Who this book is for
My Dad Is in the Army is a colouring book for children aged 4 to 9 whose dad is in the army. 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 Dad do at work?" It makes a thoughtful gift for a child with a dad in the army, and a fun way to talk about the work Dad does every day. Download the PDF and print it at home as many times as your licence allows.
Great as a Father's Day gift or for community helpers lessons.
About this book
My Dad Is in the Army lets children see, and colour, their dad's real working day. Every page shows Dad at work, from morning marching and training to building bridges, helping people after a storm and marching in the big parade. Plus the funny moments (a muddy obstacle course, a goat that joins the parade and a tent that won't stay up) and some big adventures: a mission to the moon, helping a dragon and delivering Santa's presents by helicopter.
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 Dad" page to draw him and fill in his name and favourite food
- A "Draw Yourself in the Army" page and a colour-in thank-you card for Dad
- A superhero finale: "My Dad Helps Keep Everyone Safe. He Is My Superhero!"
- Large 8.5 x 11 inch pages with bold, easy outlines for ages 4 to 9
