We created The Scary Noise colouring book for several great reasons:
Compliments 'The Scary Noise' storybook
Colouring the characters from the storybook helps children explore the story, the relationships and the meanings in the story further.
Pedro reminisces of when he lived in the castle. This is a theme for Pedro throughout the story.
Robbie listens intently, whilst Pedro hangs upside down.
Helps children colour in
The colouring book is designed with simple pictures to help children colour within the lines. We’ve left plenty of space for children to add their own design and colours around the pictures.
Robbie is in a terrible flap as he is afraid of the scary noise.
Pedro is keeping his cool and thinking of solutions to the scary sound of Boom pah pah, Rap pah pah!
Helps children recognise colours
By referring to the storybook children can learn about and explore colours. Robbie is red and brown. Pedro is grey.
Claws is a lobster, he is orange.
The ocean is blue.
The starfish is yellow.
Helps children with numbers and basic anatomy
There is a fun quiz throughout the colouring book and some of the questions ask ‘how many?’
Nessie has 4 flippers.
Nessie is Claws's friend.
Helps children learn new words
Robbie is a Robin, Pedro is a Bat, Claws is a Lobster and Bubbles is an Octopus.
What instrument is Mouse playing? – a trumpet.
Helps children’s concentration
Colouring in is an activity with a single focus. This can be a relaxing experience for children and helps develop patience.
Helps prepare children for writing
Colouring helps develop the hand and eye co-ordination and fine motor skills required for writing. We have included lines and curved shapes to support this.
It’s fun!
Especially when mum, dad, granny, grandpa or an older brother/sister joins in. Joining in helps children learn how to colour in. Talking about the pictures and colours also helps with language development. This type of play helps with building confidence, especially when children are praised for their art work.
