The Lullaby for a Child Virtual Coloring Book is an exciting way to teach your child computer skills while they learn color coordination and how to make artistic choices. The award winning illustrations from the Lullaby for a Child hard cover book were carefully converted to a computer program full of rich sound and interactivity.
The “beginner” section of the program starts with clean outlines of the award winning illustrations from the Lullaby for a Child hardcover book. When the user selects a part of the picture on the page it is colored exactly like the original artists colored the book. Users practice mouse to eye coordination and can gain an understanding of color and illustration.
The “advanced” section of the virtual coloring book steps farther by allowing the user to choose from a 24 color palette to paint the page using personal creativity. Since the colors can be changed at will or can be completely erased to start with a clean page many exciting variations can be created. Once the page is colored it can be printed to preserve the personalized artwork for ever.
The beginner and advanced sections can be switched back and forth to compare the original art with the newly created art.
As an added bonus the “Read Along” section will help or enhance your child’s reading skills using the colorful illustrated pages from the book. Your child can follow along as the narrator reads the poem. The words of the poem are highlighted and the pages turn automatically in sync with the narrator.
The user has the ability to play the music from the CD while coloring the pages to pleasantly enhance the overall experience
We have found that children of all ages and even adults enjoy many hours interacting with this wonderful program. To download a demo of the advanced section of the Virtual Coloring book click this link.
