They are fun and educational! If you're looking for a boredom buster that's sure to please, try one of these sticker activity books:

Try a Draw-The-Lines-Book

Looking for a summer boredom buster that’s both fun and empowering? I Can Believe in Me: A Draw the Lines Book from Hopscotch Girls puts a fresh spin on a classic activity with its reverse-style format that lets girls draw the lines instead of just coloring them in. Unlike traditional coloring books, this innovative, anti-coloring book invites girls to use their imaginations to complete whimsical, full-color illustrated scenes—encouraging creativity, confidence, and self-expression. It’s a relaxing, screen-free way to keep kids engaged while also boosting fine motor skills and visual development. This one-of-a-kind book turns downtime into a meaningful, creative journey all summer long.

Writing

Writing is a great way for kids to express themselves and explore their imaginations. If your child is interested in writing, encourage her to keep a journal so she can tell her own story. This is a great way for girls to start expressing themselves through writing, allowing them to navigate their thoughts and feelings. Another fun activity for a girl who likes to write is to have her create her own stories by using interesting characters and adventurous plot lines! Both options are great for building skills while keeping her entertained.

Drawing

From doodles in the margins to detailed masterpieces, drawing gives kids a powerful way to explore their inner world. It’s more than just making art—it’s a form of storytelling, problem-solving, and self-discovery. Give your child a sketchpad and some pencils, and watch her ideas come to life on the page. Whether she’s designing her own comic strip, inventing magical creatures, or simply sketching what she sees around her, drawing encourages focus, builds confidence, and lets her creativity run wild—no words needed.

Coloring

Coloring is a classic activity that's enjoyed by kids of all ages. It's not only fun, but it has some great benefits too! Coloring can help with fine motor development, hand-eye coordination and visual perception. Plus, it's a great way to encourage kids to be creative and use their imaginations. If your little girl would enjoy an extra special coloring activity that builds her up and inspires her with whimsical and fun designs, try one of these great options from Hopscotch Girls:
