My Mum and Dad Make Me Laugh

Product Information

No wonder they make their son laugh - mind you, they think that he's funny in his grey patternless clothes! This was an open ended activity, the children could compare stripes, find the stripe with the most dots, or find the stripe with 1 more spot etc. His parents make the boy laugh; Mum is crazy about spots - spotty clothes, spotty wallpaper, spotty games like dominoes; Dad loves stripes - stripy suits and stripey ties, stripy humbug sweets.

Each page of the book contains a clue to the nature of the little boy's obsession - from a pink elephant toothbrush holder in the bathroom to a bun in the cafe. This simply play activity took a few minutes to set up, costs nothing and is done using things you’ll already have around the house. Packed with glorious patterns of stripes and spots, this book also contains a clue on each spread as to the nature of the little boy's obsession - from a pink elephant toothbrush-holder in the bathroom to a bun in the cafe!
