5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic! Creative, engaging, utterly absorbing..., October 18, 1999
By Auliya "An Avid Reader" (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews
  
This review is from: The Anti-Coloring Book: Creative Activities for Ages 6 and Up (Paperback)
These books are extraordinary for building a child's ego and self-confidence. The books are structured so that the child's imagination and the child's opinions about life are in the spotlight. The anti-coloring books make kids feel good! They are books that actually manage to give kids the attention they need - rather than demanding attention from the kid. The anti-coloring books continually ask questions about the child, her thoughts, her feelings, her visions. They are brilliant mechanisms for encouraging confidence and creativity. From a parent's perspective, the finished books become a window onto the emotional and psychological landscape of your children. What do they really think? What makes them angry? What are they wishing for? I highly recommend any of the anti-coloring books for children of all ages. Mom and Dad should try them too!

5.0 out of 5 stars creative, and intelligent, August 28, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Anti-Coloring Book: Creative Activities for Ages 6 and Up (Paperback)
I was given this book as a little girl. As an adult I am purchasing this book to share with my students. So much better than your average coloring bok, this book is thought invoking and inspires creativity in all ages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two thumbs up, most definitely!!, March 1, 2004
By A Customer
As a parent and former early childhood educator, I am pleased to write this review. In a day and age when entertainment does not require much thought process from our young ones (i.e. video games, pointless television shows, computer software, etc.), it is very refreshing to stumble upon the Anti-Coloring Book. Our children are exposed to endless amounts of effort-free fun stuff; and ultimately, young minds become lazy, trained, and forgetful of the power of imagination. How can you say no to a product that fosters developmentally appropriate learning, and promotes self awareness, self confidence, self expression, and independent thinking?? Help your child to break free from the lines and boundaries that hold them back. Kudos to the creators... it's time to get real about our children's needs!

Fantastic book that allows children to stretch their imagination and creativity. I love it!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but check the age range and content carefully
I ordered two of these for six year olds but ended up putting them aside for older children. I'd say eight or ten would be the youngest. Read more

I work with kids in K-6 and I bought this for them. The book is very cool and it has been fun seeing what the kids do with the different pages!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, creative, absorbing - what more could you want?
I grew up with these books, and am thrilled they are still in print. The Anti-Coloring books are a wonderful alternative to mindlessly coloring between the lines. Read more

I remember having one of these books when I was a kid. And now, twenty years later, I have another one. I love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous for 9 year old
My son is 9 and absolutely loves this book. We've limited it to one activity a day so that he doesn't finish it too quickly (there are only about 35 or 40 in the book). Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Fond memories from 2nd grade
After recess every day we would be given a page from the Anti Coloring book and allowed to draw to our hearts content for half an hour. It was one of my favorite times of the day.

5.0 out of 5 stars I grew up with Anti-Coloring Books
