Thirty days. Thirty adventures. One awesome kid.

A colourful activity adventure book for ages 6–12. Every day brings a brand-new theme — build a volcano, draw a superhero self-portrait, map a treasure hunt, invent your own board game — with everything you need spelled out on the page.

What's inside the book

Every day is self-contained, so you can start anywhere and never have to hunt for instructions. Here's what each page gives you.

30 themed days

A different adventure every day, from Superhero Self-Portrait and Volcano Eruption to Treasure Map Adventure, DIY Puppet Show and Invent a Board Game. No two days repeat.

Materials checklist

A quick list at the top of every day tells you exactly what to gather — paper, glue, tape, a cardboard box — so nothing stops the fun halfway through.

Think-about-it question

Each day ends with one open question that gets kids talking — about what they made, what surprised them and what they'd change next time.

Extra challenge

Finished early? A bonus challenge stretches the same idea further, so a quick activity can fill a whole rainy afternoon if you want it to.

Fun fact

A short, genuinely interesting fact tied to the day's theme — the kind kids repeat at the dinner table long after the glue has dried.

Space to draw & write

Room on every page for sketches, notes and messy first ideas. The book becomes a record of the whole month, not just a set of instructions.

How the book works

Flip through day by day, or jump straight to whichever adventure suits the afternoon. Progress is tracked as you go, and there's a certificate waiting at the finish line.

  1. 1

    Flip day by day

    Previous and Next buttons move you through all 30 days in order, so you always know where you left off.

  2. 2

    Jump with the day picker

    A picker numbered 1 to 30 takes you straight to any day — perfect when a friend is over and you need the puppet show right now.

  3. 3

    Tick off your progress

    Mark each finished day as you go. Watching the ticks add up is half the motivation for finishing all thirty.

  4. 4

    Earn the certificate

    Complete day 30 and the Super Star Explorer certificate is yours — with the child's name on it, ready to print and stick on the wall.

A few of the thirty days

Every day has its own theme, its own materials list and its own finished masterpiece. Here's a taste of what's waiting inside.

Plus 26 more days inside the book — each one with its own materials list, steps, question, challenge and fun fact.

What parents are saying

Families who have worked their way through the thirty days.

We started on a rainy Saturday and never looked back. The materials list meant I always knew what we needed, and my seven-year-old could genuinely do most of it herself. The volcano day is still talked about.

I bought it for the school holidays and it saved us. The day picker is the clever bit — my son would choose a number and off he'd go. He finished all thirty and the certificate went straight on the fridge.


Grant M.Dad of a nine-year-old, Durban

I look after my grandchildren two afternoons a week and this has become our thing. The think-about-it questions get them talking, and the extra challenges mean the older one isn't bored. Wonderful value.
