What is a Spotto Book?
Spotto Books are Australian made activity books to use in the car, boat or plane to stop the boredom of travel.
These popular travel games are used predominantly in the car. Spotto Books have sold over 23,000 copies, which help families enjoy travelling by car with young children and explore several regions of Australia in depth.
The creator -Outback Jess
Outback Jess has over 10 years experience as a Tour Guide throughout Australia, and frequently visited iconic locations as Uluru, the Kimberley, Karijini, Perisher, Far North Queensland and Whitsundays. She has also travelled two laps of Australia with my husband, and there is still more to explore. She adores travelling Australia, but entirely aware of the sheer distances between iconic destinations and how being stuck in the car can cause boredom and frustration.
Outback Jess originally made Spotto Books for her kids because when they travelled, she couldn’t handle them complaining about being stuck in the car. She wanted them to relax, so she could relax.
She was frustrated that they weren’t looking out the window at the beautiful landscape and unique animals. So she created a Spotto Book filled with animals, plants, vehicles, iconic locations and big things to spot and tick off. When she saw how well they worked at entertaining her kids, and how excited they became when they spotted something in the book, she decided to create them for everyone. Because helping kids fall in love with Australia is what its all about!
The car game of Spotto
Many Australians have fond memories of the classic road trip game “Spotto” where you look out the window for a yellow car and call Spotto. This game helped pass the time of long road trips, and kept a competitive spirit in the car, keeping the driver alert.
Spotto Books are an extension of this fun family car game. The Classic edition is filled with yellow vehicles, objects, plants and animals to see and tick. Outback Jess also created a whole series of different things to Spotto on holidays in Australia.
DON’T WAIT! Get out and explore Australia!
Happy Travels, Outback Jess
