Tiny Me Amazingly Awesome Activity Book Review

We like Tiny Me, their personalised children's products are incredibly attractive and the prices are good.

We previously reviewed their Trucks And Diggers Wall Stickers, which we love, so I was more than happy to take a look at one of their Amazingly Awesome Personalised Activity Books. 


The child's name appears on each page of the book, 
and there are tons of different activities for them to complete. 


There are dot-to-dot, spot the difference, colouring pages, matching games etc. There's very little repetition, it's a nice selection and there's a lot to offer a child from around 4 onwards. For younger ones these activities help with strengthening their fingers, fine motor skills and pencil control, ready for writing. For older children it's a nice way to practice, without doing 'work'. 

 The characters have the familiar Tiny Me style, and can be a bit quirky and different, and we like that.


The book is nicely made with good quality paper and has great drawings, my son loves the fact it's his and has his name on it, and that has encouraged him to try and read more of the instructions inside. I'm a bit disappointed that the only colour is the cover, but then it's up to the user to colour it in however they like.

My one complaint probably stems from the fact I have worked in a nursery school - it's all in capital letters! It's confusing for early readers and instead of being helpful in teaching my son to read, it's showing him a way to write that he shouldn't copy.

The Tiny Me Amazingly Awesome Activity Book costs £12 and has 32 pages, each of which has personalisation including your child's first and last name and gender. 

Tiny Me stock all kinds of personalised products from name tapes and tags to lunch boxes, stationary and party invites. They also have a great range of free printables, which you can find here. 


We were sent our book for review.

  2. This is lovely and would make a great gift. I agree about the capital letters, it's confusing for early writers.

  3. This looks like a lovely book with loads to do in it - there's nothing more a child loves than recognising their name in a book!

    1. I agree - he really smiled when he realised it had his name on the front. It actually had his full name, I've obscured the surname :D

    1. Girls are much better with sitting drawing and colouring I think. Boys are 5 minutes and they're off! :D
