The stickers are really pretty but not "grown up, fancy" pretty. Just colorful and nice. There is a page of stencils that kids can use to initiate their own drawings of the various objects and animals. The puzzles, pictures to color, paper craft activities, and questions (answers in back) make for fun time and engaged education.
I heartily recommend this colorful, 80 page book of activities for summer fun (well, anytime you want a great book of fun activities). It is sturdy with heavy duty pages and a wonderful fold out back page/cover of the seas and forests.
About the book: This activity book introduces kids to the wonders of nature and the great outdoors, with flowers and animals of the forest, fish of lakes and rivers, sites for camping, and much more. Boys and girls will enjoy themed puzzles, games, pictures to color, and animal stickers to decorate an outdoor scene.
