Description
This take-along sketchbook for kids is shaped like a friendly cat's face, with a cut-out carry handle across the top so it can travel from room to room or out of the door. The front cover is a bright orange cat with pink ears, mint green eyes, fine black whiskers and a smiling cream muzzle, set against a teal green backing board cut to the same outline. The cat's chin forms the clasp, closing over the pad with a hook and loop fastener so the pages stay shut on the move. Inside are 60 plain sheets, which makes 120 pages, each roughly 22cm by 18cm.
At 25.4cm wide, 23.9cm long and just 1.3cm deep, it slips easily into a backpack or a tote, and the handle means a child can carry it themselves. We like it for car journeys, train trips, cafés and holidays, and just as much for rainy afternoons at the kitchen table. The plain pages leave room for doodling, sketching, colouring in, practising letters or jotting down notes, with no lines or printed pictures to work around, so it suits young artists who like to fill a page their own way.
The backing is sturdy paperboard, the pad is paper and the fastening is polyester, so the whole sketchbook is simple for small hands to manage. The board gives a firm surface to lean on when there is no table to hand, which makes drawing on a lap or a car seat much easier. As general good practice for paper and board, keep it dry and away from spills, and wipe the cover gently with a soft dry cloth if it picks up dust or crumbs. For gifting, its cheerful face needs no fuss, its flat shape is easy to wrap, and it is ready for a first drawing as soon as it is opened.
