Description
This book in the Family Fun series is made to be left at the cottage, ready for the first sign of the "we have nothing to do" blues. Parents can quickly send the kids to the lake, where they can work on their canoeing skills, build a diving raft or play water games such as Marco Polo. If the kids are waterlogged, they can go out back to grow a vegetable garden, or to the woods to build a treehouse or on a hike to look for signs of wildlife. Regardless of the weather, time of day or night, mood or age, The Kids Cottage Book is the essential survival guide to a fun summer at the cottage.
