Picture Hunt Books


Bentley enjoys doing picture hunt books. A picture hunt book "features busy, colorful scenes packed with multiple images and objects to seek and find". (The "I Spy" series of books and games are picture hunt activities.) Last Christmas I bought a picture hunt book in the bargain bin at Borders. It had 30+ oversized pages. B loved doing it. We did at least one page every day before nap time. Last month I found another picture hunt book at Costco. It was while cousin John was visiting and Bentley had John help him search for items. On the side of the page are pictures so nonreaders can do some searching on their own, but there is also a written list of other items to search for.

The new book only took Bentley a couple of weeks to finish off. The twins did a couple of pages, but they aren't yet really interested. I pulled out the Christmas book from last year and Bentley has worked on it a little. We've been pretty busy with other Christmas activities. So much to do, so little time.
