    Quick Activities by Arvind Gupta, is an invaluable and imaginative inventory of ideas, enabling parents and children alike, to create unique science and craft projects, right at home!

    Summary Of The Book

    In Quick Activities, author Arvind Gupta aims to show parents and children, how educational items can be made from common materials that can be found, in and around the home. Gupta’s purpose in writing such a book was to increase children’s appreciation for science as well as to create meaningful activities for young children.

    In this “how to” book, Gupta shows readers how to create unique items such as a jumping frog, a circling airplane and even a cranky doll, all made from simple paper folding techniques and from throw-away items such as odd buttons, empty juice boxes and paper rolls.

    Gupta’s book has many unique features. Firstly, readers are not required to purchase any extraneous materials. Secondly, the instructions presented in the book are logical and easy to comprehend, with accompanying diagrams. Thirdly, the activity in itself has an hidden, educational purpose. Lastly, it is a great activity to keep children occupied.

    Arvind Gupta has won several awards and accolades for his books, which popularize science. This includes the National Award for Science Popularization amongst Children in 1988 and the Third World Academy of Science Award in 2010.

    Arvind Gupta Rocks

    I have been following Arvind Gupta since I was a kid. I still remember the days of TARANG (an NCERT program) on DD1 where Mr. Gupta used to teach simple science tricks. My apologies to Mr Gupta because in those days we used to call him Taklu Scientist.
