The Anti-Boredom Book of Brilliant Outdoor Things To Do

Posted on June 12, 2017 by jenny
With the Summer holidays looming we were sent a copy of The Anti-Boredom Book of Brilliant Outdoor Things To Do by Andy Seed to read.
The outdoors are boring right?
WRONG!
The Anti-Boredom Book of Brilliant Outdoor Things To Do

From the hilarious Andy Seed, Winner of the Blue Peter Book Award 2015 for Best Books with Facts comes the fantastically busy Anti-boredom Book of Brilliant Outdoor Things to do. Suitable for all seasons, find out how to set bug traps, create a rainbow, construct an amazing summer slide and much, much more!

But what about those rainy summer days we hear you cry? Not a problem! This book also includes awesome indoor activities about the outdoors for rainy days. Design your own mini parachute, create the worlds most amazing frisbee, or create a bird feeder to keep your feathered friends well fed!

This is a brilliant book bursting with amazing outdoor activities that will have you running for the door! Packed full of hilarious illustrations from the wonderful Scott Garrett, this book will keep you entertained for hours on end! My children have been enjoying looking through it and last week we decided to have a game of Pooh Sticks. Pooh Sticks is a classic game and kept them occupied for quite a while. There were also instructions for racing leaves and following a stream too!
The Anti-Boredom Book of Brilliant Outdoor Things To Do

Andy Seed’s laugh-out-loud ‘Anti-boredom’ series has something for everyone. A seemingly endless car journey to visit your long lost aunty? Andy’s got an activity for that! A boring rainy afternoon stuck indoors? Andy’s got a joke for that! A dull holiday with no one to play with? Andy’s got a game for that! Say goodbye to your boredom blues with the latest in Andy Seed’s fantastic range of Anti-boredom books!

The Anti-Boredom Book of Brilliant Outdoor Things To Do was published by Bloomsbury Children’s Books on 4th May, paperback priced £5.99.

    Looks like a fabulous book, and something I would certainly make use of. I have a five year old, who loves nothing better than doing anything and everything, but then I have teen girls, who really don’t want to do anything. I imagine this book would work well with encouraging them to do things together, and that is a result to me.
