Oh oh oh!!! I have a great review and giveaway for you today. Let’s welcome in spring!!!! Two lovely books and a stamp kit! Do note that this giveaway is only for my fellow Canadians 18+.
Anyways, let me tell you all about the Animals of the Savanna, In the Forest, and Stamp Bugs.
Animals of the Savanna
The first of the two nature sticker activity books, Animals of the Savannah is a romp through the Savannah of Africa. You get to meet lions, leopards, zebras, baboons, secretary birds, boa constrictors and more.
Each page has a variety of activities to go with it. Sometimes it involves attaching stickers. These stickers are found on a two-page spread in the middle of the book. Other times the reader is invited to colour, to finish an image, or change something about an animal.
Each page introduces you to small details about the animals found on the page. “Baby baboons are covered with black hair. They spend the first months of their lives clinging to their mothers. They play with each other and have fun pulling each other’s tails. The whole troop spends the night in the same tree.”.
Each of the activities has a circle in front which indicates the type of activity. A pencil crayon for colouring, and a bird for other actions.
In the Forest
Another in the My Nature Activity Book Series is In the Forest. In the Forest is laid out just the same as Animals of the Savanna. Sticker page in the middle with options to colour, draw, sticker and otherwise interact with different forest elements.
Readers are given the option to test their knowledge at the close of the book.
In the Forest doesn’t just focus on one type of forest, but features animals from forests around the world. This means you’ll find ponds with frogs, pandas in a bamboo forest, and strawberries in the undergrowth.
Stamp Bugs
The perfect compliment to this sticker activity books is stamp bugs. 25 stamps along with 2 stamp pads, allows children to create a multitude of bugs to complement their studies of forests and the Savanna.
This kit comes complete with an instructional pad to kickstart ideas about bugs to create. The cleanly cut stamps feature bodies, legs, and antenna giving the creator a good variety of bugs to imagine.
These three items are geared to ages 5-8 or so. They would make a lovely addition to any sort of nature study, or simply just to amuse children who enjoy nature, or stickers or colouring. The sticker activity books are made on a sturdy paper that will hold colour and stickers well. Once the stickers are placed on, they won’t come off again.
Stamp Bugs: 25 stamps and two ink pads

What fabulous looking books! I have a girl who would adore these, too bad I can’t enter for her since I live in the states.
they are nice books. 🙂 it is too bad!
Will have to check out these books. Our kids and grandkids are big readers just like their grandparents.
My 5 year old would love these because of the stickers! Activity books where you’re learning and having fun at the same time are the best!
My girls love nature, and would love these! 🙂
The stamp bugs look really fun! It reminds me of another stamp set I saw on Amazon recently called Stampville. It has stamps to make buildings, trees, cranes, fences, etc. Very neat!
My boys would love books focused on sealife.
I’m not in Canada, so I can’t enter, but these look like such fun. I think my nieces and nephew would love these.

I hope you can find them so they can enjoy them. 🙂
The stamps look so fun! Would love to see a “bird” set of stamps sometime.
So much fun! My children would love these. I would love to see an Ocean theme or a Canadian Wildlife theme!
We love the nature activity books. We’d also like to see an activity book on the theme of a farm.
My youngest is a sticker book fiend, and my middle loves creatures of all shapes and sizes, I’ll keep an eye out for these.
My son has been really into sticker activity books! He would love these.
