WIN one of 5 Bloomsbury book packs!http://social.kidspot.com.au/index.php/groups/topic/view/group_id/1740/topic_id/18793/topic/win-5-bloomsbury-book-packs'For your chance to WIN share with us below what do you wish someone had told you about kids, parenting, or being a housewife?' UNBORED: The most original, entertaining, and instructive all-in-one book for kids ever published-jam-packed with information, ideas, and activities for children and their parents to share together.
Unbored is the guide and activity book every modern kid needs. Vibrantly designed, lavishly illustrated, brilliantly walking the line between cool and constructive, it's crammed with activities that are not only fun and doable but also designed to get kids engaged with the wider world. From how-tos on using the library or writing your representative to a graphic history of video games, the book isn't shy about teaching. Yet the bulk of the 350-page mega-resource presents hands-on activities that further the mission in a fun way, featuring the best of the old as well as the best of the new: classic science experiments, crafts and upcycling, board game hacking, code-cracking, geocaching, skateboard repair, yarn bombing, stop-action movie-making-plus tons of sidebars and extras, including trivia, best-of lists, and Q&As with leading thinkers whose culture-changing ideas are made accessible to kids for the first time.
Just as kids begin to disappear into their screens, here is a book that encourages them to use those tech skills to be creative, try new things, and change the world. And it encourages parents to participate. Unbored is exciting to read, easy to use, and appealing to young and old, girl and boy.
Bloomsbury, November 2012, $29.99, hardback
FUNKY PARTY: A collection of fun and fabulous food for childrens' parties by the award-winning author of Funky Lunch.
The much anticipated follow-up to the utterly charming and hugely successful Funky Lunch. Mark Northeast sets out beyond the humble sandwich to create a collection of suitably funky party recipes, some savoury and some sweet, but all perfect for hungry little girls and boys. These simple special creations are guaranteed to set the right tone for any party and fill the tummies of all tiny party-goers.
Funky Party is perfect for parents who want to create memorable party food for their children, with ideas that are perfect for birthdays or themed parties and which also cover ideas for smaller crowds, whether it's an impromptu supper or a sleepover. From adorable jacket potato people to garden worm 'bangers and mash', and from scotch egg owls to ghoulish meringues, Funky Party is filled with achieveable ideas for parents to encourage their children to eat, experiment and enjoy food.
Bloomsbury, October 2012, $14.99 paperback
WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME? Provocative, funny, indispensable, inimitable, and a triumph of commonsense over hysteria, this is the book parents everywhere have been crying out for.
WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME...
... that the gurus don't always know best
... that you don't have to 'get your figure back' six weeks after birth
... that you don't need to worry about the other parents at the school gates
... that it's okay to let them eat dirt
... that you don't have to have a naughty step
And most importantly
... that you should never buy a guinea pig?
Drawn from the message boards of mumsnet.com and based on the assumption that if thousands of parents have found a piece of advice to be helpful then you can be pretty sure it's worth knowing, this book shapes that collective wisdom into dozens of dos and don'ts that will lead you through the minefield that is twenty-first-century parenting.
Bloomsbury, October 2012, $19.99 paperback
