A Spanish coloring book for speech therapy and early intervention with toddlers
111 drawings, one per page, the word printed underneath in Spanish. Sold on Amazon in English and Spanish, and available in quantity for a caseload.
The Spanish edition is a separate book, not a translated one. The drawings are the same as in the English edition and the word under each drawing is Spanish, printed in outline letters so it can be colored as well. Nothing else is on the page: one subject, one word, thick outline, white space around it.
Every drawing is a common noun a child of this age is likely to meet: animals, sea animals, food, toys, vehicles, flowers, fairy tale characters. There are 111 of them and they do not repeat, so the same book carries a caseload through a year without the same page coming up twice.
The paperback is on Amazon at a price that makes one copy per child realistic, and any quantity can be ordered there. If you need a set for a whole caseload, or something an ordinary order does not cover, write to us. Ten pages from the book are free to print here, so you can see the line thickness and the size of the drawings before you buy anything.

The book

First Coloring Book for Toddlers Ages 1-3
111 big, simple pictures, hand drawn with thick lines, no small detail, one drawing per page. Animals, fairy-tale characters, flowers, foods and everyday objects keep every page new. The word under each picture can be colored too, so first words and letters come along with the coloring.

Questions parents ask
Is the Spanish edition a translation of the English one?
No, it is a separate book with its own title. The drawings are the same and the word under each drawing is Spanish, not an English word with a label added. A family that speaks Spanish gets a Spanish book.
Can I buy enough copies for my whole caseload?
Yes. The paperback is on Amazon in both languages and any quantity can be ordered there directly. For a larger set, or for anything an ordinary order does not cover, write to us and say how many children it is for.
Can I print pages instead of buying a copy for each child?
Ten pages from the book are free here and may be printed in any number for the children you work with, including copies for families to keep. The rest of the book is not free to copy, which is why the free pages exist.
What age does the book actually work for?
It is made for one to three years old, and in practice it follows the hand rather than the birthday. Children still scribbling across the sheet and children already aiming at the shape both get something from the same page.

Where the developmental facts come from
Ages on this site are typical ranges, not deadlines. Children reach these points at their own pace, and a few months either way is ordinary.
