Under Water and Under Earth are inspired by Under Water, Under Earth and inspire children to think about what happens under the ground and in our seas and rivers as well as who lives in them. The books contain 36 drawing activities on sturdy A4 pages which can be torn out and the back of each page also has an underwater or underground creature to colour.
In Under Water my daughter had fun learning The Diver's Language, cleaning up the lake and finding the shortest route through the wreck of The Titanic. In Under Earth she enjoyed choosing and colouring in items to take with her on a Cave Expedition and Draw the Burrowing Animals led her to think about the myriad of creatures that live underground. Both books made us think more about the natural world and are great for helping children to improve their drawing skills.
