Here’s a fun way for little children to count down the days to Christmas: dip the brush into water, sweep it over the pictures (1 – 24) and watch as colour floods the pages.
Simple, neat (there’s a holder of the brush on the front and a special flap to stop the water seeping through) and satisfying, and the pictures are full of the joys of the season featuring skating scenes (with cosily dressed little animals), snowflakes, carol singers, gingerbread houses and more.
It should help the wait for the big day seem shorter for little ones, and they could share the pictures with friends and family, or just stick them on the fridge to raise festive cheer all round!
Brighten the advent season with a magic painting for every day of December, with designs from snowflakes and baubles to ice-skating animals and gingerbread houses - and, of course, elves galore.
Just use the brush provided to sweep water over the pictures and reveal rich, glowing colours. A mess-free way to keep children busy during the holiday.
Use the back cover flap to prevent colours from seeping through to the pages beneath.
Finished pictures can be cut out and displayed,or given as keepsakes.
