The humble colouring book. It
keeps kids occupied for whole minutes. But now there’s a new craze; magic
painting. All you need is a paintbrush and some water. Simply apply your
paintbrush with water to the page and the printed image fills with colour. It’s
just lazy painting if you ask me, and the colours that do appear are quite
faded, but the kids love em and they don’t make as much mess as regular paints.
So it was my job to source some more. I looked in supermarkets and bookshops
and toy shops and discount stores but we couldn’t find them anywhere, so we
resorted to the internet and had them sent through the post. The pictures
aren’t exactly exciting; they’re just themes of things that you might see on a
day out such as a boat or a zoo animal. I wander what their criteria is when deciding
on which picture to publish.
