I will be running a Look for a Book event, where I am going to hide several children's books in and around New Milton Recreation Ground, for children to find. The goal is that they read the book, and re-hide it for someone else to find and read. The goal is to end up finding and reading as many as possible, so everybody reads and re-hides many books, saving you money on buying these books.
These books will be sponsored by local businesses, so make sure you have a look at which businesses have sponsored the books you find! It's great that other local business owners are just as passionate about children reading as I am!
What's in it for you to Look for a Book?
🌟 Bonding time with your kids as they get excited about what they find.
🌟 Promoting your child's literacy - every book read is great for developing literacy and cognitive ability!
🌟 Exploring the local area, getting fresh air and a little adventure. Even locals may find somewhere new!
🌟Community engagement - you never know who you'll meet, in person exploring or online discussion!
🌟Cost-effective entertainment, since it's a free activity, you can enjoy entertainment without worrying about how much it costs, plus you don't have to buy a book!
🌟Health benefits to physical activity for your kids, running around finding and hiding books.
🌟Environmental Awareness! By reusing and recycling books, you contribute to sustainability efforts and teach your children the importance of reducing waste and caring for the environment.
In the spirit of the event I'd really appreciate it if you only took home one book per child at a time, so everybody has a chance to find a book!
The event will start on 27th October, and continue through half term. I will post clues after I have hidden the books, so make sure to check back on the 27th to see the clues! Stay tuned for updates.
