Farm Magic Painting: Just Add Water to Paint! is a reusable magic painting activity book from the Campbell Magic Painting series, created by Campbell Books and illustrated by Axel Scheffler, the bestselling illustrator of The Gruffalo. Designed for young children, this interactive board book lets little artists reveal bright colours simply by brushing the pages with water—no paints or markers required.

Children can explore a lively farmyard filled with friendly animals as they colour each scene. Once the pages dry, the colours disappear, allowing the book to be used again and again for mess-free creative fun. 

About the Book

Young children are invited to join the fun on a busy farm, where they can:

• Wake up the noisy cockerel
• Visit friendly farm animals
• Explore the bustling farmyard
• Help the farmer feed the hungry chicks

Using the included paintbrush and plain water, children simply brush over the black-and-white pictures to reveal vibrant colours. After the pages dry, the colours fade away, making the book completely reusable.
