THEY'RE STARTING TO MAKE THEIR MARKS

They're reaching for pencils, crayons or chalk all by themselves.

A few lines become circles, scribbles and splashes of colour — and they're beginning to discover what their hands can do.

The Hand-Over-Ready® African Animals Colouring Book gives children aged 2–3 their own place to make those first marks, with 42 African animal colouring and activity pages to explore and return to.

Through Focus • Colour • Explore, they can choose a picture, add as much or as little colour as they like and gradually discover what they can do for themselves.

GROWING CONFIDENCE

Every child has their own way of colouring.

Some may colour a little before they're ready to move on. Others may enjoy filling every part of the picture.

A page might last two minutes, be filled from corner to corner, be left for another day or become a favourite they return to again.

There is room for all of it.

Children can enjoy each page in their own way and at their own pace, building confidence through the experience rather than through how much they complete.

FOCUS • COLOUR • EXPLORE

Part of the Hand-Over-Ready® Learning Journey, the African Animals Colouring Book gives children opportunities to:

Develop greater control as they hold and move pencils or crayons
Experiment with lines, circles, scribbles and colour
Make their own choices about pictures and colours
Follow the dots across four dot-to-dot animal activities
Discover what they can increasingly do for themselves

You can stay nearby when they need you and give them space when they don't.

That's the hand-over.

WAYS TO ENJOY YOUR COLOURING BOOK

Print the whole book, choose a few favourite animal pages or keep some ready to take with you.

At home. In the car. On a flight. During a sibling's activity. Or while your meal is on its way in a restaurant.

Some days it may be one animal. Some days several. And some days the crayons may stay exactly where they are.

The pages will still be there whenever they're ready to pick them up again.
