Butterfly and I have been reviewing Color It By Numbers.

Color It By Numbers is a series of coloring books that a child can use on the computer.  It is an application for Linux, Mac and Windows, adapted for all screen resolutions, where kids can color in pictures!

The Program features three different coloring modes:
Colour it by numbers - follow the numbers
Colour it to make visible - The picture is divided into many more numbered spaces.
Colour it in your favorite colors - design the picture in your own way.

It's easy to change preset colours, so even though there are assigned colours for the numbered spaces, you can still change the colour to what you want!

The pictures are also automatically saved after exiting the program, so kids won't get upset with lost work. 

It's great for learning numbers and colours, gaining computer skills, and increasing eye hand coordination with hand-on-mouse movements.

My daughter is 3.5 years old so she hasn't mastered the hand-on-mouse movements yet, after practising a bit on her own, I then helped her with the mouse and she told me what colours to put where in the free colouring mode, which seemed to be her favourite way to colour the picture. If there isn't a colour on the screen that Butterfly needed, we chose from the rainbow tube at the top of the screen and then we got to pick the one we needed.

There is an undo button so anything that needs to be re-done, can!

There is also music that plays while colouring, which can easily be turned off at anytime.

The program takes up the whole screen which is good for kids, as it prevents a wandering mouse to click other windows or icons on your desktop that you don't want them to click on!  :)
