Old Time Things

A British colouring book for seniors and people living with dementia: 54 large, simple pictures of everyday life

Pour a cuppa and pick a picture.

Old Time Things is a British colouring book full of the everyday things many people grew up with: the red phone box, a 99 with a flake, the corner sweet shop, bath night by the fire, the steam train and a day at the seaside. The pictures start very simple, with a single milk bottle, and grow a little more detailed page by page, so there's always one that suits the day.
