Description

From the Emmy-winning author of Yoga for Chickens and The World Almanac for Kids, Mama�s Little Book of Tricks boasts over 100 inventive, simple, inexpensive and fun activities that will keep kids entertained for hours.

Any parent will be able to find some kind of activity for any time or place with this guide. While dining out, for example, kids can learn how to hang a spoon from their nose or make impressions with straws. Outdoor activities range from whistling with a blade of grass to measuring the distance from a storm to making a technicolour snowman. And indoors, kids can create a paper fortune teller, recycle their crayons or make a sock puppet.

Presented in a recipe style, the wide array of silly games, physical stunts and creative art projects uses materials that are close at hand or no materials at all, making them perfect for restaurants, waiting rooms and long plane rides. There are sections on the arts, science, the outdoors and public spaces, along with real scientific facts, riddles and jokes, and illustrations that are both inspirational and instructive.

With a hip but sweet design, this little handbook makes it easy for parents to combat the dreaded �I�m bored.�
