Description
This kids' colouring and games roll in the On Our Street design packs a long strip of paper full of street scenes into a pocket-sized box. Pull it out and a busy high street unrolls in clear black outlines. There is a hat shop with hats lined up in the window, a supermarket with fish in its window, and cars on the road. A cheerful cast of animal characters fills the street, from a lion in a green jacket out with his dog to a tortoise riding a skateboard. Alongside the roll comes a multi-colour stacker pencil, its barrel holding a run of bright colours, so everything needed to begin is right there. The turquoise box carries the same characters and measures 13cm long, 3.5cm wide and 3.5cm high.
Because it comes in a box small enough for a coat pocket, a rucksack or a changing bag, it is the kind of thing we like to keep ready for a car journey, a train ride or a wait at a café table. Children can colour one shop at a time and roll the finished part out of the way. Or they can pull out a long stretch and spread it across the kitchen table or the floor. Games sit among the scenes too, so there is something to puzzle over as well as to fill in. It suits any child who loves to colour.
The roll is paper and the pencil is plastic, and the set weighs just 0.032KG, so it adds next to nothing to a bag. To begin, remove the marked part of the box and pull out the paper roll. The stacker pencil has a clear cap to cover its tip between sessions. Keep the paper dry and away from drinks, and wipe the pencil with a dry cloth if it gets grubby. Small enough to wrap in a moment, it makes a cheerful little present.
