activity engaged in for enjoyment and recreation for everyone

PLAY Activity Book

Buzzword designed this activity book to inspire families to keep learning together. Buzzword chose activities that build on your child’s natural curiosity, encouraging a growing vocabulary and a deeper engagement with books. First, read through ”We All Play” written by Julie Flett, with your child.

Then, go through the different activities, experiments, and ideas together, taking time to explain the meaning of the words and connecting them to your child’s real-life experiences.
