Coloring Books

From as far back in time as Sumer, 4000 BC, wonderful art has been created. This was the inspiration for our coloring books, which are designed to present that art in an easy-to-understand format. While coloring, even the youngest artist can learn about  people of other times and places. The Ancient Near East, Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece and Rome, Ancient China and India through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, all provide both simple and complex subjects. Follow your own color scheme or delve into the study of the pigments of another era.

Paper Dolls

Great Women Paper Dolls and Infamous Women Paper Dolls go through history to present interesting women with beautiful dresses to color and exchange. The wives of Henry VIII wore intricately fashioned garments which can be magnificent when colored. Queen Elizabeth I has numerous changes of costume, and Royal Family Paper Dolls forms a sort of time capsule.

My grandson has been fascinated with anything that is flight-oriented. He loves rockets and airplanes of any description. He has recently been learning about WWII planes. He could not wait to color and cut out these planes and put them together (with a little help from his mom). He made a second plane the next day. I think this book will keep him busy for some time!
My grandson's dream come true!
