    • Fun for the whole fam!
The To-Do Book is not just a productivity tool—it’s a gentle guide to help you organize your life while caring for your mental and emotional well-being. As someone who juggles a million tasks (hello, parenting, work, and everything in between), this book has been a breath of fresh air.

    • Great remedy to “I’m bored”
Never hear “I’m bored” again! Actually you will always hear that if you have kids, but at least with this book, they have options! The variety of activities is great. Some require stuff already in your home and some activities will take some planning/purchasing of things. I think that is a reasonable ask for a book that will entertain my kid for hours. ... show more

    • From the first page!
From the first page, it’s huge fun. I really love this book! I found it in the library, n my son draw awesome pictures. I wonder where he learned and he told me to buy this book. Every single time when we get bored, we open this book now. I strongly recommend this book for more than 6 year old kids.

    • Great book with great ideas
My wife bought this to find ideas of things to make or do with our 3 and 5 year-old boys. There are so many great projects, crafts, and activities with clear and detailed instructions. Most of the materials required are also not hard to find, as they're mostly the things that you already have at home. Some of the activities or projects might be a bit too advanced for our kids, but we look forward to doing them later as they grow up! Definitely would recommend this book for activities to do with your kids, grandchildren, or students, and could be great as a gift as well! ... show more

    • Great activity book!

My 9 year-old boy loves this book! He's been following the book to do various activities. My only complaint is that the book came in the box without any cushion (like wrapping paper or bubble wraps) so the corners of the book got damaged. Otherwise I would've give it 5 stars.
