5001 Things for Kids to Do

Few of the many things kids can do includes:Learn CPRMake a CollageLearn encyclopedia skillsMake your own personal flagRead about Canada, the 2nd largest country in the worldCreate a pet scrapbook or photo albumMake a salad with 5 ingredientsFind Out about a career you might like to haveFind a great pizza recipeMake lunch for your brother or sisterCard GamesAlso included in this book is a partial list of materials/supplies you will need to accomplish an activity

This book will give your kids a list of 5,001 activites to choose from which will keep them occupied for hours in fun, mind-expanding ways. Some activites may require adult supervision while others don't. I recommend this book for children between the ages of 6-18 years. While some activites may be appropriate for a young child, there are activites that are more appropriate for a teenager. While this book has lots of ideas and activities, I felt this book would have been better if the activities were seperated by ages and categories instead of one long list. A sampling of activities includes: learn CPR, illustrate your wall calander, write down your hopes and dreams, make a suggestion to the mayor, make a tower of disposable drinking cups, make up a new card game, cultivate an ant farm, make a salad with 5 ingredients, start a diary you'll really enjoy keeping, make a map of the town, make a "guess the number of" jar and many, many more activities to choose from. While I thought this book was great, I found some activites would be difficult or almost impoosible for a child or teenager to accomplish or some activites that were listed were similar. I also felt some of the activites may be geared to what your child(ren) may be interested in. At the end of the book, it gave a supply list a child may need to accomplish an actvitiy. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for ideas/activities for their child(ren).
