Princess Coloring Book & Games

Review by eFreeware

Most coloring apps stop at coloring. This one goes further, and that breadth is the most distinctive thing about it.

It is built for young children, and the developer is explicit that the mini games are designed mainly for little girls. If you are looking for a single free app to keep a preschooler or early primary school child occupied with something creative rather than passive, this is the sort of thing that fits that slot. It carries a 4.1 average from a very large number of ratings, which suggests it does the basics well enough for most families.

What a coloring session actually involves

The coloring side is generous. There are more than 60 pictures to work through, covering princesses, princes, queens, mermaids, ponies, unicorns and castles. The palette runs to 30 colors, 20 patterns and a set of glitter and designed colors, and children can fill a whole region at once, draw with a pencil or a brush, or rub out mistakes with an eraser. Zooming in and out helps with small details, which matters more than it sounds once a child is working on a castle window or a crown.

There is also a free-drawing mode for children who would rather start from a blank page than fill in someone else's outline. A magic coloring button fills areas automatically, which is useful for younger children who have not yet worked out how to stay inside the lines. Finished pages can be saved and shared with family, and the app supports sharing to WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and TikTok.

Rewards run through the whole experience. Coloring earns stickers and gifts, and there is a box of more than 50 decorations and animated stickers, some of which move and make sounds, to place on a finished page. The developer says the app was named one of the top five worldwide coloring and drawing apps for kids in 2020, though that billing is a marketing line rather than something a parent can verify.

The eight mini games around the coloring book

The dress-up game offers princesses to style with sports clothes, day dresses, nightdresses, shoes, boots, sandals, wallets, crowns and pets. The developer notes that it is set up to keep the characters covered in a way that is appropriate for young children, which is a sensible detail in a category where that is not always handled carefully.

The nail salon activity covers manicures and makeup, with colors, glitter, stickers and patterns. Cake decoration lets a child build a birthday cake with stickers, candies, lollipops, candles and ballerina dolls while birthday music plays. There is a puzzle game with pictures of princesses, unicorns and more, and a clothes-washing activity that covers sorting into colored and white loads, washing, drying, ironing and hanging items in the closet.

The dishes cleanup game is the one with an explicit teaching aim: the developer describes it as designed so that young children learn about saving water. That is the clearest example of the educational framing that puts the app in the Educational category rather than treating it as pure entertainment. Coins and cheerful feedback run across all the activities, tying the mini games back into the same reward loop as the coloring pages.

How children move through the app

The flow is simple enough for a child to follow without help. After opening the app, the play button on the main screen leads to a choice between free-mode coloring and picking a specific picture. From there a child colors and recolors with the different color types, uses the brush or pencil, and can call on the magic button when a page is proving fiddly.

Progression comes from the reward layer rather than from levels or a story. Stickers and gifts arrive as pages are completed, and the sticker box gives children something to browse and choose from. The mini games sit alongside the coloring book, so a child can drift between painting, dressing up and puzzles in one sitting.

For a parent, that means there is a lot to explore in one place. The trade-off is that the app is a collection of activities rather than a course, so it works best as something a child dips into rather than works through.

Ads, purchases and what they mean for you

The app is free to download and carries advertising, and it also offers in-app purchases. That combination is worth thinking about before handing a device to a young child. The practical answer is to check the app's settings and your device's purchase restrictions yourself before a child uses it.

The app is rated Everyone and listed under Educational, which fits the family-friendly tone of the whole app. The app asks users to rate it five stars and to share it with friends, which reads as promotion rather than guidance.

The app has been on Google Play since July 2016 and was last updated in December 2025, so it is a long-running title that is still being maintained.

Where this fits in a child's app rotation

The strongest case for this app is variety. A child who tires of coloring quickly has dress-up, nails, puzzles, cake decorating and household chores to move on to, all inside the same app and all built around the same princess and unicorn theme. For a parent trying to avoid installing five separate apps, that consolidation is the main draw.

The theme is narrow by design. Everything here is princesses, queens, unicorns, castles, dresses and nail art, and the mini games are aimed mainly at little girls. A child who is not drawn to that world will find little else to do.

The coloring tools themselves are more capable than the theme might suggest. Thirty colors, twenty patterns, glitter options, a magic fill button, free drawing and sticker placement give a child a reasonable amount of creative room, and the ability to save and share finished pages gives the work somewhere to go. For the age group it targets, that is a fuller toolkit than many coloring apps offer.

A free coloring app that earns its keep

I would point parents of young children toward this one if they want a single free app that covers coloring and a handful of related activities. The 60-plus pictures, the eight mini games and the sticker rewards give it more staying power than a plain coloring book, and the 4.1 average across more than 124,000 ratings suggests that most families who install it are satisfied with what they get.

The caveats are the ones that come with the format. It is free and ad-supported with in-app purchases, so some supervision is sensible, especially for the youngest users. The princess theme is the whole point, which makes it a good fit for children who like that world and a poor fit for those who do not.

It suits parents who want a varied, low-cost activity app for a child in the preschool to early primary range, and who are comfortable managing ads and purchases on the device. Anyone looking for a general-purpose drawing tool will find this one narrower than they need.
