This is an absolutely fabulous resource for those that have small kids or come into contact with small kids and want to wow them (or even just entertain them a bit to keep them from harrassing you). Lots of interesting facts, suggestions for things to do, games to play, kitchen science and challenges for the kids. Covers all sorts of situations, like waiting in restaurants, car and train journeys, parks, sleepovers, parties etc.

I got it when Alexander was very small (under a year) but it is show more coming into its own now that he is at primary school, and the ideas should certainly last all the way to secondary (and beyond, some of it I've tried with groups of adults). show less

Moderately interesting list of tricks and tips for entertaining kids. Most of them are fairly obvious, I haven't found it particularly useful, but it is entertaining.
