Kids Road Atlas - for the fun and the facts on your road trip

This fun atlas is designed for families by people with families to ensure it includes everything you need for travelling with kids. It doesn’t matter if you are planning a big road trip or a short break away, this atlas will help kids realise the journey from A to B isn’t just a mundane part to get through before you hit the fun stuff – it is part of the adventure.


No more choruses of “are we there yet” because each simple, fun atlas page is brought to life with a puzzle or game to help children pass the time. And every page wipes clean so the kids can use them again and again. Although the maps are easy for children to follow, they also show plenty of places of interest to younger travellers, including zoos and Australia’s famous ‘big’ things. It’s a chance for the whole family to stop at different places along the way and discover things they may not have known were there before.
Keep the kids involved in the progression of the trip by allowing them to keep track of the journey on their very own map. They can point out upcoming towns or attractions too. This atlas will make the idea of a family road trip less daunting and help you get your family out on the road making memories that will last a lifetime.

Features:
• 20 atlas pages covering all of Australia featuring zoos, theme parks and Australia’s famous ‘big’ things.
• Puzzles, activities and games to help children pass the time.
• Wipe off pages and a free reusable pen so the kids can use the book again and again.
• Suitable for children over four.
