Frequently asked questions
What is this book?
This is an activity book combining colour-by-number and maze puzzles, all centered around an animal theme.
Kids follow a numbered colour key to fill in illustrations and then use a corresponding maze activity.
Who is it for (age / skill level)?
The book is aimed at children aged 4–8 years.
Its guided approach (with numbers) makes it suitable for younger children or beginners in colouring, while still offering engaging content.

What colouring tools work best?
You can use coloured pencils, crayons, fine-tip markers, or gel pens. If using markers, place a sheet under the page to protect the reverse side (if pages are double sided).
Can children deviate from the numbered colours?
Yes — the numbered colour key is a guideline to make the process easier. Children (or adults) are free to experiment, blend, or substitute colours as they wish.
