Rare late-1990s children's educational activity pack from the beloved How 2 TV series. This pack encourages hands-on learning across Technology, Craft, History, Science, Geography, Food, and Magic with fun, fact-filled projects and experiments.
The interior book is still shrink-wrapped and appears untouched. All project cards are present and pristine inside the sealed section. The outer paper folder/cover shows only very minor signs of age (light shelf-wear, faint rubbing at edges consistent with 25+ years of storage), but is otherwise perfect with bright, vivid colors and no tears, creases, or markings. The pink patterned interior pockets and all press-out elements (including the colour spinner card) remain factory-fresh.

Lavish color illustrations by Maureen Galvani, Barry Green, and Mike Taylor.
