This review is from : Creativity For Kids Coloring & ARTivity Book: Pretty Princesses
Love this activity book! . For their 4th birthday a friend gave them these activity books. They can't write, they can't read, and they are not good with scissors. The problem I had found with many activity books is that there was much in them my girls could not do yet, either reading or cutting things out to make things or whatever. With this book almost everything they could do without my help. There are dot to dot drawings, again they can do these without me and they are a great activity for practicing fine motor skills (one of our twins is left handed and struggles with writing utensils) and with counting. There is also a maze, a matching page, a what's wrong with the picture page, a which one is different page, all that they can do without my help as long as they are told the directions. There is a wand and crown that need to be cut out, and another page where you cut out pictures and put them in order to tell a story. Some of the pages have specific stickers that are supposed to be used with them which would need a parents' directions to a non-reader, one of the twins got into her book by herself and used many stickers elsewhere and when it came time to put the shoes on the princess those stickers were already gone, but she did figure out to put the draw bridge sticker in the right place on the castle page. All of the pages are black and white for coloring, and the pages are a nice thick paper and I was able in many instances to save stickers pt on wrong without ripping anything. I also like that it is spiral bound, pages lay flat when open which is easier for little ones to work on pages then. I looked at some of the other "Artivity" books and this one seemed best for non-reading aged girls, though I have not yet been able to look inside the "Enchanted Lands" one as most retailers are out of it. Also, buy this book online, it is like $7 retail in a store. If the girls had not already done these books these would be going with us on our big road trip! Anyway, highly recommend this book.

Cons Review
Not as nice as expected for the price . Based on previous reviews I thought this would be very nice for the price. The positive features are that the drawings are on one side of each page, so markers or paints can be used without ruining other drawings, and that the spiral binding allows the pages to be laid flat without having to hold the book open with one hand while coloring the pages.Otherwise, the drawings aren't very interesting, and some activities DO require reading of instructions to a younger child, contrary to what another reviewer said. I'd set aside a similar book of this series for later, but deleted it from my cart after seeing this one in person. For coloring with crayons or other media, I much prefer the Dover coloring books for children; some of those have designs on only one side of each page for use with wet media such as markers or paints. I frequently find much nicer activity books than this with much better pricing. At the local dollar store and in other local stores there are activity books with more variety of designs, and more pages for only a dollar. If the kids want to use wet markers or paints on some pages, I just copy and print those pages for them.
