Both boys have been drawing and painting with gusto of late. Sometimes weeks go by without them expressing themselves on paper. They go mad and seem addicted, then it tapers off again. We are in the middle of the compulsive stage right now heightened by the arrival of some new Doodle books. We have the range of Rosie Flo colouring books (boys here not put off by the endless dresses!)
And so Amazon shrewdly led my wanderings to these Doodle books by Nikalas Catlow too. They have made us all laugh, get excited, and the ideas that pour onto the pages are truly funny and creative. Basically the pages are A4 sized, each one with a different heading and rough drawing with bits left out.

They have been great today with one sick boy on the sofa and I think for travelling and rainy days they are brilliant companions. For pre-readers most of the hints and headings are explanatory enough but it doesn't take much input from an adult to help out there. Thumbs up from our house!
