Colouring Page

A single picture blown up to fill the sheet, drawn with one even, heavy outline so it survives a home printer and gives a small hand a clear edge to stop at. The size setting decides whether the picture is a poster or leaves a margin for a decorative frame; the pattern background fills the space around it with a repeating motif, which turns a two-minute page into a ten-minute one. A caption line can print the picture's name or leave a ruled line for the child to write it themselves.
