Thick outlines and roomy shapes are what separate a colouring book a small child can succeed with from one that ends in frustration, and this collection is built to the former standard.
A hundred and one line drawings cover animals, fruit, vehicles and household objects, each kept simple enough for a crayon held in a full fist. The paper is chosen to limit bleed-through, and the variety of subjects means a child can pick a page by mood rather than working through in order.
Its main attractions:
• 101 line drawings with bold, easy-to-follow outlines
• Subjects spanning animals, food, vehicles and everyday objects
• Open shapes suited to crayons and unsteady hands
• Paper selected to reduce colour showing through
A sensible screen-free option for toddlers and preschoolers, and for parents and nurseries stocking activity material, published by Wonder House Books and available at Boipoka.
