Product Description
Product Description
Look inside the Anti-Colouring Book and you'll see that it's nothing like an ordinary colouring book. You won't find pages of boring pictures to colour in - instead it's crammed with inspirational ideas that'll really get your imagination going. So what are you waiting for? Grab your paints, crayons, felt-tip pens, or whatever else you like to use, and get colouring creatively. If you can keep the book to yourself, that is!

This book really sparks the imagination! I bought this to top up an order and dont regret it! One of my children just "doesnt do drawing" and said at 11 she was "too old for colouring in". I gave her this and she didnt out it down for days, completing page after page of detailed and imaginative artwork.
The book gives the idea, a basic start such as "design a stamp for the first postcard sent from Mars" and a postcard outline... or "The artist hurt his thumb as he was starting his picture, can you help him out?" and they are off! Great for any child who has difficulty with imaginative artwork or who has trouble creating something pleasing from scratch :)

I first saw this book on someone else's bookshelf, and just had to track down my own copy. Since then I've bought several more, because the children love them! So much better than the colour-the-spaces-and-don't-go-over-the-lines books, these books encourage children to use their imagination. I tried to get one for myself, but the children saw it and I lost it again!
Draw the new fish that's been discovered, draw the picture that goes with the report of the first alien to land on earth, draw your nightmare, draw your daydream. Simple enough for a young child to use (it helps if they can read the few words of instruction) and inspiring enough for older children, up to teenagers (older than that will probably think it's not "cool" until they reach adulthood!). Because you're drawing your own designs all the time, the children are even asking for second and third copies of the book.

As a counsellor working extensively with children of all ages, both sexes and from all backgrounds with a whole host of issues, I find this book invaluable in unlocking some of their unconscious thoughts and opening up lines of communication. But most of all, it's great fun. Think I should be receiving royalties for the sales I have actively encouraged. Cannot recommend it highly enough.
