As a mother of an almost 4-year-old, I am always on the lookout for books that can gently blend learning with creativity—and Magic Words Story Based Colouring Book did exactly that for us. Designed for children aged 4 and above, this workbook beautifully combines colouring pages with simple stories and art activities. Published by Spectrum Art Foundation, it turns learning into an enjoyable, stress-free experience through drawing, colouring, and imagination. Hat’s off to the author of the book Sumita Bose for writing such an impactful and meaningful story for kids. The illustrations by Swagata Nandy gave this book a new creative height .
What I loved most is how naturally it encourages my child to sit, focus, and engage. Without feeling like “study time,” it helps build fine motor skills, concentration, and early vocabulary—while my little one happily explores colours and familiar scenes.
Story Plot – Magic Words
Unlike regular colouring books that offer random pages, this one follows a story-based flow, which instantly caught my child’s interest. Each page feels connected, guiding children through a gentle narrative as they colour and draw. While the storyline is simple, the idea of Magic Words introduces themes of positivity, imagination, and little moments of wonder that children naturally relate to. The main character of the story John, the little boy appeared so relatable to my son and he connected instantly with the book.
For my child, it wasn’t just about colouring—it felt like stepping into a tiny story world. This narrative touch makes the book especially appealing for kids who enjoy listening to stories while doing activities.
Illustrations – Magic Words
The illustrations are perfectly suited for young children—bold outlines, friendly characters, and scenes that are easy to colour without frustration. As a parent, I truly appreciate how the pages are not overcrowded with details. This helps children gain confidence, stay within the lines, and enjoy the colouring process without feeling overwhelmed.
Because the visuals are connected to the story, my child could relate to what was happening on each page, which kept the interest alive from start to finish.
Writing Style– Magic Words
The language used is simple, clear, and child-friendly—ideal for early readers and pre-readers with a bit of adult support. The short lines of text blend seamlessly with the pictures, helping children connect words with visuals. I noticed how this encouraged curiosity and early reading confidence in my child without any pressure.
The tone throughout the book feels playful and encouraging, which makes children feel happy and motivated rather than instructed. Worth a mention is the question-and-answer section at the end…. It helps the child to recollect the lessons of the story in a unique way.
Final Verdict– Magic Words
From a parent’s perspective, Magic Words Story Based Colouring Book is more than just a colouring story book—it’s a thoughtful creative companion for young children. It beautifully combines:
✅ Storytelling with colouring and drawing ✅ Age-appropriate content for 4+ ✅ Creativity, focus, and early learning skills ✅ Simple text and engaging visuals
While it isn’t meant to be academically intense, it works wonderfully for nurturing imagination, improving fine motor skills, and supporting early literacy in a joyful way. For quiet afternoons, creative playtime, or bonding moments, this book has become a lovely addition to our home—and one I would happily recommend to other parents of preschoolers.
