So we are finally on our Easter break, seems like most of the world started last week, so I apologise if it rains from now on. Monkey and I are going to be doing a fair bit of travelling around over the next couple of weeks. I wanted something that would keep him entertained in the back of the car whilst I’m busy driving up and down motorways. The new Travel Activity Book from Button Books will hopefully do just that.
Published last week, the Travel Activity Book follows on from the London Activity book we’ve reviewed previously. This 76 page book is full of different activities aimed at keeping children aged 5-11 occupied in the holiday season.
The book features two sets of 18 pages of activities, meaning that two children could make use of this book at the same time. The pages peel off, so you could split the book in two to start with, as you complete each page, or leave it as one book, the choice is your’s.There are also 8 pull out and colour postcards at the back.
With colouring pages, dot to dot and I spy to name a few of the activities, each page has a holiday feel to it. You can make a check list of things to pack in your suitcase, create your own airline and identify the different types of cloud. My son is fascinated by the clouds, so this particular page has gone down very well. There’s also a page featuring different time zones across the world, so we’ve tried to work out what time it is where friends and family live across the globe. The Travel Activity Book is fun to complete, but there’s also an educational aspect which I like.
Monkey’s been particularly intrigued by the idea of designing his own ice cream and ice cream toppings. We’re off to seaside later this week so he’s saving been trying to decide which flavour he’ll be tracking down when we arrive!
We’ll be going on a few adventures without Daddy P, so Monkey’s taking his Travel Activity Book with us, so he can complete different pages to show his Daddy when we get back. Really lucky people might even get sent a personalised post card or a framed picture!
