Colouring books are the ultimate failsafe, screen-free entertainment for kids of all ages. Whether you’re looking for something to keep children busy during the long school summer holiday, an easy activity to pull out on a rainy day or simply a way to occupy the kids while you’re trying to cook dinner, a colouring book will never let you down.
This coloring book is a tad more R-rated, but sure to bring on some laughter. It's filled with funny illustrations that include insults and yes, "bad" words.
"I have really high preferences when it comes to art supplies. And this paper is so thick and beautiful. I'm so excited to start coloring. I love the markers as well! The colors are so gorgeous!"
Since each page is thick, artists can easily use markers including some alcohol brands without bleeding through each page. We suggest avoiding watercolor markers as the paper will not hold the water well.
The van has plenty of detail to colour in and it could easily occupy a group of siblings for an afternoon, just decorating it.
The books offer so many amazing benefits to children, helping boost everything from fine motor skills and concentration to creativity and patience – not to mention the pride they feel when showing off their finished masterpieces.
I don’t know about you, but sometimes my kids just need a new, shiny, never been seen coloring book to get them refocused on art and off their screens.

It’s a quick job, but we found it a bit fiddly to put together on our own, especially when our three-year-old tester was trying to get inside before it was finished. An extra pair of hands would have made the job much easier.
For a fun craft that is perfect for a birthday party, choose an animal coloring page where the animal’s face is large enough to cover a kid’s face.
