Dot! Scribble! Go!

The creator of the brilliant Press Here has come up with another ingenious interactive book.

Here, you dip your magic drawing finger into the colour palette on the top left of each page, and follow the instructions. Draw a big yellow dot here, and a blue line here, and so on. When you turn the page, you see the results of your ‘painting’. It is so simple but so effective. 

It’s particularly nice that the child is asked to make very simple marks – dots, lines and scribbles – and is then encouraged to be creative in imagining what they could be. Is it a flower? A car? A bird? Ultimately, it can be whatever you, the artist, say it is, of course.

The narrator encourages you to go and create your own pictures now. And hopefully every reader will feel heartened and inspired that they can do this. 

Reading this book together is an extremely enjoyable experience for adult and child alike.
