Pipity have kindly sent me 3 of their new activity books to review.
ANIMALS
This, as the title suggests consists of activities that are animal related, from making an elephant using your finger as a trunk
to tiny bugs, there are also pictures to colour and a birthday card to make.
The thing that makes pipity stand out from other activity books is that there are you tube videos available demonstrating how to make or play each activity, which I think is worth it’s weight in gold because I have often struggled with disappointed children watching on, to figure how a new idea is suppose to go together. These videos can be accessed through the pipity website www.pipity.com or by a you tube scan-able code printed in the books.
GAMES AND PUZZLES
This is exactly what is says full of various games and puzzles from spot-the-difference, a version of who’s who?
and even a child friendly Sudoku puzzle .For older children there is a code breaker game and a word search.
TRAVEL ACTIVITY BOOK
This has colouring, puzzles and things to make all of which could be taken on holiday for help keeping children amused while they are away from home.
The above books retail at £4.99 each which make them ideal stocking fillers, they would suit a wide variety of ages making them value for money even better pipity are offering readers of my blog a 15% discount until 20 December use the discount code xmas002 to access this from www.pipity.com alternatively they can be purchased from Amazon.
I would have found these books an invaluable asset when I was working as a registered child minder plus the you tube videos would have meant that the older children could have tried to make the items for themselves giving a sense of achievement and allowing me to focus on the younger children.
Disclosure:I was sent the books for the purpose of the review but all opinions are my own.
As always questions/comments are welcome.

These look great, my two would certainly love them! Thanks so much for sharing with #Blogstravaganza xx
Gosh these books look packed full of fun. Lots of different things to do. I think they are brilliant.
My eldest Aspen was obsessed and I truly mean obsessed with activity books when she was little, we would look at all the pretty and funny books in the stores but she would want activity books. Thanks for joining in #mg
My daughter is really into workbooks at the moment, I’ve been buying the Letts ones from The Works – these look brilliant though! #TwinklyTuesday
My little loves activity books! Thanks so much! #mg xoxo
I like the idea of pictures to colour too. Thank you for linking up to #PointShoot 📸
My eldest has really started to enjoy activity books, so this would be really good for him X #pointshoot
What an absolutely brilliant idea – I wish there were YouTube tutorials for all activity books like this! What a genius idea! Thanks for sharing them with us #sharethejoylinky
#thesatsesh you are like the drug dealer of the children book world lol…reviewing books must bring you seriously joy. I have to say we aren’t an activity book family, little dude is allergic to anything creative and I’ll have to force him to make cards, let alone within his books lol
As an ex child minder, I am passionate about children’s literature and any good activities, not quite the equivalent of a drug dealer, I hope!
I love the Sudoku puzzle. That is so cute and such a good idea. Thanks for sharing with #Blogstravaganza.
Ah they really would be a really good stocking filler. They sound like a great buy. Thanks for joining us at #familyfun
These activity books look great and you’re right they would make great stocking fillers. Thanks so much for linking up at #fortheloveofBLOG. Claire x
