Children usually enjoy themed coloring books. There are lots of super action heroes and storybook themes to select from too, from Spiderman to Spongebob, or Blues Clues and Beauty and the Beast. The Internet offers an opportunity to find themed coloring pages as well, to either print individual pictures for coloring offline or even to make a custom coloring book made up of a series of themed pages.
