For Parents

Explore Manny’s World at Home

Below are educational resources created especially for families to use at home alongside the book “My Friend Manny”.

Designed to make learning fun and meaningful, these activities help parents and caregivers spark curiosity through reading, discussion, and hands-on exploration. Each resource is labeled by grade level and includes clear learning goals and educational standards to support skills in science, history, and critical thinking. While suggested grade levels are provided, many activities can be easily adapted for younger or older learners, making them perfect for extra practice, enrichment, or family learning time. Together with “My Friend Manny”, these resources help bring geology, fossils, and ancient stories to life, right from your home.
