Description
This giant haunted house colouring poster arrives with eight wooden colouring pencils, so a child can unfold it and start straight away. Opened out, the paper poster measures about 1.15 metres by 0.8 metres, a big sheet packed with a spooky house drawn floor by floor in clean black outlines. There are friendly ghosts drifting through the rooms, a witch stirring a bubbling cauldron, a tentacled monster on the stairs, a vampire relaxing in a bubble bath, bats in the sky and a dragon fast asleep in a cellar of stones and bones. Look closely and you will find a suit of armour, a cosy reading room and a pair of eyes peering out of a hollow tree.
Because it is so large, our poster works well on a kitchen table, a playroom floor or a clear patch of carpet, and there is room for more than one young artist to colour at once, each taking a different floor of the house. It makes a cheerful rainy-day activity for children who enjoy a gently spooky story, and the quirky characters are more funny than frightening. Folded, the set is slim at 35.1cm long, 21.7cm wide and 1cm deep and weighs just 0.17KG, so it slips easily into a bag for a visit.
The poster is printed on paper and the pencils are made of wood, each about 17.5cm long and 0.7cm across. Their colours run from red, orange, pink and yellow to blue, green, grey and black, plenty to bring the ghosts, the witch's cauldron and the sleeping dragon to life. Lay the poster flat on a firm, dry surface while colouring. Once every room is finished, it can be pinned up on a bedroom or playroom wall to show off everyone's hard work, and the whole set makes a fun present to wrap for a child who loves to draw.
