Cutting, folding and sticking aren't just fun and games - they're also a great way to improve children's manual dexterity and ability to concentrate. Paper Playtime transforms the traditional workbook into a hands-on learning opportunity. With simple step-by-step instructions, the child will create delightful projects as well as gain a sense of accomplishment. With each page, children will fold paper and use scissors and glue with greater accuracy and skill.

Introduce your child to reading and writing with our Verbal Skills Workbooks. Through fun activities such as tracing and color-by-letter, our workbooks gradually introduce new concepts. The eye-catching illustrations and captivating content reinforce lessons and help children stay motivated, encouraging them to be lifelong readers and writers. This follow-up workbook to My Book of Simple Sentences aims to help children understand slightly more complicated sentences. By slowly introducing adjectives and showing children how to use them, this book aims to make children comfortable with such sentences as "The happy fish swims."
