A studio service
Travel activity books for the long way there.
A travel activity book has one job: keep a child happily busy in a seat. We design road trip, flight and destination activity books for authors, and branded editions for hotels, airlines, tour operators and visitor attractions.
N° 01What goes in the book
Games that work in a seat.
01
Spotting games
Picture checklists and bingo cards of things to see from a window.
02
Map and route pages
Draw the route, count the bridges, colour the places visited.
03
Puzzles for one
Mazes, dot-to-dot, spot the difference and word puzzles that need no partner.
04
Games for two
Noughts and crosses, dots and boxes and question games for siblings or a parent.
05
Travel journal pages
Draw what you ate, the best thing today, a postcard to send home.
06
Destination pages
Facts, landmarks and wildlife of a specific place, for attraction and operator editions.
N° 02The part that goes wrong
Designed at a desk, used on a lap.
01
Needs scissors or glue
Nothing in the book should need tools a family does not have in a car or on a plane.
02
Fine detail
A moving vehicle makes tiny work frustrating. Activities use bold lines and generous spaces.
03
Wrong size
A compact trim fits a seat-back pocket and a small tray. The size is chosen for where the book is used.
04
Facts about a place
For destination editions you supply or approve the facts. We do not publish claims about a place we cannot check.
N° 03How it runs
Plan first, artwork after.
01
1. Page plan
We agree the kind of journey, the age band, the trim size and, for branded editions, where your logo and messages appear.
02
2. Sample pages
Two or three finished pages in the agreed look, so you approve the style and the difficulty before the rest is made.
03
3. Full interior
Every page produced to the plan, with answers or instructions where the format needs them, then one consolidated round of changes.
04
4. Cover and files
Cover design, front matter and print-ready files at your trim size, set to your printer's or platform's template.

N° 05Questions
The answers we give most often.
- Can you make a branded activity book for a hotel or tour operator?
- Yes. The book carries your logo, colours and places, and you approve the destination content. You own the files and can reprint whenever you like.
- What size should a travel activity book be?
- Smaller than a home activity book, so it fits a bag and a tray table. We set the trim to what your printer or platform offers.
- Can pages be reused each trip?
- Journal and spotting pages can be designed as tear-out or repeated sheets. Wipe-clean pages are a print finish to ask your printer about.
- Can it be printed through Amazon KDP?
- Yes for a standard paperback. Spiral binding or wipe-clean pages need a different printer.
- Do I own the book?
- Yes, with full commercial rights and the editable files.
