As it seems that the amount of time families will be spending indoors can extend beyond spring and possibly into summer, parents can look for simple and easy ways to keep their children educated and entertained. For those parents, you’re in luck! Book Riot is here to introduce you to several kids activity books that will keep them learning and playing for hours. Among the books on our list, you’ll find activity books for kids who enjoy cooking, activity books for kids with a passion for travel, and many activity books for science-loving kids.
Unfortunately, you will also find a lack of diversity in this book list because even when it comes to publishing activity books, everything turns white and masculine or is produced by a company, which is probably also mainly white and masculine. In the future, we hope that publishing companies will look for more color authors to create activity books, because they are a great way to introduce children to different cultures and people from different backgrounds in a fun and engaging way. Despite the lack of diversity on our list, we think you will find an activity book (or maybe some) that your children are sure to enjoy. Thanks for coming to my TED talk! Now let’s move on to books!
