the monthly book club – that inspires your

Every month we’ll post you a new and unusual book to read, along with a beautifully designed activity card of creative and imaginative ideas suggesting things for you to write, to do, to make, or to cook – all inspired by the book.

We believe everyone is creative, sometimes you just need a little inspiration.

Bumblebee subscriptions are available for children and grownups!
