Farm and Garden is a 110-page bold and easy coloring book for children aged 3 to 6, by Nora Ember. Not on sale yet.

Every picture is one thing, drawn big: a hen, a tractor, a carrot, a flower. The outlines are thicker than in any grown-up coloring book and every space is wide enough for a crayon held in a fist, so a three year old can finish a page and be proud of it.

What is inside

  • A tractor, a barn, a hen, a carrot: farm animals, vehicles, vegetables and flowers, one to a page
  • Extra thick lines and only large spaces, sized for a crayon held in a fist
  • For a child of 7 or more, Cute Animals in Lantern Coloring is the step up
  • 52 big, simple pictures, one to a right-hand page with the back left blank so felt tips are safe, and a page to test your crayons before you start.

The pictures are made with an image generation tool, then checked one by one by us. How a book gets made.

Who is it for?

Farm and Garden is drawn for children aged 3 to 6: one big picture to a page and lines thick enough for a crayon held in a fist. A grown-up colouring at the same table may prefer the finer Lantern Coloring books.

How many pictures, and how big are the pages?

52 pictures on 110 pages, 8.5 x 8.5 in, one to a page, from the first (tractor) to the last (worm in an apple).
