"Inspirational, practical and stylish, this beautiful book is a sure-fire boredom-banisher"
Covering a brilliant blend of indoor and outdoor activities that’ll exercise brains and bodies, Mary Richards’ What Can I Do? is sure to banish boredom, spark conversation and provoke thought and fun across its 70 entertaining ideas.
With activities spanning craft, design, writing, drawing, creating secret codes, and physical activities, including acting and yoga, this is a book that can be dipped into during a long holiday, or across dozens of weekends, with something for every mood, for every kind of child. Better still, many of the activities offer opportunities for long-lasting engagement – the book features plenty of meatier projects to get stuck into, from putting on a show, to creating a newspaper.
Each spread is beautifully-designed, and explains how to get started, with handy hints and tips, plus a “Did you know?” box that adds depth. For example, the “Create a Newspaper” task reveals that the first newspapers were made of silk, while the “Draw a Self-portrait” activity shares fascinating facts about Frida Kahlo.
