My First Colouring Book

A first colouring book works best when the shapes are large, the outlines are clear and nothing on the page is too ambitious. Simple subjects and playful themes fill the pages, drawn with beginners in mind so that a toddler finishing a picture feels the satisfaction of an achievement rather than a near miss. The activity supports colour recognition, pencil grip and hand-eye coordination, and the book travels well for quiet time in a waiting room or on a long drive. Notable strengths: • Bold outlines drawn for children holding a crayon for the first time • Playful subjects that stay within a toddler's attention span • Supports colour recognition and early pencil control • Light enough to carry for travel or quiet time Made for toddlers, preschoolers and gift-givers, published by OM Books and available through Boipoka.
