Five activities to try this afternoon.

One of each kind, so you can see what works with your person before deciding anything. Print them today — no subscription, nothing to cancel.

Familiar words in an open grid, generously set.

Thick outlines, uncrowded scenes, made for adults.

A picture with something taken out, drawn large.

Questions from the era and places they know best.

A short story in large print, to read together.

Where should we send them?

We email your five activities, ready to print. The full library of 8,000 activities is inside, where you can download whatever you like.

Because the problem isn't convincing you it's worth paying for. It's convincing you it will work with your person.

Pinterest, worksheet sites, printables aimed at children. Most of an evening gone and nothing you'd hand over.

Type too small, instructions too complicated, or so simple it felt insulting.

Finding one pitched right is the hard part — enough to matter, easy enough to finish.
