MindWare Color Counts: Travel the World Color by Number Book

Color book

My complaint with this book is that it uses very few colors in each picture, and they are all the same (yellow, orange, red, light blue, dark blue, light green, dark green, purple). The color numbers don't match the other books. The pictures are a bit more complicated than the other books (which is fine), but using the same 9 colors repeatedly gets boring.

I enjoyed this coloring book because it reminded me somewhat of the Venus Paradise color by number pictures I did as a youth. But I wish these pictures had more variety of colors. None of them use more than 8 or 9 colors and most of them are the same colors over and over. These pictures are detailed and it would have been nice to have different shadings of even the same color. That said, though, each numbered picture has a twin that is not numbered so if you have a good sense of color, you can always use your imagination there. I hope if they make more books that each numbered picture would have between 12 and 16 colors to work with. It would be less monotonous.

Lots of fun. The book includes 2 copies of each design except for the last one. The first picture is color by number. The second has no numbers and can be colored however you want. The numbers are a little small, so if you have trouble seeing up close you may need glasses. Highly recommend this book.One suggestions is that you have medium tip and fine tip markers. Some of the spaces are very small and would be best colored with a fine tip marker. In other cases, there are a lot spaces that are the same color and a medium tip marker is more efficient. Some markers may bleed through, so test first. Pages can be torn out for coloring. Colored pencils also work great.

I am a support person working with adults with intellectual disabilities. I have found this to be a great way to help reinforce the significance of following numerics as well as the relationship between numbers. Coloring in itself is therapeutic and enjoyable. The ability to have an accomplished and beautiful end result gives incentive to the individuals to focus on the work. As a result, it is also great for self-esteem.Using the Color Counts "Travel the World" book also shows places of interest that most of heard about, bringing a familiarity to the finished colored pictures. This is a strong left-brain/right-brain development activity for adults. As such, I think it would probably be great for younger people too.

Came on time for Christmas gift

My boys (age 8, 11, 13) loved this! We bought it for a cross-country road trip and it passed the test. It takes time, but can still be done in the car comfortably. They loved being surprised by the picture as they colored and then used the un-numbered pages to make up their own color combos. I'll definitely be buying more for gifts.

My daughter and I love this series of color by number books because they're challenging. They also have repeat un-numbered duplicate pictures you can color using your own choices of colors. Just use your already colored picture as a reference. Those are even more challenging. Very fun indeed.

I would have given it 5 stars, but I was very disappointed with the duplicate images, because instead of a 24 page book of color by numbers, you get 12 pages of color by numbers and 12 pages of duplicate images to color on your own. This has discouraged me from buying more of these books, because I was really looking forward to just the color by number aspect, since that was the whole reason that I purchased it. I have always been a big fan of paint by numbers, so when I saw these, I wanted to buy every one of them, but now I probably won't, because nearly $1 per color by number picture seems awfully expensive.

I love this book, it came from America as cannot purchase in the uk, it comes with one colour by number page and another of the same page that you can fill in yourself with your own colour palette.

Counting Made Fun

Lots of fun coloring.

Great book for coloring as they are numbered and are very basic. Great for relaxation and stress.
