We’re half-way through the week – but we’ve got another five things for you to try and crack in Activity Quest Daily!

1. Listen to the Fun Kids Book Worms podcast

The very first thing to do today is to listen to Bex’s podcast, Fun Kids Book Worms. 

She meets and chats with some of the coolest authors around. 

In the most recent episode, she talks to Vick Hope and Lucy Strange. 

What we want to know though is this… What book is Lucy talking about?

2. Find out how toothbrushes are made

It sounds odd, but have you ever wondered how all of those bristles stay in the head? 

Sir Sidney McSprocket knows and he’s telling us –– once you’ve found out, can you let me know below?

3. Try Fun Kids Classical

Now, yesterday I told you to download the free Fun Kids mobile app. You can listen to Fun Kids there and a bunch of other Fun Kids radio stations too. 

Today, we’re going to play Fun Kids Classical. 

Grab your phone, tap the ‘MENU’ button in the Fun Kids app and on the bottom swap to Fun Kids Classical. 

Grab some chopsticks or pencils and pretend as if you’re conducting your own orchestra!

4. Find a fact about a composer

On the subject of classical music, why not try and find out a fact about something we play? You can see everything that’s been played on Fun Kids Classical in the app.

Why not try and find out about one of the musicians and tell us what you learn?

5. Make these delicious cupcakes
