Activity books - for home

I really need some new ones for DS3.5 yrs. His favourite so far is this so much so we have bought it twice! but it is too easy - basically just sitcking on stickers.

Have tried some of the doodle books - he likes the Shape one but loses interested in the the ones where you have to complete too much of the picture.

Tried him on some basic handwriting the handwritting one of these which were great for DS1 ones (follow the swirls etc) but he finds them boring.

He really like mazes, matching things etc...

DS1 is in Primary 1 (reception I think) and has homework every night. Ds2 likes to do homework too and so the books come in really handy. He is learning the Jolly phonics along with his brother and will write words if there are dots to follow so I am keen to encourage him.

A very long winded way of asking if anyone has any recommendations for this age!!

Try the link below. Scofield and Simms do a nursery set of activity books. The books are fun and i have just started doing the numbers one with my dd1 who is 2.8 and she loves it. She likes to count and do the colouring as well as trying to join the dots. Only do this with her as her cousins all bring work to do and she also wants to do some and it's fun.Smile

See - I would never have found those myself as I had been looking on amazon and the like...

Do the nursery numbers correspond to the difficulity - is activity book 1 easier than say 4?

Yep they do! One is the easiest and they follow. They have numbers, sounds, writing, weather, myself etc... They r quite interesting. My sis swears by them that's how I found them so it may be hard to know what to look for sometimes.
