Description
This bear face sketchbook gives children a friendly companion for drawing wherever they go. The front cover is a cheerful brown bear with round brown ears and cream centres, rosy pink cheeks, bright eyes and a smiling muzzle, set against a teal blue backing board cut to the same rounded shape, with a handle opening at the top between the ears. Inside are 60 plain sheets, 120 pages in all, each about 22cm on the long side and 18cm on the short side. Closed, it is 25.4cm wide, 23.9cm long and 1.3cm deep, and at 328g it is light enough for small hands.
Because the carry handle is part of the board, the sketchbook travels well: take it on a car journey, a train ride or a visit to family, then hang it on a hook back home. Plain pages leave room for anything, from doodles and sketches to colouring, comic strips and little notes, so it suits children who would rather fill a blank page than follow lines. At home it sits neatly on a bedroom desk or playroom shelf, or out on the kitchen table beside a pot of pencils, ready whenever an idea arrives.
The backing board is paperboard and the pad is paper, which keeps the whole thing light. The bear's muzzle doubles as the clasp: it folds over the front cover and closes with a polyester hook and loop fastener, so the pages stay together in a bag or backpack. As with any paper sketchbook, keep it away from water and wipe the cover gently with a soft dry cloth. We think it makes a cheerful present for a child who loves to draw, especially tucked in with a fresh set of colouring pencils.
