Inside

Every adventure has three pages.

  1. A sheet of pieces

    A rocket, a dinosaur, scoops of ice cream, a rabbit's ears: everything to colour and cut out. The sheet comes out of the book, so cutting is easy.

  2. A world

    A big, empty scene waiting for colour. This is where the pieces go.

  3. A finished example

    To show what's possible, not to copy. Your version can look completely different.

Adventure 3 Rocket to Moonbeam Bay

  1. Sheet of pieces to colour and cut out: Rocket to Moonbeam Bay

    Little hands your child

    The pieces

    The rocket's body, nose cone, fins, round window and flame, plus a smiling shooting star. Your child colours them all.

  2. Empty world to colour in: Rocket to Moonbeam Bay

    Grown-up hands you

    The world

    Planets, stars and the grey craters of Moonbeam Bay. The night sky around the rocket is for the grown-up.

  3. Finished example: A red rocket lifting off above a cratered moon, with planets and a smiling shooting star.

    Together both of you

    Your adventure

Good to know

What age is Ismika for?

What do we need?

Colouring pencils, crayons or felt-tips, child-safe scissors and glue. That's it.

Not at all. The finished example is there for inspiration. You choose the colours and where everything goes.
