Inside the game

What you can do

Pages worth coloring

Bears, bunnies and friends at school, on holiday, at a costume party, with a cupcake or a watermelon. Pick a theme, pick a page, and start.

A whole box of tools

Pencil, marker, brush and spray paint, plus a pattern roller and rainbow colors that shift as you draw. Mix them on the same page.

Stickers on top

When the coloring is done, decorate it. Stickers go anywhere on the page, over the lines or beside them.

A blank page to doodle on

No outline and no rules. Draw a sun, a house, a rainbow, or something that has no name yet, with every tool from the coloring pages.

The long version

A coloring book where the crayon wears the crown.

Color King is a coloring and drawing game for toddlers, preschoolers and young kids. Pick a picture, pick a color, pick a tool, and go. The buttons are big, the menus are short, and there is very little between a child and the page.

What's in it

Lots of coloring pages, sorted into themes a child can recognize from the picture on the tile: Around the House, Back to School, Ball Games, Chores & Home, Cold Drinks & Smoothies, Costume Party, Cupcakes, Easter Bunnies & Chicks, Errands & Shopping, Fruit & Sweet Treats, Ghosts & Monsters, Travel & Vehicles and more. Most of them star the same cast of bears, bunnies and friends, doing ordinary things that are fun to color.

How you color

The tool tray along the bottom holds a pencil, a marker for bold strokes, a brush for smooth painting and a spray can for speckled effects. The pattern roller lays down textures instead of flat color, and rainbow mode changes color as the line goes. Everything can be mixed on the same page.

Along the top sit the eraser, undo and redo, and zoom. Zoom in to reach a small corner, zoom back out to see the whole thing. Nothing a child does is permanent unless they want it to be.

Doodle mode

Sometimes the best page is an empty one. Doodle mode opens on white, with the same tools and the same stickers. Suns with faces, houses with smoke, a family of five in a row: whatever turns up.

Picking up where you left off

Artwork saves by itself. Close the app halfway through a cupcake and it will be waiting, half-colored, the next time.

Choose a page, grab a tool, and make it royal.
