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

No need to rush anywhere. Pull out a fresh activity book and the kids will be busy. 

Midwinter break is here, and although we hope to enjoy some out-of-the-house fun, there’s always those times when mom needs the kids to be happy and entertained at home (think: Erev Shabbos…or when mom needs to get some work done…or simply cook supper!). These activity books will give you that hour or two (or 10 minutes!) that you need.   

Younger children can keep busy with simple paper and crayons. But they’ll be even more thrilled (and stay busier for longer) with some new special activities.
