Coloring and Drawing For Girls

Review by eFreeware

Coloring and Drawing For Girls is a free Android art game from Toy Tap LLP, filed under the Educational category on Google Play. It puts a set of themed coloring pages in front of young children and lets them fill, decorate and draw on them, with the developer describing the whole thing as a creative space built for girls. The main reason to consider it is simple: the page themes are organized well enough that a child can move from princesses to pumpkins to Christmas trees without running out of something to color.

The numbers attached to it are healthy. It has passed 10 million installs and holds a 4.6 average from 11,075 ratings, which suggests a lot of families have kept it on a device for more than a single sitting. It arrived in November 2023 and was last updated in September 2026, so it is not a title that was pushed out and forgotten.

What I find most sensible about the setup is the framing. The developer presents it as preparation for preschool activities, which is a modest and believable goal for a coloring game, and the step-by-step guidance it offers is the sort of thing that keeps a younger child moving rather than staring at a blank canvas. That combination is what makes it worth a parent's attention.

Six themed sets instead of one long gallery

Plenty of coloring apps hand over a single undifferentiated pile of line art and leave the child to scroll. This one splits its content into six named categories, and each has a clear identity. Princess mixes castles and magical creatures with barbie drawing. Halloween brings pumpkins, ghosts and ghouls. Cuties is populated by charming characters and animals such as a fox. Christmas handles holiday scenes, trees and ornaments. Numbers takes a different angle and mixes coloring with counting practice.

That spread does two useful things. It gives a child a reason to come back at different points in the year, since the Halloween and Christmas sets are seasonal by nature, and it gives a parent an easy way to steer a session toward something specific. If a child is working on numbers, the Numbers category is right there rather than buried.

I would not read the category names as a hard limit on who can use it. The themes are gentle and the content rating is Everyone, so the appeal is broader than the title suggests. What the categories really do is solve the problem of choice: a young child opening an app with hundreds of unnamed pages tends to freeze, and a labeled shelf of six options is easier to navigate.

Coloring, drawing and decorating as separate jobs

The core loop is coloring: pick a page, pick colors, fill the shapes. The developer talks about endless colors and about decorating pages rather than simply filling them, which points to a layer beyond flat fills. In practice, that means a child can treat a page as a base to build on, adding detail on top of the line art rather than only completing it.

Drawing sits alongside coloring rather than replacing it. Drawing games and coloring games are two sides of the same app, and the princess category specifically refers to barbie drawing. For a child who is not yet confident with freehand work, having a structured page underneath is a lower-pressure way in than a blank screen.

The step-by-step guidance is the part I would watch most closely as a parent. Guidance of that sort usually means the app breaks a picture into stages, so a child completes a bit, sees progress and continues. That structure suits the preschool preparation angle the developer describes, because it turns an open-ended art task into something with a visible finish line.

The Numbers pages and the educational claim

The Numbers category is the clearest attempt to justify the Educational label. Instead of asking a child to color whatever they like, those pages are built around numerals, so time spent filling them in doubles as exposure to number shapes and counting. It is a light touch, but it is a real one, and it gives the app a second reason to exist beyond entertainment.

I would treat this as reinforcement rather than instruction. The game does not teach arithmetic or assess what a child has learned; its coloring pages happen to be number-based. Used that way, alongside whatever a child is already doing at home or in preschool, it fits comfortably.

The rest of the app leans purely creative. Fairy tales, cuties and holiday pages are there for enjoyment, and that is fine. A parent looking for a screen activity that is not passive video will find more to like in a page a child has to actively complete than in something that plays at them.

No multiplayer, and that seems deliberate

Nothing about the experience depends on other people being present, so it works as a quiet individual task, whether that is a child at a kitchen table while a parent cooks or a passenger in the back seat on a long drive.

If you were hoping for something siblings could do together on one screen, this is not built for that.

Ads, purchases and what free means here

The app is free to download and it carries both advertising and in-app purchases. That is worth knowing before you hand a device to a young child, because it means the experience includes commercial elements alongside the coloring pages. What the purchases cover is not laid out, so I would not assume anything about what is locked behind them.

The developer does describe the coloring content as free, and the step-by-step guidance is presented as something every child can use. Taken together, that suggests the coloring activity itself is the main event and the paid layer sits beside it rather than gating the whole thing.

My advice is the same as with any free children's app: decide in advance how you want the device set up, and treat the store settings as part of the setup rather than an afterthought. That is a general precaution, not a comment on how this particular app behaves.

A good fit for younger children who like structure

The clearest audience is children roughly of preschool age who enjoy coloring and respond well to being given a page rather than a blank screen. The step-by-step guidance, the labeled categories and the number pages all point in that direction, and the developer's own framing of preschool preparation lines up with it.

It also suits parents who want an art activity that does not require supplies. Crayons and paper still have their place, but a coloring app travels better, does not leave marks on a car seat and can be handed over in situations where a table and a box of pencils are not available.

Older children who already draw confidently may find the guided pages limiting, since the appeal of a structured page fades once a child wants to invent rather than complete. That is not a flaw in the app so much as a natural ceiling on who it serves.

A dependable coloring app for the preschool years

Coloring and Drawing For Girls does one thing and does it in an organized way. Six themed categories, a drawing mode alongside the coloring, number pages for a bit of learning and step-by-step guidance for children who need a nudge. The install count and the 4.6 average from more than eleven thousand ratings suggest it has landed well with the families using it.

The caveats are the usual ones for a free children's title. It contains ads and in-app purchases, so a parent should set expectations and device controls before handing it over, and the content is aimed at a young age range rather than growing with a child indefinitely.

If you have a preschooler who likes to color and benefits from being shown what to do next, this is an easy install. If you are looking for open-ended art tools for an older child, the guided structure here will feel narrower than what that child needs.
