Superbly Stunning Dorling Kindersley Sticker Books… A GiveAway…

We did say that we would have GiveAways on our blog all week long… Let’s take a look at todays GiveAway: Dorling Kindersley has the most amazing sticker activity books on earth… a whole series of them in fact:

These might look like a couple of Sticker books… but they are not!!! Or should I say “not just sticker books.” These books are simply stunning, I was hard pressed to hand them over to my kids and would happily have kept them for myself!!! They are filled with facts and things to do and are a wonderful starting point for exploring a topic that your children might be interested in. My kids vanished into these books for hours, in fact I don’t think they have returned yet!!! 250 stickers in each book and lots and lots of ways to use them means hours and hours of fun. I liked the variety of sticker activities, I liked that some of them were quite prescriptive and they needed to follow the directions, and other activities where they could be as creative as they liked. I liked that even if the topic could have been a little “pink” like the princess book, there was nothing piffling inside the covers… hunts for real frogs amongst the queens pets and cards about all sorts of ponies, not to mention a page on ball room dancing meant not just glitz and glamor and wearing pink at all!!!

I thought we could show you a little tour of these amazing books and at the same time look at Se7en + 1 quick and easy ways to examine a topic that your children are wild about:

  1. Craft Something: A crown fit for a princess… filled with pearls and gems and lots of scope for creating!!!

  3. Dress Up: Pick and choose from some Princess outfits, because there is nothing like wearing an outfit to make you feel the part…

  5. Create some Fact cards: My kids really enjoy making little fact cards when they get on to a topic they enjoy… and different shark cards make the perfect past time.

  7. Go on an Outing: What about shark-diving… not my personal choice of outing, but some folk think this is the best outing ever!!!

  9. Take a Tour: Whatever intrigues your child there should be a related tour, here’s a peak at our castle tour…

  11. Have a Feast: This is usually our first port of call when we start looking at a new topic… food and trying new recipes speaks to my kids heart!!! So here is a medieval banquet, held in the great room of a castle…

  13. Create a Timeline: There is something about timelines that appeals to all of us, just knowing where we fit on the scale of things is fascinating…

    And the se7en + 1th

  15. Make a Board Game: Playing a game relating to your favourite topic is a great way to earn about a new theme…

This GiveAway works in the usual way, comment before the end of 30 September 2012, and we will draw and publish the winners on the 2 October 2012 I won’t respond to your comments as I do on our other posts because I don’t want to be included in our own giveaway.
