The Family Book by Todd ParrThis book is full of Parr's usual super colourful, fun artwork. It depicts families of all shapes, sizes and mixtures. It reinforces the idea that a family is made up of love and it doesn't matter what age, race or gender the members are. It contains a message that is so important to be teaching our kids, especially in this day and age.

DIY colouring pages - Age 2+
Because of all the colour in this book, it cries out for some artistic follow up. Try tracing some of the images from the book and having kids choose which colours to use. Little ones can scribble way and older ones can choose a medium. We have some spray pens that look like spray paint and decided to use them for a bit of fun. You could paint, glue tissue on, use markers, anything really! |
