Large, uncomplicated outlines fill this colouring book, leaving plenty of room for an unsteady hand.
Pegasus has kept the illustrations simple and the page count generous, so a preschooler can work through familiar subjects without running out of material. The paper takes crayons, coloured pencils and sketch pens, and the thick outlines make it easier for a beginner to stay roughly inside the lines. Repeated colouring sessions gradually build grip, colour recognition and the patience needed to finish a page.
Things to note:
• A large collection of simple outline illustrations in one volume
• Thick, clear lines that suit beginners still learning control
• Pages that work with crayons, coloured pencils or sketch pens
• Subjects familiar enough for preschoolers to name at once
Suited to preschoolers, nursery teachers and parents needing a quiet holiday activity, published by Pegasus and available from Boipoka.
