Rosie Flo's Colouring Books

Rosie Flo's colouring books encourage children's creativity with a new method that is all their own. The beautiful drawings and outfits serve as a catalyst for kids to build on them in their own personal way. By filling in the blanks - heads, arms, feet - they collaborate with the original drawings and engage with them in a rewarding and engrossing interaction.


The Rosie Flo colouring books evolved through hours of sitting and drawing with my daughters when they were small. They gave me instructions as to what I must draw and each time I promptly obeyed.
 
The book ended up as a collection of dresses, some eccentric, some with a vague narrative but all of them lacked the head and limbs required to give them the character of Rosie Flo (a name made up from Sasha and Sophie's middle names). I was fascinated with how they both maintained such prolonged interest with this way of drawing and felt there must be other like minded girls around.
 
In designing the books, I have paid attention to all things which irritated me as a child.
 
The paper quality is thick enough to avoid showing through or damaging the picture on the next page. It is sturdy enough to withstand a few journeys without falling apart and small enough to fit in a child's hand luggage.
 
The age range is between around 4 to 12 and beyond. We design and publish all the colouring books in-house at our graphic design company Streeten Kamlish.
