COLOURS WITHOUT PAINTS
Coloured picture books in which the children, apply the colours themselves, yet do not handle paint, are the latest novelty for young artists. Colours without paint may sound like a riddle, but it is true. Take the A.B.C. book lor example. You see "A for apple" and "beside it the black outline of ■ the apple ready for its colour. Then you turn to, the back of the book, where is a sheet of gummed paper coloured red. The outline of the apple is drawn exactly as you want it, so all you have to do is cut it out and stick it in its place. Simple is it not? . Of course, there are books with much more elaborate ideas and- different colours for all kinds of subjects, including the children of other lands. These books and other marvels of gummed paper art, including a harbour with ships that move and a garden containing lovely flowers in bright colours, will be seen at the British; Industries Fair this year. From "HAROLD GODWIN"; (7). Lower Hutt.
