Uncle Paul's book of Doodle Dents
The most frequently asked question we get is
“Can we have more Doodle Dents designs please?” After that, it's
“How do you create such fun, imaginative designs?”
The answer to this is quite simply, we harness the magic from the imagination of children. For people new to Doodle Dents, you might like to read our back story, 'What makes Doodle Dents so Special?', and meanwhile, in the case of Uncle Paul’s Book of Doodle Dents, here’s how we did it – it's
really rather fun…
Ingredients:
• 1 x Inventor of Doodle Dents (Violet)
• 2 x Chief Doodlers (Bertie & Immy)
• 1 x Uncle (Paul)
• 1 x Topic – ‘My favourite things’
• Some paper & pens
Uncle Paul, being Uncle Paul (and for those who know him will totally understand what I mean), made a grand entrance in his favourite fancy dress costume. This immediately set the scene and translated into ‘animals’, and in particular the more exotic, tropical and jungle animals. After the inevitable outfit swapping and running around the garden, the serious part begins – how do we Doodle Dent this favourite thing and what should it look like?
The team grab their pens and paper and get to work… what is the focal point? Well, in this case it’s obvious – the bird! What does it look like? What other characters should feature? What are their characteristics. After much discussion, giggles and inspiration, we are left with wonderful themes!
The next bit involves some serious & specialist print and design work, which we won’t bore you with, but equally must be acknowledged as a crucial part that makes Doodle Dents possible for the children (and you, secretly)!
So in the case of Uncle Paul’s Edition, the four fabulous designs include:
(1) The Animal Kingdom
Bring to life animals from around the world, with bright tropical birds, African animals, slithering snakes, friendly frogs and cheeky monkeys!
There are four sheets of The Animal Kingdom in Uncle Paul's Book of Doodle Dents, making it perfect to experiment with different colours and share with friends and family.
(2) The Space Adventurer
Capture the sense of adventure & let your imagination blast off out of this world! Look back on Earth, dodge Saturn, say hello to the friendly space folk and wave at the moon.
There are also four sheets of The Space Adventurer in Uncle Paul's Book of Doodle Dents - excellent!
(3) Wonderous Wizardry
Everyone loves a wizard. Magic and mystery. Mix up a spell, play a joke on the witch, chat to the pumpkin and chase away the rat!
With four sheets of the Wonderous Wizardry in Uncle Paul's Book of Doodle Dents, see whether different colour variations spark the imagination to think of different spells...
(4) Feel the Beat, Street Dance!
Put on your dancing shoes, turn up the music and rock the world!
Also with four Feel the Beat, Street Dance sheets in Uncle Paul's Book of Doodle Dents that makes 16 Doodle Dents sheets. With each one taking on average 45 minutes to complete, that's 12 hours of uninterrupted, calming, creative fun.
We had a LOT of fun bringing this book to life and we hope, as per the idea of Doodle Dents, it provides you and your children, hours of uninterrupted, calming, creative fun.
