19 Great Activity Books That’ll Keep Your Creative Kids Entertained

The #1 children’s maze and puzzle book.

This dot-to-dot is a really fun introduction to drawing. Connect the dots and then color. Perfect for ages 4-5. 

This coloring book for toddlers is educational too. It’s a perfect “first” coloring book. It’s great for younger children since the pictures are big and coloring in the lines is easy.

When crayons don’t hold interest anymore, there’s paint. That’s mess-free paint. These Water Wow Activity Books are fun and kids absolutely love them. Crayola also makes mess-free coloring pages--the Color Wonder markers only work on this paper.

If a bit of mess is okay, these dot markers and coloring sheets will make an artist out of kids of all ages. A great activity even the older kids will love.  Want the stay-clean version? Try this Dot Sticker activity!

Kids love love love painting by sticker. There’s lots of different Paint by Sticker and Sticker by Number books that have different levels of difficulty. This is one of the easier ones. 

This is a more advanced version of Paint by Sticker.

This sticker book has beautiful pictures and was really enjoyable to complete! We really liked the Silly Snacks version for ages 6-7.

Creative fun with reusable stickers.

Lots of folding fun.

Hidden picture books are a great activity. They’re also a great one for bedtime for kids who can’t read yet (or those who can!)

Big kids are big fans of this one!

If you’re looking for simply cute coloring books with no characters, Kawaii books are usually a good pick. Some have more interesting themes, but most of them simply have cute images and typically do not have non-Jewish or non-tznius types of pictures. This is one that our kids enjoyed coloring. See other kawaii books here.

A Word Search is a great way to keep the brain muscles moving over vacation.  

A super popular one! Nice range of activities! This Puzzle Book is another fun way to use your brain. Kids solve problems on their own while having fun. While we were working on this post, our kids reminded us that this book is the best!

Extreme dot to dot..now that’s a challenge. These puzzles can entertain for hours. After the dots are connected, color ‘em in. 

Do you have a creative kid? This book shows them how to draw a story on their own. 

This beginner’s drawing book teaches how to draw 100 animals. Gain great basic skills!

Sudoku is a great activity for kids and adults alike. This is a beginner’s version and here is a more advanced version. 

A new set of crayons to go along with your new activity books makes it even more exciting!

120 new markets is a real vacation treat. While we are really loving these Clicks Markers with no need to find the caps, sometimes you just can’t beat having so many colors to choose from.

Also perfect for completing those activity books!
