Zizi the bee

Who this is
Zizi is the bee, and the only member of the cast with stripes drawn into the body rather than left plain.
What is in the picture
The two stripes across her middle are narrow compared with everything else in the set, so this is the page for a child who has started to care about staying inside lines. Her wings are large and best left pale. The antennae end in two small dots.
Colouring it with a toddler
The hardest page here, and the one to save for when a child wants a challenge rather than a quick win.
Thick crayons beat pencils at this age — they need no grip strength and they do not break when a child leans on them. Expect the first few attempts to be one colour scribbled across everything; staying inside a line comes later, and it comes on its own.
Colour it on screen instead
Zizi is also in the PlayKiko colouring game, where tapping an area fills it and nothing goes outside the lines. Useful on a train, where crayons are a mistake.
