I've have a problem with many colouring books for children: some initial effort goes into the colouring, but the chances are that little will be kept on a long-term basis and it's not particularly satisfying. How much better would it be if the colouring produced something which could be sent to someone else, who would appreciate that it's unique and that effort and care has gone into the card? How much better to give a child something like ''The Colouring Book of Cards and Envelopes: Unicorns and Rainbows'' than an ordinary colouring book which will soon be discarded?
You get a book with twenty-four cards, envelopes and stickers. Colouring the card front could well take care of a wet afternoon and then there's are another three surfaces, all of which require some colouring. There's plenty of space for a ''personal'' message inside and you even get to say on the back who did the colouring. The card comes out of the book easily and cleanly - in fact , it's best to do this before the colouring begins and there's the added benefit that you could have several children working on cards from the book at the same time.
The envelopes are works of art: you get to colour in a ''full'' page, twenty-seven centimetres square with quite an intricate design and this forms the ''inside'' of the envelope. The corners of this page then fold inwards (don't worry - there are instructions and the page is gently contoured to guide you) to form the envelope. There are designs in each of the corners which you fold. Finally, when the card is popped inside you can seal the envelope with one of the stickers provided. If I was sending the card I coloured by post I'd be inclined to put it inside another envelope as a slightly-loose flap can catch on the sorting machinery and tear - which would be a tragedy.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy of the book to the Bookbag. I've got hours of fun ahead of me!
We also have seen the [[The Colouring Book of Cards and Envelopes - Christmas by Rebecca Jones|The Colouring Book of Cards and Envelopes - Christmas]] which takes care of all the cards you need to send over the year! {{toptentext|list=Our Top 10 Colouring Books for Lockdown}}
