This children's activity book gives a wide variety of activities with instructions and illustrations on each page.It is designed to entice bored children to spend their spare time creatively and is ideal for a family to keep at hand when school holidays come around. There are old traditional activities such as "Magic String" or "Pom-Poms" which may already be known to the child or the parent, but may have been forgotten about when the child asks: 'What can I do?'You can make things from simple items found around the house - it is indeed aimed at those parents who need to keep costs down when steering their children to keep minds occupied.I would have loved to buy a book such as this for my children when they were younger, and I hope to be able to bring this to many parents who are looking for something similar.
