This free coloring-book application provides enough content and features to keep children entertained. Kea Coloring Book lets kids color about 15 images with a few clicks and includes subjects such as snowmen and animals. Parental tools allow adults to design even more templates after their kids tire of the included ones and let them prevent children from printing.
The application provides a few color palettes, and the art tray will let artistic tykes create their own custom palettes using the dropper tool. Small children will appreciate the bright, pleasant interface. Users who need a way to occupy their youngsters should definitely check out Kea Coloring Book, especially since it's totally free.

"Kids love it - easy to use and can add any gif into it"
Version: Kea Coloring Book 3.7
Pros
- ability to add coloring pages (with registration)
- easy to use
- lots of colors
- big buttons
- right amount of tools
- saving is dead simpleCons
importing images into the catalog could be easier.. process is: resize gif to 800 tall, import pictures one at a time, save to catalog folder, etc.
a bulk resize / import feature would make this program awesome.Summary
Kids love it, parental controls could use a touch of improvement. The best I've seen so far for kids 4-8

"awesome coloring in book"
Version: Kea Coloring Book 3.7
Pros
this is really fun. most coloring books just have a fill in but this one lets me paint, so I can add spots and stripes. I also made some new pictures using the parent tools to convert Spongebob, Tinkerbell and some other favourite characters.
Cons
cant think of any?
Summary
the free download was lots of fun. once we did all the pictures i paid for it. it was pretty easy and cost under 10 bucks - which lets me get up to 300 pictures and draw my own. the kids are happy, and spend hours coloring in now. best 10 bucks i spent in a long time.

"Kids adore this colouring book"
Version: Kea Coloring Book 3.7
Pros
Fun coloring in program. Hundreds of pictures to download (I registered). Easy to use for little ones, and still fun and challenging for older kids too.
Cons
I'd like to be able to give a registered copy as a gift, but don't see an option for that?
Summary
My two daughters (4 and 8) both love this colouring book. My little one really enjoys the sounds, especially the OOps button, and has loved all the pictures there are to colour in. My older girl has been busy creating some new pictures for her little sister to colour in.
I have some nephews who I think would love the dinosaurs especially. This would make a lovely gift, but it's not really set up to do that - hint, hint! -
"Good coloring book. Shame its not free anymore."

Cons

"This coloring book is fantastic"
Version: Kea Coloring Book 3.7
Pros
Fun to play with (even for the oldies). Paint with a brush or bucket fill. Love the magic brush. The new zoom makes it easier to add detail. I'm also having lots of fun creating my own pictures using the Parent Tools - so easy!
Cons
none - it's perfect ;-)
Summary
This new version is really cool. Of course my kids love all the coloring in features, but what I'm really loving is the picture editor in the parent tools.
I'd tried to create my own pages before, but found it confusing. The new editor is really easy to use, so I've created lots of new pictures for my kids. And of course with over 300 to download we're not going to run out any time soon.
