Description
This colouring poster comes with its own pencils and opens out into one big farmyard scene, drawn in clear black outlines on white paper and ready for colour. At about 1.15 metres long and 0.8 metres wide, it is far larger than a colouring book page. The On the Farm design is packed with things to fill in: a barn with garden tools, beehives with bees overhead, apple and pear trees, a tractor by the fence, a rooster, hens and chicks, ducks on a pond, pigs, cows and horses, rows of carrots, beetroot and peas, pumpkins, flowers, butterflies and a hedgehog among the vegetables. Eight wooden colouring pencils come with it, in pink, red, yellow, green, dark green, light blue, dark blue and brown.
With so much space, it suits the playroom floor, a bedroom rug or the kitchen table, anywhere it can lie flat. Children can work on one patch at a time, a pig here and a hen there, and come back to it over several sittings, which makes it a good quiet activity for a rainy afternoon. The open shapes and bold lines are easy to follow, and the mix of animals, crops and countryside gives plenty to chat about while the colour goes on: which animal lives where, what grows in the vegetable patch and what the bees are busy with.
The poster is printed on paper and the pencils are wood, each about 17.5cm long and 0.7cm across. Packed flat, the set measures 35.1cm long, 21.7cm wide and 1cm deep and weighs 0.17KG. Keep the poster dry and colour on a flat, firm surface; a pencil sharpener keeps the points neat. Once every animal has its colours, the finished farm makes a cheerful picture to pin up on a playroom wall, and the slim box makes it an easy present to wrap.
