Dover Easy Kaleidoscope Stained Glass Coloring Book (Dover Little Activity Books: Art & Desig)

**Please read** honest review. Love this paper.
**NOTE**This is vellum like paper. NOT normal coloring paper! Look up the word. It is a see through paper like a wax type feel. But thick. It helps create the stained glass effect, once colored and put near a light source. These books are tiny notebook sized! Like fit in your purse sized. Dover does however, have regular sized versions of books like these.Pocket sized and easy to take with you! PLEASE READ/LOOK AT SIZE BEFORE PURCHASING! These are mini sized books. The pic ecen shows how small compared to a person's hand. They are made with special vellum like paper. This is to make the pages look like stained glass, once colored in. I LOVE these stained glass books! The size makes it easy to travel with. I love the type of paper used. Dover is my favorite brand when it comes to adult coloring books. (Check out their creative haven series) I will be ordering more! They also have full sized stained glass books! Just make sure to read the description! :)

Dee's thoughts or two cents
Better pay attention to the size. I didn't and it was very disappointing.

Wow!
I ordered this little Easy Kaleidoscope Stained Glass Coloring Book to go along with some new gel pens I got for art work! The pictures are GREAT! I can't wait to get to work on this! Needless to say, these little books from Dover are almost all perfection, and this one most definitely did not disappoint!!If you are an adult who hasn't done any coloring for ages, you are most definitely in for a treat with these adult coloring books. They are wonderfully designed, and they have an almost magical ability to take you away from your cares for a while, and are so very calming and peaceful to work on! Very highly recommended -- and the price is GREAT, so you can order a bunch of them!

A relaxing book that gives beautiful end results.
This is a pretty neat little coloring book. I'd been wanting a book like this for awhile now. As someone with several anxiety disorders, coloring is a very calming activity and I am really happy to see companies making "adult coloring books" now. While this may not be in the same line as the others, the end result is the same. I had a nice, calming time coloring in this book and I was very pleased with the results. The only drawbacks for me are the fact that it's so small and that the coloring pages aren't perforated. The point is to take the sheets you color out of the book to hang on window, but it's very hard to get them out of the book now. A little time and patience got it out, but I can't understand why the pages aren't perforated to make this easier.

Don't buy this product. It's a rip off!!
This is a rip off!! The book is only 5" X 6"!! That info was not mentioned anywhere in the description!! The designs are super tiny so very hard to color and each page has excessive amounts of black. I would have never paid seperate shipping for this but that fact was hidden as well. All items I purchased were listed as being distributed by Amazon...why were each of them shipped individually!! It was rated 3.5 stars so I thought it would be OK. The reviews would have to be fake cause there is NO WAY anyone would give it a rating higher than 2 stars!!

A cute little pocket sized entertainment for those who want something that's not electronic
This booklet is SMALL folks. Purse sized or inside a man's breast pocket small. The designs are lovely like little stained glass windows on a paper that allows some light to filter through in case one wanted to cut them out and put them up in a child's window. It's okay for a little distraction for around $2.00, but it would not be worth paying more even to ship.I'm going to use my home copier to blow up the designs to a larger size to color as a relaxation at home because trying to color within such small designs is not relaxing for me. Additionally, I wanted to use colored pencils or crayons, so moving the designs to regular paper will suit me better. If you want a pocket sized booklet that you can color with a little pack of markers as an adult, then this might suit you. For those with insomnia who have been told to unplug from electronics and bright lights later in the evening, this might be something to add to your winding down routine before bedtime. I don't know if a young child will enjoy it simply because of the small size and hand control needed to color it. An older child who no longer wants childish coloring books might appreciate this as a little holiday gift.

Love the kaleidoscope books!
I bought this coloring book for my eight year old granddaughter and myself to sit down and color together. I love spending quality time with her and we do alot of things together.We really love the Dover Kaleidoscope coloring books. We color a page every visit and put them in the window which faces east so we can catch the morning light. The colors really show through with a light source behind them. We have found that the color pencils will fade after a while, a month or two, but all you have to do is recolor the paper.I prefer the markers as they leave behind a smooth stroke. They don't fade as easily and really catch the sun. If you don't place them in a window, they won't fade at all. The pages in the Dover books are easy to tear out and look smooth when you do so.This is a nice activity that doesn't take up too much time. It is also perfect for car or school bus rides. I recommend that you have at least two of the Dover Kaleidoscope books. One for you and one for a guest. These books put a smile on everyone's face.

Will make a nice gift
This was bought as a gift for an older friend of mine. She enjoys coloring, and this is like a "stained glass" effect book for coloring. Something different than the traditional coloring book.

Librito muy pequeño y con pocas hojas
Librito minúsculo, no me lo esperaba ya que no se especificaban las medidas. Unas pocas vidrieras sobre papel vegetal que no recomiendo comprar.

Surprisingly unique
Neat small colouring book that you can colour on both sides of the page. It’s meant to be taken out of the book,and put in the window for a stained glass effect.
