Just before Christmas Lamb was sent the Fire Station activity book as part of the Parragon Book Buddies. We decided, as it was so close to Christmas, we shouldn’t be giving him new things and to wrap it up and put under the tree.
Lamb is pretty obsessed with fire engines at the moment and has a huge love for Fireman Sam (as did his mummy when she was little!) so when he opened his book he was obviously pretty excited.
Whats great about activity books is the interaction. Daddy helped Lamb put together the fire engine and fire station and they spent some real quality time together figuring out how to put together the pieces.
As you can see from the pictures, the activity book comes with some easy to follow instructions, so you can guide your little one through the task.
If I’m honest the fire engine didn’t stay together completely and the back of the engine spent most of the time undone. This had no effect on the fun Lamb had when playing with it, although my son is quite particular about things (and a bit of a perfectionist like his mum) so kept asking us to fix it. Only for it to come undone again. Nothing a bit of glue won’t fix!
Overall we really like this activity book and think it would make a lovely gift for someone.
What books are your little ones loving at the moment?

We love things like this, even if it doesn’t last long it’s a nice activity to do together 🙂 xxx

This book does look great – good idea for birthday presents. Though I think my two would just destroy it!

This looks awesome! J has a similar kind of book, it is a tractor, like yours it is hard to keep it together but it doesn’t stop him enjoying it x

This looks good but the fire engine wouldn’t have stayed together long in our house. Eva is loving look and see books where she has to find certain objects in pictures x

This is ace! I love interactive books. We love anything to do with any kind of transport here; fire engines, trains, tractors… x

This looks super fun! Amelia has something similar from miles kelly and loves it. Seems like perfect timing with him loving fire engines at the moment! X
