Abu's Diary takes children on a highly enjoyable learning adventure that stimulates and develops a number of important skills. The set includes 9 inkpads with 9 differently shaped stamps along with a full color book (Abu's Diary) in which kids explore a variety of creative activities. Each page contains verbal and illustrated storyline elements along with a call to action for the reader to use one or more different stamp shapes to embellish the story. The unusually appealing illustrations immediately jumpstart young readers' imaginations, while the act of adding shapes and artwork engages kids directly in the creative process. Youngsters utilize shape-matching, manual dexterity, visual discrimination and fine motor skills, as well as creative problem-solving, language development and story comprehension. The stamps are washable with water, leaving them good as new after each usage, and the set packs right back up in the colorful box for easy storage and portability.
