Usborne Minis: Magic Painting Seashore

What it is: This mini book is packed with beautiful scenes to bring to life - simply dip the brush in water and sweep it across the black and white pages to fill the images with glorious colours. There's also a handy fold-out back cover that prevents colours running onto the page beneath.

Why we love it: A low mess activity that's perfect for entertaining children on trips out to the coffee shop, on a journey or when waiting for an older sibling's sports club to finish. Younger children will enjoy sweeping colour across the page, while older children can hone their fine motor skills with more careful strokes of the brush.

Recommended age: 3+ Years
