The mind of a child is trained to observe the world around it and gather information. As any parent can attest to, at times a child's curiosity outpaces the world around them. Activity books can be helpful in capturing a child's attention and applying it to constructive tasks. These activities are great when travelling or running errands as they help keep children busy during times when they need to be patient. In practice an activity book also helps build motor skills that modern digital games and phone apps often lack.
