Explore and play with the help of Lowly Worm, Huckle Cat, and other adorable residents of Busy Town using this vibrant deck of 52 cards that feature prompts to encourage outdoor activities, mindfulness, and curiosity.

Explore and play with the help of Lowly Worm, Huckle Cat, and other adorable neighbours from Busytown! This vibrant deck of cards for children ages 3+ features 52 prompts to encourage outdoor activities, mindfulness, and curiosity.

It's a busy, busy world out there, and this engaging card deck invites kids to discover all that it has to offer, whether in a backyard, local park, or city block. Ideal for children ages 3 and up, each of the fifty-two cards provides an idea for an enriching activity, such as:

Do you ever watch cars go by in your city or town? If you do, try counting them next time. See if you can count three cars that are the same colour.

Go to your local libraryβ€”or just your bookshelfβ€”and pick out a book with pictures in it. Open the book in your lap and very slowly turn the pages. Try to notice something new on every page. Can you learn anything about the story even without reading the words? What's your favourite picture or word in the book?

Kenny Bear feels happy when he says nice things to himself. Think of something nice to say to yourself and repeat it in the mirror.

The activities are paired with classic artwork from beloved Richard Scarry books like Busy, Busy Town and Cars and Trucks and Things That Go, resulting in a deck that's as fun as it is cute. Featuring both indoor and outdoor activities that encourage mindful play, creativity, and exploration, this deck will help kids stay busy all year long!
