When I was busy packing for our holiday last week, I noticed my daughter was busy arranging her stuff too. I quietly noticed the things she was keen to take along in her backpack. Not many toys, much to my surprise. The bag was quickly filled with colouring books of all sizes and dozens of colour pencils, crayons and paints! The colouring sets and the books now hold a special place in our house and she spends hours with them daily! If you are looking for colouring books for your kids that not only help them fill the pages, but also learn more in the process- look no further! KSP brings you the list of the best names in the market! (P.S- while the kids are away, you can try your hands on them, too!)
