Colouring book the root children – Seccorell

This lovely Seccorell colouring book helps children get ready for Spring! The colouring book contains illustrations by Annette Frankholz of scenes based on the classic children’s story book the story of the root children (Wurzelkindern) by Sibylle von Olfers.

With its large colouring areas, the book is suited for painting with the Seccorell smudge pastel paint sticks to colour and engage with the changing of the seasons.

With the help of the colouring pictures, children learn about the recurring cycle in nature: after their long winter hibernation, the little root children burst into life in the spring and go out into the world with their newly sewn colourful clothes made of flowers and grass. When summer comes, the root children are free to play in the beautiful fields, ponds and meadows. Until the cold autumn wind starts to blow and brings them back into the arms of mother earth.

A beautiful story book popular at Waldorf schools worldwide, the story of the root children has been loved by generations of children!

The colouring book is printed on high-quality FSC paper in Germany by Esslinger Verlag and is suited for children aged 3 to 5 years old. It can also be used by adults for mindfulness colouring.
