Helpfully divided into four thematic chapters—"Outdoor and Adventurous," "Science and Nature," "Arts and Crafts," and "Rainy Day"—this interactive book contains 101 fun activities and traditional pastimes that are a must for young, intelligent boys and girls keen to explore the world and learn new skills. It also contains space to tick off and rate each activity as they are completed. This book is guaranteed to encourage you to switch off the TV and shut down the computer and instead engage in hours of old-fashioned fun (and a little bit of mischief).
