This trimester, in preschool (age of 3), we introduced the story of Hervé Tullet, a children’s author known for his interactive, creative, and movement-filled works. His visual and spontaneous style facilitates activities that perfectly connect with artistic expression and the discovery of color.

The book we worked on has become a story full of magic, where the children become the protagonists: colors are born, mixed, and transformed through their actions.
Hervé Tullet (1958) is a French author and illustrator widely recognized for creating innovative, interactive, and play-based children’s books.
He is famous for books that:
Invite the child to touch, press, shake, or blow on the page,
Work creatively with colors, dots, and shapes,
Stimulate imagination, participation, and experimentation.
Tullet also holds artistic workshops for children around the world and is considered one of the most original creators in the current children’s landscape.
Here is a selection of his most well-known titles, especially suitable for children from 0 to 7 years old:
⭐ 1. Un livre (Press Here)
Possibly his most famous title.
It invites children to press dots, shake the book, and see what happens. A masterpiece of interactivity without technology.
⭐ 2. Couleurs (Colors)
Children experiment with mixing colors, rubbing dots, and discovering how colors “react.”
⭐ 3. A doigt (From Point to Point)
The child follows lines with their finger and progresses through a path full of visual elements.
⭐ 4. Un jeu (Game of Fingers)
Proposes mini-games to do with fingers inside the pages.
⭐ 5. Le livre des couleurs (The Color Book)
A more poetic book that plays with the combination of tones and textures.
⭐ 6. Where’s the Elephant?
A more “narrative” album with themes like nature and habitat loss, in a minimalist style.
⭐ 7. Flowers / Games of Light / Cardboard books for little ones
More visual series, ideal for handling and exploring.
⭐ 8. L’Atelier de Hervé Tullet
Not a story, but a creative workshop book full of ideas for making art with children.
To bring the story to life, we have worked with various materials, light, transparencies, and artistic techniques that allow exploration of the relationship between colors. This approach is closely aligned with Reggio Emilia-inspired proposals, which place the child at the center of the creative process.
The use of light, both natural and artificial, has allowed the children to observe nuances, transparencies, and new color combinations, encouraging sensory and deep learning.
This project has enhanced aspects such as:
Spontaneous creativity
The relationship between movement and color
Free experimentation
Artistic vision
Attention, concentration, and observation
This project reinforces our pedagogical vision: art, light, and creativity are powerful tools to develop thinking, expression, emotions, and the ability to be amazed.
In the classroom, magic is real… because it is born from the hands of the children. ✨
