Book Review - The Amazing Activity Handbook

What a great book for parents to share with their kids! I was at the book store yesterday and found the most amazing book on clearance for only $9.99! It is called the "Amazing Activity Handbook". It has four sections: Indoor games, Things to make and do, Outdoor Games and Fun on the Move. The suggestions are simple but there are games and activities that will bring you back to your childhood. Port-starboard, Cat's Cradle and Tiddlywinks are just a few suggestions of games with instructions. There are tons of really easy-to-make crafts and my favourite section is "Fun on the move".

We go on many long roadtrips with our two kids so this section is invaluable! Animal, vegetable or mineral? Twenty questions(recommended for kids 7+) is a great game to point out interesting things on your trip. Word association games, storytelling games and travel songs are all ways you can have fun with your kids on your next trip.

I give this book a 9 out of 10. The layout, easy to read content and simple but fun suggestions make this book a great resource. You could bring it on your next trip or quickly reference it at home when you are lacking inspiration in the craft and game department.

More info about this book at Amazon.ca
