Our thoughts
Whilst this book is aimed at those not necessarily wanting to complete maths. We have been utilising it the other way around. An opportunity to showcase the merit of creative studies with a maths element to encourage Tigger. Plus it ticks two boxes in one on his homeschooling schedule so is finished for the day much quicker than before (always an added bonus for a nine-year-old!).
Each activity included within the book offered Tigger the opportunity to test his problem solving and logic skills, all whilst creating some beautiful artwork.
Packed full of different activities which will have children reaching for the colouring pencils, pencils and rulers.
