Who this book is for
My Mum Is a Handywoman is a colouring book for children aged 4 to 9 whose mum is a handywoman. 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 handywoman, 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, for tools pretend play or for community helpers lessons.
About this book
My Mum Is a Handywoman lets children see, and colour, their mum's real working day. Every page shows Mum at work, from changing light bulbs and fixing dripping taps to oiling squeaky doors, painting walls and mending the garden gate. Plus the funny moments (a squeaky door that sings, a paint-splattered nose and a mop that won't behave) and some big adventures: a repair job on the moon, fixing a dragon's castle and mending Santa's sleigh.
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 Fixing Things" page and a colour-in thank-you card for Mum
- A superhero finale: "My Mum Can Fix Anything. She Is My Superhero!"
- Large 8.5 x 11 inch pages with bold, easy outlines for ages 4 to 9
