Bob the Builder Activity Books Are Back in Stock

A fresh shipment of Bob the Builder™ "Blueprint for Home Safety" coloring and activity books has arrived at NAHB and they are now available to NAHB members who want to continue getting out the word about safety issues for young children.

Earlier this fall, a supply of close to 100,000 books was depleted in less than three weeks. In a nationwide community outreach program, associations, women’s councils and members have been donating the books to local elementary schools, parades of homes and special home and fire safety events.

HIT Entertainment, the owner of Bob the Builder™, has generously donated an additional 170,000 activity books to NAHB, which are now available on a first-come, first-served basis for the cost of shipping and handling.

The books are five by seven inches, which is smaller than those in the original printing, but the content remains unchanged.

NAHB’s safety message also appears in Bob the Builder™’s “A Christmas to Remember,” a home video/DVD featuring the voice of Elton John. The DVD’s packaging is branded with the NAHB logo and identifies Bob as “an honorary member of the National Association of Home Builders.”

To order the coloring book, click here. Orders cannot be taken over the telephone.

For more information, e-mail Kym Kilbourne at NAHB or call her at 800-368-5242 x8447.
