SEEK AND IMAGINE

Everyday Items → Endless Fun

Why play this way?

This activity invites children to explore and challenge their perceptions of the world around them. By examining everyday objects—looking at their size, shape, color, and texture—your little one will practice thinking critically and flexibly. Connected to the themes in your new book, this play reveals a world full of endless possibilities, and fosters a deeper appreciation for how the ordinary can be truly extraordinary.

associated activities are amazing!
"They not only help my grandson see the relationship between an exciting subject and the real-world principles involved, but they also strongly personalize the experience for him. He learns that reading is fun, and that learning satisfies his natural curiosity."

Looking forward to gifting these again!
"I have always gifted books at birthdays and these felt like a natural extension of the gifts I already give. It's nice to also be able to give my friends something that comes with additional activities they may not have thought to do."
