Get your crayons ready! We have just added a delicious new batch of illustrations to our Taste of the World collection. Volume 3 is packed with global cuisine that will make your mouth water and spark your child's creativity. Let's take a look at what's new on the menu, along with some fresh coloring tips to make these dishes pop off the page!
First up on our culinary world tour, we are bringing some rich, savory classics to your coloring table.
Have you ever tried coloring a perfectly flaky crust? The new Traditional Beef Wellington page is the perfect opportunity to practice the "Golden Bake" coloring technique. Coloring Tip: To make pastries look freshly baked, start by lightly shading the entire crust with a pale yellow crayon. Next, gently layer a light orange over the top, and finish by pressing harder with a brown pencil around the edges and crosshatched lines.
Next, we travel to Korea for a beautifully arranged dish!
The Traditional Korean Bibimbap Bowl is a fantastic way to teach kids about "eating the rainbow." Coloring Tip: Encourage your little artists to use bright, high-contrast colors for the different vegetable sections. Use vibrant greens for the spinach, deep oranges for the carrots, and a bright, sunny yellow for the fried egg in the middle. Color blocking like this makes the final picture look incredibly striking.
Let's not forget the vibrant flavors of Spain!
Our Traditional Spanish Paella page offers a fun color-blending challenge. Paella is famous for its golden saffron rice. Kids can practice blending yellow and a tiny touch of red or orange to get that signature golden hue, contrasting beautifully with bright green peas and bright yellow lemon wedges.
No menu is complete without some delectable treats and snacks!
Our Traditional Belgian Waffles are ready for a splash of color. This page is great for practicing depth and shadows. Coloring Tip: Tell your young artists to use a standard brown or tan for the top of the waffle, but switch to a much darker shade of brown inside the little square pockets. This simple trick creates an illusion of depth, making the waffles look thick and realistic!
Finally, grab a snack with our Traditional German Pretzels Board. The challenge here is capturing the coarse salt sprinkled on top. Coloring Tip: Instead of trying to color the salt, use the "negative space" technique! Leave tiny spots completely blank (white) while coloring the dark brown pretzel crust around them. The white paper showing through will look exactly like bright salt crystals.
