Member-only story
Summer is here! We always have a big box of activity books in the house-admittedly, sometimes a bit too many-so it’s easy for the kids to grab one when they’re looking for something to do, whether that’s at home or on a long car ride. Here’s a stack of books that’ll keep your kids entertained and (in some cases) educated!
This workbook, suitable for ages 4 and up, presents lots of different writing prompts, and then space for kids to write (or draw!) their answers. The instructions explain how the book can work for kids at varying levels of ability: they may need a helper to read or write for them, or they might be in the beginning stages of writing on their own and just sounding things out. If they’re already writing, the book gives just a few tips on editing to make their stories even better.
The book is narrated by an alien named Zap, who suggests various scenarios: pretend you have a spaceship, and think about what you’d pack for an adventure. Then draw what you would see if you flew over your home on your way into space. Pretend to have a conversation with Zap on the phone. Pretend you have a superpower-what is it, and what do you do with it?
