Description
This kids' colouring poster opens out into a busy town street drawn in clear black outlines, and it comes with eight colouring pencils in its box. Along the top runs a row of shops, each with its name printed above the window: a hair salon, Mollie's Flowers, Eastside Bakery, The Hat Shop and a supermarket. Below them the road is full of animal characters going about their day, from a moose on a scooter and a giraffe and a crocodile sharing a car to a tortoise on a skateboard, a penguin pulling a toy on a string and a cat looking out from an upstairs window. The poster measures about 1.15 metres long and 0.8 metres wide, so there is plenty to fill in.
Spread out on the kitchen table or the floor of a playroom, it turns a wet afternoon into a long project that can be picked up and put down over several days. With so many windows, cakes, flowers and characters, there are small details for careful colourers and wide roads and walls for anyone who likes big blocks of colour. A sheet so large has room for more than one pair of hands at once, so it works well as a shared activity round the table. Once it is finished, it makes a cheerful picture for a bedroom wall.
The poster is printed on paper and the pencils are wood, each about 17.5cm long and 0.7cm across, in bright shades including red, yellow, orange, pink, blue and green. It all folds into a box about 35.1cm long, 21.7cm wide and 1cm deep, which keeps the poster tidy and the pencils together. Paper does not mix well with spilt drinks, so keep cups clear while colouring, and an ordinary pencil sharpener keeps the points fresh. Because it arrives boxed, it is an easy thing to wrap, and we like it tucked away for a rainy day.
