N° 05 — Activity books
A studio service
Children's activity book design.
Mazes, puzzles, dot-to-dot, spot-the-difference, word searches, sticker pages — illustrated activity books for children, designed as a cohesive book rather than a random collection of printables.
Every page made to solve and keep.
N° 01Activity types
Every kind of puzzle a child can solve.
01
Mazes
From simple toddler mazes with three turns to intricate older-child mazes with dead ends and shortcuts.
02
Dot-to-dot
Illustrated connect-the-dot pages that reveal a scene as the child completes them. Difficulty scales with dot count.
03
Spot-the-difference
Side-by-side illustrations with 5–15 differences. Built around your book's characters or setting.
04
Word searches
Themed word grids that teach vocabulary alongside the puzzle. Ages 6+.
05
Crossword puzzles
Kid-friendly crosswords with picture clues for early readers, text clues for older children.
06
Matching games
Draw-a-line-between pairs. Shape matching, word-to-picture, cause-and-effect.
07
Coloring pages
Activity books often mix in coloring — we integrate both seamlessly.
08
Sticker activities
Place-the-sticker prompts with interior sticker sheets at the back of the book.
N° 02By age band
Scaled to the reader.
Activity books work when the difficulty matches the reader. Too easy and children get bored; too hard and they put the book down. We design each title for a specific age band rather than trying to serve 'ages 3–10' with one book.
Common bands: ages 3–5 (simple shapes, big solutions, lots of color), ages 5–7 (early reading + basic puzzles), ages 7–9 (multi-step activities, longer words), ages 9–11 (intricate mazes, harder crosswords, story-driven sequences).

N° 05Questions
The answers we give most often.
- Can you build activities around my own characters?
- Yes — and this is where activity books work best. If your child or picture book has existing characters, we design every activity around them, so the activity book feels like a companion volume rather than a generic workbook.
- What age band should I target?
- The narrower the band, the better the book. A book 'for ages 4–10' almost always underserves both ends. We'll recommend a band based on the activities you want and where your audience sits.
- How many pages is enough?
- Minimum viable is about 24 activity pages plus solutions. Sweet spot is 40–50 pages. Above 60 pages the book starts to feel overwhelming for most kids.
- Do you handle the puzzle logic?
- Yes. We design the maze paths, the dot numbering, the word search grids, the crossword clues — everything is built by us and tested. You don't need to supply solved puzzles.
