Description
This colouring and games roll tucks two metres of paper into a slim card box, ready to pull out a little at a time. The Forest Friends design fills it with woodland characters drawn in clear black outlines for colouring in: a mouse perched on a toadstool, a hedgehog under an umbrella, a squirrel with a big curling tail, busy bees and plenty of flowers. Between the pictures sit puzzles to solve, including a maze and a spot-the-difference game, so the roll works as a colouring book and an activity book in one. A multi-coloured pencil comes with it, and the box itself measures 13cm long and 3.5cm wide and high.
Because it is so small, we think the roll suits the moments when children need something quiet to do: a long car journey, a train ride, a wait at a restaurant table or a rainy afternoon at home. It slips into a coat pocket, a handbag or a rucksack without adding bulk. The paper unrolls as far as a child wants, so a single picture or a whole stretch of the woodland scene can be worked on at once. Children who love animals, mazes and drawing will find plenty to keep them busy, and grown-ups can join in with the puzzles too.
The box is made from card, with a panel to remove before the paper roll is pulled out, and the roll itself is white paper printed with the outlines. The pencil has a plastic barrel. Keep the box dry and away from spills, and keep the pencil with it so nothing goes astray between outings. A finished picture can be snipped off with scissors and pinned to the fridge or a bedroom wall. As a small gift, tuck it into a gift bag alongside a favourite picture book for a young artist who loves woodland animals.
