Some hobbit favorites include salads, pickles, pork pies, tea, raspberry jam, apple pie, and mince pies. Show your kids what an 'authentic' hobbit meal would look, smell and taste like by creating one. Create riddles that can be solved by a child and role play as Gollum, allowing your children to answer the riddles. Start a discussion with your children about where they are currently in the story. If you notice that their attention to the novel has begun to slip, and they have not picked up the book in a few days, try introducing them to an activity pertaining to the book. Tolkien was a masterful author, but his lengthy stories can grow tiresome for children. From personal experiences, I can say that a child can be ready to begin reading the Lord of the Ring's trilogy or the Hobbit as early as ten years old. If the child is obviously entertained, but they are still quite young for reading a book as long as The Hobbit, or Lord of the Rings, go ahead and put the book away for as long as it takes. If you are unsure if your child will even be interested by one of Tolkien's books, try reading it aloud to the child before bedtime. The age that is right for getting your child into Tolkien's masterpieces depends on the child, but instilling a love of reading within a young child is the first step in convincing a child to read. How is it possible to find a means of making a child interested in such a large book? Especially in modern times, children are reading less and less. The masterful trilogy that is the Lord of the Rings saga is hardly the ultimate fantasy work, but for parents looking to introduce their children into this magnificent fantasy realm, the reading material may seem too advanced for a child.
