Kawaii Koala: Beach Babies by Michi Mochi

Two colouring books in this series, Beach babies and Candy pop are offered to the younger readers who loves colouring in. And some older people may like to use them as well.

Each book contains 40 single page illustrations to colour with the added bonus of learning a few things along the way. Beach babies shows the sorts of things they can do at the beach, by themselves or with friends, as a range of beach related activities are there to be coloured in. Pages of fun filled things can be seen: the family in a caravan at a beach shack, tons of balls and ball games, surf boards, beach umbrellas, sailboats and picnics. Each page brings a different aspect of a holiday at the beach to life and kids will love colouring them in, and look for the Australian animals on the pages. A relaxing way to spend some time, perhaps with a meditative aspect for older people with a coloured pencil in their hands.

Lots of pinks, purples and pastels will cover these pages as they are coloured in, and kids will love naming them and the things they contain. Older people with a coloured pencil will find colouring in meditative.

Michi Mochi ís a Melbourne based designer and illustrator with a deep fondness for anything Japanese resulting in 12 books about that country.
