Add up the money in a wallet full of yen, fold an origami hat, and follow a maze through the sights of Kyoto! These and other playful activities for children ages 6 to 10 offer a warm welcome to the Land of the Rising Sun. A host of crosswords, jumbles, cryptograms, spot-the-differences, and other puzzles acquaint kids with Japanese geography, language, food, arts, sports, and festivals.

From dot-to-dots and spot-the-differences to simple directions for making a piñata and maracas, a variety of fun-filled activities explore Mexican geography, language, food, arts, sports, and festivals. There are plenty of opportunities for coloring, and a bonus paper doll is included with more than two dozen reusable costume stickers.
