Looking for Fun Summer Activities? 101 Things To Do Before You Grow Up: Fun activities for you to check off your list: BOOK REVIEW

Tweet

FTC Disclosure: Book received at no charge from publisher in exchange for an honest review.

The long awaited summer vacation finally arrives and it's not long before you hear, "I'm bored." Either that or those young ones can't seem to get away from video games. It's enough to make any parent crazy. With activities like making rock candy and putting together a survival kit, children will want to get off the couch and start their active bucket list.

Spiral bound pages make the book easy to keep open while going over instructions and gathering supplies. Most supplies can be found around the house or purchased inexpensively. While some things are not unique, like playing charades, and others are not activities but educational opportunities, like learning about the seven wonders of the world, there are enough ideas that will keep the reader captivated for weeks. Even parents will want to join in on learning new dance moves. For those few activities that might worry a parent or bore a child, the pages make it easy to glue your own activity over the top.

A good book for summertime fun.

The Super Book for Super Heroes: Review and Giveaway

Tweet

Book received at no charge to facilitate review.

What "child" hasn't dreamed of having super powers and saving the world? The Super Book For Super Heroes allows children of all ages to create the own super hero universe by providing endless hours of creative activities aimed at drawing the ultimate super hero and villain with gadgets a plenty. 

Readers can create a Secret Code Wheel and learn to send secret messages on their way to becoming an expert on all super powers. Just the right combination to create their own super hero and giving that hero just what he needs to save the world.

My child's creation

 With easy to follow instructions, the reader can create super heroes in all shapes and sizes. It would be wise to watch out for the villains as they are out in force as well. The best super heroes are nothing without a nasty villain to conquer. What type of villain will you create? One that can be easily conquered or one who nearly destroys the world before your super hero uses every last drop of energy and power to eke out victory? Only time and your imagination will tell.

It doesn't take a child good at art to enjoy the Super Book for Superheroes. Ready to assemble masks and an array of super hero stickers give a jump start to those who might feel timid about drawing. Step by step illustrations slowly build confidence in their own creative endeavors. A great activity book to pull a child away from the T.V. and video games. Just be sure to keep the refrigerator clear and have plenty of magnets handy for all of the cool displays that will appear proudly on its doors.
