all sorts of ways. With more than 250 awesome things to make and do, this book is the perfect way to put down an electronic device and unleash the power of your brain through challenges, crafts, creative learning, and oh-so-many cool games. Put on a play by writing the script and making props, try classic road trip games like I-Spy and storytelling, perform magic tricks, write a song, or discover all the games you can play with a frisbee – and that’s just the start. A small taste of what’s inside: write a story, make a bee hotel, create an obstacle course, learn some super cool illusions, invent a board game of your own design, and much, much more.
