Kiki Kangaroo Activity Coloring Book

Creative Fun for Kids 4 To 13

Beschreibung

This glossy hardcover activity and coloring book is a creative, hands-on companion to the original storybook, Why Won't You Go to School, Kiki Kangaroo?: How Everyone Helped Him-School Is Scary, Until It's Not. Designed to support emotional growth, confidence, and self-expression, it's printed on thick, bright white 70 lb paper, making it perfect for markers, crayons, and colored pencils-no bleed-through, just bold, beautiful color. Kiki Kangaroo is usually a happy, bouncy joey-but not today. He's nervous, overwhelmed, and sure he won't be going to school. Between a strict teacher, noisy celebrations, and too many rules, school just feels like too much. Luckily, his support team-Mom-Jill and Granny-Roo-are ready to help Kiki feel safe, understood, and ready to try again. Each page of the original story is included in black and white, inviting children to use their imagination and color Kiki's world their way. Alongside the story scenes, children ages 4 to 13 will explore: ¿ Critical thinking questions that invite reflection on feelings, friendships, and problem-solving ¿ Activity pages including word searches, matching games, journal prompts, and sensory check-ins ¿ A gentle format ideal for screen-free engagement Whether used on its own or with the original picture book, this hardcover edition is a powerful tool for parents, teachers, and counselors to deepen conversations about emotional regulation, anxiety, and the bravery it takes to try again. Color. Reflect. Problem-solve. Grow.
