Who this book is for

My Mum Looks After Children is a colouring book for children aged 4 to 9 whose mum is a childcare worker. Inside are 34 big pictures of a real working day: getting ready in the morning and heading off to work, the busy, funny and even magical moments of the job, and coming home for the best hugs at the end of the day. Each picture has its own page and bold, simple outlines that are easy for small hands to colour. It answers the big question every child asks: "What does my Mum do at work?" It makes a thoughtful gift for the child of a childcare worker, and a fun way to talk about the work Mum does every day. Download the PDF and print it at home as many times as your licence allows.

Great as a Mother's Day gift or for community helpers lessons.

About this book

What does Mum do all day? Now kids can colour it in!

My Mum Looks After Children lets children see, and colour, their mum's real working day at nursery. Every page shows Mum at work, from finger painting, song time, sandcastles, snack time and nap time. Plus the funny moments (glitter glue everywhere, sitting on the tiny chairs and a mountain of little shoes) and some big adventures: a picnic with the teddy bears, baby dragons and a rainbow slide.

Inside you'll find:
  • 34 original pictures, each with a big title kids can colour too
  • Single-sided pages, so markers won't spoil the next picture
  • A "Meet My Mum" page to draw her and fill in her name and favourite food
  • A "Draw yourself playing at nursery" page and a colour-in thank-you card for Mum
  • A superhero finale: "My Mum Looks After Lots of Children. She Is My Superhero!"
  • Large 8.5 x 11 inch pages with bold, easy outlines for ages 4 to 9
A thoughtful gift for Mother's Day, a thank-you to the nursery team or a birthday. Part of the My Hero at Work series, with a Dad book and a Mum book for every job.
