Colouring pages sit next to puzzles here, which is what keeps a dinosaur activity book working past the first afternoon.
The pages ask a child to look closely as well as fill in: spotting what differs between two scenes, searching for hidden words, matching and completing pictures. That variety spreads the work across different skills, so observation and concentration get exercised alongside hand control. Children can work through it alone or with a parent or older sibling sitting beside them, which changes the pace without changing the book.
Highlights of this edition:
• Dinosaur artwork running through both the colouring and the puzzle pages
• Spot-the-difference and word-search style tasks between colouring spreads
• Activities that reward looking carefully rather than working quickly
• Suitable for holidays, weekends and quiet time at home
A fitting pick for children who love dinosaurs and for parents seeking an alternative to the television, available from Boipoka.
