Recommend me a lovely colouring book

[KatherinaMinola]

For 4yo. Preferably (but not necessarily) Christmassy, and a lovely object in itself before it's even been coloured in - ie a really skilled illustrator. If it's got stickers too, all the better.

TIA

The Usborne doodling & drawing books are great. They also do a Christmas wipe clean cards doodling pack.

These are lovely:

Not Christmassy but DD had some from this range and they're gorgeous

I second the Depesche brand. Not sure if they have Chrissmassy ones though. But they are beautiful and perfect for 4 years+.

I got some from ELC when there was 20% off everything - they have a nice selection and are cheaper than Amazon.

IRL I know you can buy them in Fenwick's toy department and some large garden centres.

You can get the Very Hungry Caterpillar as a colouring book.

We have this one. It's beautiful. Or the anti colouring colouring book.

On Amazon there's an offer, 4 for £10 on crafty books.
linky
I recommend the usborne ones, they're fantastic, lovely pictures to colour and a honestly such a bargain at £2.50 each.
I've bought £20's worth already

[fuzzpig]

Thanks so much for that choc - I'd missed that deal! DD actually mentioned that Santa always brings activity books and I hadn't been planning to get any this year, so now at that price I think I will :o tradition can be upheld!

[chocolatereindeer]

Happy to have helped :)

[MirandaWest]

Have saved the link for amazon - thank you so much

[zipetwhippet]

My dd (a few years ago) had the flower fairies one it had the Christmas tree fairy and holly fairy in it plus lots of others.
They've still got some-I've just checked

[zipetwhippet]

*amazon have still got some

[KatherinaMinola]

Thanks so much for these GREAT suggestions.

chocolate, for that link - a couple of activity books I was looking at are on it - and they're £5.99 each bought singly! Such good value - I will be spending at least one set of £10!

The Birds to Colour book would particularly appeal to DD - it's a little old for her I think, but she would love it (loves nature).

I do love that Usborne Christmas doodling book too. Hmm...

Thanks everyone.

Thanks Beyond. That last fairytale one is lovely - too old for DD (in terms of colouring skills) but I think I am going to get it for a slightly older little friend - it's included in the 4 for £10 offer.

As is the Hungry Caterpillar colouring book - might get that too!

Really chuffed because there were three books I was specifically after listed in the offer chocolate linked to - I've ordered them all now.
