Description
Our magic water colouring cards turn a little water into an afternoon of dinosaur colouring for kids, with a set of scene cards and a slim water brush to bring them to life. Each paperboard card carries a black line drawing: baby dinosaurs peeping out of cracked eggs beneath a towering long-necked dinosaur, or a crowd of little dinosaurs running between spiky plants and smooth stones. Brush water over a card and colour appears where the brush has been, in warm pinks, teals and greens. The brush itself has a turquoise barrel printed with bright little dinosaurs, and everything tucks into a printed storage case with a cheerful sail-backed creature on the front.
Because the colour comes from water rather than paint or pens, this is an easy toy to set out on the kitchen table, in a playroom or in a quiet corner of the living room. There are no paint pots to knock over and no pen lids to lose, so children can work their way across each scene while you get on nearby. The cards are flat with rounded corners, comfortable to hold and easy to pass between children taking turns. With several scenes to choose from, there is always another dinosaur waiting to be coloured.
The scene cards are paperboard and the water brush is plastic, while the storage case combines card, paperboard, plastic and polyester to keep the whole set together. It measures 24.5cm long, 20cm wide and 2cm deep and weighs 0.4KG, so it slips easily onto a shelf or into a bag for a day out. Fill the brush with clean water, let each card dry flat before it goes back in the case, and wipe the case with a dry cloth when it needs it. We think it makes a lovely gift and a calm, colourful way to fill a rainy afternoon.
