Each prompt is given in English and Spanish. 100 percent of proceeds support Families Belong Together. It’s filled with illustrations from more than 80 international artists and the beautiful and inventive pages abandon the classic coloring book conceit of coloring between the lines and instead prompts kids to flex their imaginations and add their own illustrations to the pages instead. This 176-page coloring book is hefty enough to last a summer and then some. Here, a few of the coloring and activity books that have caught my eye lately, along with a few old-fashioned kids magazines perfect for passing the time. Plus, we’ve got train rides and car rides ahead of us with a newly minted five year-old eager to be entertained.
My hopes for my kids mostly involve eating too many cherries and running through sprinklers, but I know there will be also be hours to occupy with slightly more structured pastimes. She’s currently running through city sprinklers with her friends and a babysitter, and despite the usual childcare and work/life balance questions to still sort out, I’m looking forward to lots of long, lazy summer days ahead. It’s officially the last day of school for Faye.
