Synopses & Reviews
The Big Eclipse Activity Book will jump start your child’s learning about space science and help them prepare for the 2017 total solar eclipse. Its 24 pages are filled with coloring and drawing activities, word puzzles, and craft projects, featuring Nancy Coffelt’s whimsical animal characters.
With ideas from the activity book (and some adult supervision), kids can create an eclipse puppet show or plan an eclipse day viewing party for their friends. The activity book educates about eye safety during the eclipse and offers instructions to make up to 5 different kinds of safe solar viewers, from the most simple to a make-ahead masterpiece that will cover a child’s head and can be decorate however they wish (eclipse-chasing dragon, anyone?). There’s a page for taking notes while observing animals (and people) during the eclipse, word puzzles, silly eclipse jokes… and more.
For use in school science or art classes, for summer camps and clubs, for family craft projects, and for kids who like to read and do crafts on their own.
Suitable for ages 5-11.
