I'M BIG NOW! KIDS ACTIVITY BOOK AGES 5–7
Logic, Puzzles, Matching & Learning Activities
Learning is a big adventure!
“I’m Big Now!” is a fun and varied 21-page printable activity book created for curious children aged 5–7.
Designed around the ideas of OBSERVE • THINK • DISCOVER, this activity book encourages children to explore, compare, match, trace, colour, solve and think their way through a wide variety of playful challenges.
Rather than focusing on just one subject or skill, the book brings together observation, logic, early maths, general knowledge, visual discrimination, categorisation, fine motor practice and problem-solving activities.
Milcho & Sherri accompany children throughout the book, turning every new page into another little learning adventure.

WHY THIS ACTIVITY BOOK IS DIFFERENT
Instead of giving children page after page of the same exercise, “I’m Big Now!” changes the challenge throughout the book.
One page may ask children to solve a maze, another to recognise musical instruments, another to work with a clock, and another to find tiny visual differences between pictures.
This variety encourages children to use different skills while keeping the learning experience fresh and interesting.
