Ages 3–8 · 5.0 stars · Order by 12/12/26 to arrive before Christmas
All Around Town brings together a guide to twenty places in your community and activities your grandchild can enjoy before or after each visit. It all fits inside their own adventure backpack.
They can open the bag on Christmas morning and look through the map with you. Let them pick the place, like the bakery or doughnut shop, and put your first shared adventure on the calendar.
Your grandchild has a bag of their own to carry on each outing. It has stretchy straps and room for everything below.
The map shows all twenty places, with a spot for a sticker after each adventure. Your grandchild can see where you’ve been together and choose where to go next.
Your grandchild can use the stickers to create scenes of the places you explore. They peel up and restick, so you can rearrange them together and use them again.
Play together as you turn over the cards and look for pairs. It gives you something to enjoy at home between outings, too.
There are two pictures for every place you explore. Your grandchild can color while you talk about what you saw or get excited about your next visit.
Find ideas for what to look for and talk about at each place, plus activities to enjoy at home. Each place also includes a way to connect what you discovered to God’s Word. Choose the activities you’d like to do together.

You can take each trip at your own pace. A library visit can fit into an errand, while another adventure can be an afternoon out together. Choose the activities you want to do and spend as much time as you like.
Save an adventure for your next visit. You can take a year, two years, or longer to explore all twenty places. There’s no deadline to finish.
The bag includes the books, matching game, and tracker map. Bring crayons for coloring. A few at-home activities also use everyday items, such as a bucket or bowl. Any travel costs or admission fees are separate.
