Extra-large pages and thick outlines give small hands room to work without the frustration of chasing a fiddly line.
Themes run across animals, nature, toys and shapes, with each picture drawn simply enough for a three-year-old to complete and interesting enough to hold attention through it. Regular colouring of this kind builds grip strength, hand-eye coordination and the patience to finish something, which is why the format keeps its place in preschools and on long journeys.
For the reader:
• Oversized pages with bold, simple outlines
• Themes covering animals, nature, toys and shapes
• Suitable from around age three upward
• Screen-free activity for home, classroom or travel
Suited to preschoolers, nursery classes and parents packing for a trip, published by OM Books and available at Boipoka.
