Kids Coloring Book by Numbers

Review by eFreeware

Kids Coloring Book by Numbers is an educational app from GOBEEZ YAZILIM TİCARET that turns coloring into a tap-by-tap exercise for young children. Instead of handing a child a blank canvas, it asks them to fill numbered areas with matching colors, then rewards the finished page with animation. It is free to install, carries ads and offers in-app purchases, and has passed 100,000 installs with a 4.3 average from 924 ratings.

The reason to consider it is the combination of two things that usually sit in separate apps. A child gets a simple coloring activity, and alongside it hears color and tool names spoken in English. For a parent who wants a quiet, shared pastime that also nudges a little language exposure, that pairing is the main draw.

It is worth setting expectations before you install. This is a coloring book, not a drawing studio or a lesson plan, and everything it does is built around filling in pictures. The developer describes the interface as simple and easy to understand, which fits the age group it is made for.

A fantasy world of pictures to fill in

The catalog is built around themes children tend to gravitate toward. The developer lists wild animals, sea animals, dinosaurs, unicorns, princesses and food among the pages, and describes the collection as a mysterious fantasy world. Cats, dogs, toys and cartoon characters appear too, so there is a spread of subjects rather than a single narrow theme.

The developer says there are more than 100 pictures to color and that new ones arrive constantly, which matters for an app a child may return to over months. Each page is a numbered drawing: rather than choosing where to put a line, the child picks a color and fills the areas that call for it. The developer also allows free drawing of figures on top of a page, so a finished picture can be added to rather than simply completed.

The artwork is presented with glitter effects and a wide range of colors, and the finished result is animated. That last detail is the app's signature move. Coloring is often a static activity; here the payoff is movement, which gives a child a reason to finish a page rather than abandon it halfway.

How a coloring session works

A session follows a straightforward loop. The child browses the pictures, picks one, then works through the numbered areas by selecting colors from the palette. Tapping a color or a tool triggers its name in English, so the vocabulary arrives as part of the action rather than as a separate drill. When the page is complete, the picture animates.

Zoom controls are included for precision. On a small screen, tight areas in a detailed drawing can be fiddly for small fingers, and being able to move in closer is the kind of small addition that decides whether a child keeps going or hands the device back. There is also room to draw extra figures onto a page, so a child can add something of their own once the numbered work is done.

The activity is framed as something a parent and child can do together, and the pacing supports that. There is no timer, no score and no failure state. A child can color shapes and figures however they like, which keeps the tone relaxed rather than competitive.

What the developer says children get out of it

The claims around this app go beyond entertainment. The developer links coloring to fine motor skills, attention and perseverance, and argues that staying inside the marked areas helps hand and eye coordination. It is also described as a way to build patience, on the grounds that a child has to sit with a picture and work through it rather than finish instantly.

Focus is another theme. Painting time is connected to concentration, and learning to work within boundaries is said to carry over into learning to write. These are the kinds of benefits parents hear about coloring generally, and they are stated as the developer's reasoning rather than as measured results.

The English pronunciation feature is the most concrete of the educational elements. Because it is tied to tapping colors and tools, it does not require a separate mode or a lesson to sit through. A child absorbs the words while doing something they already wanted to do, which is a more natural fit than a vocabulary screen would be.

Costs, ads and what that means day to day

The app is free to download. It contains ads and offers in-app purchases, so a parent should expect both a promotional presence and the option to spend money inside the app.

For a children's app, that combination is the detail I would weigh most carefully. Ads and purchase prompts in an app aimed at young children are a practical consideration for whoever hands over the device, and it is reasonable to look at how the app behaves before leaving a child with it unattended. None of this makes the app unusable, but it is part of the package.

The upside is that the core activity is available without paying anything up front. A parent can install it, see whether a child takes to the color-by-numbers format, and decide from there. The 4.3 average across 924 ratings suggests a fair number of families have found it workable, though ratings for children's apps tend to reflect the adult's view as much as the child's.

Updates and how the app has aged

The app first appeared in September 2019 and was updated in April 2026, so it has been maintained over a long stretch rather than left as a one-off release. That matters for a title that depends on a steady supply of new pictures, since a coloring book with a fixed catalog loses its appeal once a child has worked through it.

The developer asks users to leave a comment and a rating if they appreciate the work, and signs off with a short greeting. There is no feature list attached to that release, so it reads as routine upkeep rather than a significant change to how the app works.

For anyone weighing this against other children's drawing apps, the age of the app cuts both ways. It has had years to settle, and the catalog has grown to more than 100 pictures in that time. What it offers is a settled, narrow activity rather than something that keeps expanding into new territory.

A calm first coloring app for a preschooler

I would point this at parents of roughly preschool to early primary children who want a low-pressure activity to share on a phone or tablet. The color-by-numbers structure removes the intimidation of a blank page, the English pronunciation adds a small educational layer without demanding attention, and the animation at the end gives a child something to aim for. The themes covered are broad enough that most children will find a picture they want to start with.

The trade-offs are worth stating plainly. It is a coloring app, so a child who wants to build, race or tell stories will not find that here. It carries ads and in-app purchases, which is the main thing a parent should check before handing over a device. And the educational value rests on the developer's reasoning about motor skills, patience and focus rather than on anything the app measures.

Taken as a whole, it is a reasonable choice for families who want one simple, well-established coloring activity with a language bonus attached. The install count, the long run of updates and the solid rating all point to an app that does its job without fuss. If that job matches what you are looking for, there is little here to put you off.
