More fun than mindless coloring books, these coloring puzzles develop organized analysis, deductive reasoning, observation, classification, and fine motor skills needed for academic success. The puzzles can be used after school, at home, and on trips to stimulate developing minds.

These books give students visual clues and ask them to match complete pictures with unfinished forms. After they identify the pairs, they draw the missing parts to make matched sets. Students are then asked to follow directions and apply creative thinking to color the pictures.
