7 coloring books for weird parents raising weird kids
by Joyce Slaton posted in Products & Prizes
Coloring is in style for adults or something, but it's forever been cool for parent/kid combos, who can sit and do something peaceful together. But there's no reason you have to confine yourself to lame animal or licensed-character themes. Teach your child something about art (or possibly about irony) with these groovy books.
1. The Andy Warhol Coloring Book
Introduce your kids to the pop-art master with this 32-page book that makes coloring line art out of such iconic Warhol works as one of his Campbell's Soup Cans, or French Bulldog. Bonus points if you put on the Velvet Underground's "Banana" album at the same time you color it. The same company, Mudpuppy, also sells Andy Warhol Soup Can Crayons for $9.99. (Galison, $9.99)
2. The Grey Gardens Coloring Books
If it's important to you to introduce your child to the joys of parent/adult child cohabitation or the culty camp classic documentary, this 3-book set will prove instructive, with blank panels to color including "This little book is going to keep me straight" and "The Libra husband is not an easy man to please." Below, Edie Bouvier Beale proclaims "I do terrific dances." (Greygardenscoloringbooks, $30)
3. Unicorns are Jerks
If my fifth-grade T-shirts are to be believed, unicorns divide their time between flying under rainbows, dipping their horns into waterfalls to produce magical sprays, and chivalrously toting around fairies....
