Coloring Book for Kids Review

Coloring Book for Kids is a digital colouring book that is explicitly designed for children. The free portion of this game features 3 different subjects for anyone to colour in. With many others available to colour in provided you pay for the full access to the game.

Considering this is a colouring game it isn’t very creative as to what one might have expected. Namely because rather than providing you with the option of colouring anywhere on the picture you want as you would with a physical colouring book in the real world. Instead what you have is a colouring system in which you click on a segment on the picture, such as the background or a petal and it colours it in for you.

I feel that it makes pictures look basic, granted this game is meant for children. However how many people will want to just doodle all over the page. Maybe they may want to add a more realistic effect to picture such as shadows.

To add to this some of the images in this game don’t function properly. A shining example of this is the image shown above. Whilst I was colouring a wall in, the game then coloured a lot more in. This bug is due to the fact that there was no line to separate it from everything else. The game did actually colour it in the cabinet which I think is silly. As I wouldn’t really have expected that 2 different areas would have the same colour. Finally after you have done your colouring you get to put an instagram style filter on your picture. You can also skip this and then save the image as one of the file types selected.

Selection wise each theme offer 18-34 different pages for you to colour in and there is 3 themes to use unless you pay for full access to the game. The 3 themes in question are quite cartoony and this is a cartoon based art game with no alternatives such as patterns on offer. There is a full access pass to purchase which is £9.29 and offers 14 different themes(at this moment in time) to choose from.

Although I think that most of the themes on offer are relatable to children. However, I don’t why the Bible should be one of the subjects in the game. Particularly because there is other topics to be chosen. That are more relevant to children such as toys or school.

I feel that even at 66p per pack it is a waste of money. I think this as there is colouring pages that are freely available on the internet that you can colour in. You could even use images found online in an art program like paint. Although a greater idea is get access to a colouring page/book and do it physically.

Despite this, each topic has a decent selection of pictures. Generally it took me no more than 2 minutes to colour in one page. Frankly I spent more time deciding what shade of colour I should use on each part of the picture. As on most of the pictures the covering of each section only takes a second and most sections are big. Although on some pictures there are small sections that some people may struggle to click on. Otherwise this game generally is very easy play on.

Overall I would avoid Coloring Book for Kids because it provides little content, even if you purchase the pass. The amount of content no matter how small or large is the issue. Fundamentally what is on offer is basic regardless to if it meant for children. Personally if a child wanted an art program to use. I recommend letting them use paint and putting a colouring page on it for them to scribble on. You can better yet get them an actual colouring book to colour in.
