The Painters in Decorator Land

When Roly Roller and his crew roll into town,

Dark, gloomy clouds fill the sky over Decorator Land.

A menacing smile has replaced his usual frown.

With each splash of grey, another beautiful colour is lost.

Oh no! A town without colour! Roly and his crew must be STOPPED! 

Ready to do battle against Roly is a family of paintbrushes in dungarees, 

Dad loves red, Mum loves yellow, Ross loves blue, and Mable loves green.

Will grey win over colour, or colour win over grey?

Join the characters in Decorator Land to find out which one will be triumphant today!
