My thoughts:

This is a gorgeous activity book, perfect for young people and the young at heart too. Each page has different groups of objects for the reader/artist to draw in the 9 boxes on the opposite page. Categories include books, front doors, vehicles, hands, trees, dogs and many more.

As we are currently being encouraged to stay safe by staying apart, children’s birthday parties have had to adapt. If my daughter was at primary school at this stage, I would have ordered one of these books for each of her friends as part of an online birthday party activity. It could also be a fun online family challenge – including family from across the country and from different generations.
