What is The all-together painting about?

The toys are excited to paint their own pictures, but their colourful plans quickly go wrong. Spots run into stripes, stripes turn wavy and splodges appear everywhere. Soon, everyone is frustrated by the messy results. Then Old Bear has an idea: instead of painting alone, why not work together? As the toys combine their ideas and colours, they create something surprising and wonderful. This cheerful story shows how teamwork, patience and imagination can turn a muddle into a masterpiece.
