The activities include spot the difference, matching games and mazes as well as ones involving cutting out, folding and creating objects such as building a paper house. All of the pages are incredibly absorbing with Alain’s unmistakably rich style of illustration. Each page of the activity book is perforated and single sided, allowing the pages to be removed and displayed. Certain activities will appeal more to younger children (3+) while others will appeal to slightly older children.
