For your next car trip, try an activity kit made by the ultra-creative company Klutz Press, which publishes colorful, original hands-on "books" crammed with neat stuff and activities. Prices range from $4 to $12.
Created to banish the blackseat blues: kids can push, pull, write on, or puzzle over this "Swiss army knife of books"; even the covers are fun. (The front cover's a sliding puzzle, the back cover's a pinball machine).
Brenda's four inches tall, made of flexible coated wire, and has magnetic handsd and feet; comes with a book and a tin to live in. (There's a Joe Bender, too.)
Not so much a "Guide" as a survival kit, with book, games, crafts, puzzles, crosswords, mazes, plus a zippered vinyl pouch that holds all the supplies-- brought to you by the imaginative Klutz Press.
"A Big Book of Backseat Brainteasers": creatively packaged, of course. Each pages has five questions; answer by sliding a peg to a multiple-choice answer. Flip the book over to see the correct answers.
"120 pages of crayon-and-paper play, including hidden pictures, unfinished drawings, mazes, fold-ups, games, giggles and goofy stuff"-- comes with special crayons, too.
