The Curiosity Project Book allows children to have total freedom and complete control over their learning journey. We have purposefully designed it this way. They simply choose a topic that really interests them and use the learning prompts to complete their project. Our aim is that it inspires a thirst for knowledge, fosters self-motivated learning and encourages independence.

The Curiosity Project Book has been designed to largely be a ‘blank canvas’. We’d love your child to add to borders, to doodle as they think, to colour in their pictures and add whatever creative splashes of colour they feel like. It is theirs to personalise and we hope this gives them a sense of ownership and pride in their work. The activities can be completed in any order but it would make sense to end with the presentation once your child has had a good chance to fully explore their topic.

Our age recommendation for this pack is approximately 8-16 years. It is suitable for children who would like to explore a topic or area of interest with guided activities.

Older children would be able to use it as a way of recording independent work.
