Hardback - £6.99

We have seen - and owned - books of activities for children, but this one seems different.

The price of 6.99 GBP is affordable for most - not much more than half a dozen ice creams - and will last a lifetime!

Beginning with ideas of things to collect "for a rainy day" the following 40+ pages are crammed full of exciting ideas, most of which cost next to nothing.

Some of the activities such as knitting or weaving, could keep a child busy for hours and most will produce toys which should last - such as dolls house furniture or puppets.

The biscuits however, will no doubt disappear at the end of a thoroughly enjoyable and worthwhile rainy day.
