It’s like paint by number, but with colored pencils! The designs are printed on white cardboard with numbers in each section. A set of 5 double-ended colored pencils have a number on each color. From there, it’s a matter of deciding how to complete the picture – will you start in a corner? The center? Fill in all of one number first? The decision is yours! I like the smaller format of the boards at 7.75” x 9.75”. It feels like something you can accomplish. This would make a fun addition to a unit study on the national parks. All-inclusive sets like this are perfect for gift giving too! ~Sara

Description
Color
in five stunning scenes of American wilderness, each from a different
national park, and learn about their fascinating history and wildlife
with this color-by-number kit and book.
From the
breathtaking wildlife viewing of Denali National Park and Preserve to
Acadia National Park, the land set aside for the United States national
parks is as beautiful as it is diverse. Visit five of the parks (Denali, Everglades, Joshua Tree, Grand Canyon, and Acadia) as you create the art in the National Parks Color by Number kit.
Inside, you’ll find all the materials needed to make 5 frameable works of art, including:
- 5 double-sided color pencils
- 5 textured canvas boards (8 × 10 inches)
- 48-page book about the national parks
Each canvas image is divided into individually numbered shapes. Just match each shape’s number to the corresponding marker color number,
then color away and feel yourself relax with the soothing activity and
park scenery. You’re on your way to creating your own landscape
masterpiece that will be perfect for gifting—or keeping!
The book is full of facts, stories, and history about the national parks. For instance, did you know:
- Denali is the highest peak in North America?
- Cadillac Mountain in Acadia is the first place in the easternmost sate where the sun appears?
- Joshua Tree is one of the darkest places in the continental United States?
- Grand Canyon is bigger than the state of Rhode Island?
- Everglades is the only remaining wetland wilderness in North America?
This
is a perfect screen-free activity for a rainy day or while you are en
route to any of these awe-inspiring national parks. Either way, you can
take a virtual trip to the national parks by coloring these frameable designs!
