Description
About the book. The Big Book of Plane Activities brings together over 80 word and picture tasks themed around planes and aviation. Lonely Planet Kids combines plane facts with activities that children fill in themselves. This provides plenty of different tasks to choose from when filling the time before departure, during the journey, or on a quiet day at home.
Content. The content includes word searches, crosswords, mazes, hidden pictures, dot-to-dot, and colour-by-numbers. In the sample pages, you’ll find an airport word search, boarding pass tasks, and drawing the contents of a suitcase. Other pages use planes and shadows as a starting point for examining the pictures. Aviation facts accompany the play with words, numbers, and shapes.
Who is this book suitable for? For children who are curious about planes and enjoy activity books with variety. The tasks can be solved individually, making it easy to take a break and continue later. English words and instructions make it useful to have help from an adult when needed. Have writing and colouring supplies on hand, and let the child choose between drawing, searching, or trying a word task.
Use and activities. Read the instructions together with an adult when English words need explaining, and let the child choose a task that seems exciting. Set aside a small workspace and gather what you need for the chosen activity before starting. It’s good to take one page or one project at a time, with time to try out solutions of their own. Let the child explain their thinking, and use the illustrations as support when understanding a task. Feel free to switch between word tasks, drawing, and other activity types if the child wants variety or a short break. The activities can provide a starting point for conversations in Norwegian, even though the instructions and labels in the product are in English. It can be just as interesting to explore a suggestion together as to finish all the tasks at once.
