Drawing Pads

We have all had one at some point. Drawing pads are just plain sheets of paper ready for drawing on. These types of books are perfect for children to be able to express their creativity, emotions, and feelings. As the pages are blank, there are no limits to stop them from transferring their thoughts onto the paper.

Geometric Drawing Books

These books for drawing are aimed at both children and adults. The books are based on Mandalas, which are Hindu symbols with shapes and lines surrounding a center point, usually within a square. These books are very useful to help children learn more about the use of colors and to enhance their ability to combine colors. These types of drawing books are very good with bright colors and because of the shapes and symbols, are an ideal way for children to relax whilst coloring in.
