Arabic Floral Patterns Coloring Book (Dover Design Coloring Books)

I won't lie, this coloring book was fully intended for my own personal use... and let's just say I am not your average coloring fan age. The designs in this book are stunning and I am really looking forward to coloring them! I have ordered books in the past that have only a few designs that repeat several times in the book, so I was very happy to see this book features 30 unique designs. My 10 year old cousin flipped through the book and he is also impressed with the patterns, so I would easily say this book is fun for any age coloring fan. I think the designs leave room enough for pretty much any type of coloring tool, which is also a great feature- sometimes the designs of books like this get too intricate and you are limited to using colored pencils instead of markers or crayons.

Awesome, inspiring and intricate designs to color. I have spent many hours coloring in this book with my Staedtler Triplus Markers, and regular felt tip markers, also from amazon and also awesome. I love this book...only wish they were either on slightly heavier paper or printed on only one side. I have a little bit of bleed thru, not enough to matter if you're not hanging it on your wall though.

I use Sharpies to color, as crayons are took thick for detail work, and colored pencils never seem to last around me. I put a piece of paper between the pages when I color so the color doesn't bleed onto the next page (although it obviously bleeds through the back). With this method, I really only get to color half a book. This is one of the few out of the dozens that I've bought that I plan on buying a second copy of so I can color those other pages! Interesting designs, not too complicated, and unlike a lot of other complicated coloring books like this, there aren't "mistakes" in the patterns - missing lines, broken patterns, etc. Highly recommend.

I am an adult who has ADD and I have 2 children who have ADD as well. None of us can just do one thing at a time, so these pages are fantastic for us to make copies of and color while watching TV or just hanging out. We love all of the different designs and since we make copies, we can do our favorite pages over and over again. My children's therapist also uses copies of these pages in her practice.

This one brought silence to the room and children leaned over their chosen designs to color and were fascinating by the intricacy of the patterns. Color pencils worked best due to fine tips and ease of color blending. Crayons were too wide, as were most markers, and they were too bold. Water colors would also be great if fine motor control is at the higher developmental stage.

The coloring patterns themselves are great: beautifully detailed and expressive of Arabic design. The pages, however, are thin and flimsy, and really only lend themselves to colored pencils, rather than artist's markers which bleed through. Overall, it was worth the price (under $5), but I wouldn't buy it again because of the page quality.

Beautiful designs! Because images are printed on both sides of the page, I copy the design I want to work onto card stock paper so I don't risk bleed through ruining the design on the other side of the page within the book. This will allow me to color the designs over and over again. Great value!

This book is a nice change from Mandalas. Some are very detailed and complex. Others are with larger pattern pieces and not so difficult. I do the difficult ones when I am on my own with no distractions so the others easy designs are perfect when I am at my Coloring groups and it doesn't matter if I make a mistake. If I am using pencil, as I usually do at these groups, I just erase it.I did not like this book when I first got it because the designs are on every page. You have marks on the other side with markers, gel pens and even with pencil when you press hard. However it has proved useful for group work as I do not want to ruin my Bashford, or my new Debbie MacComber books.

Nice designs.

This book is amazing, love every design. I hope there is more to come. Thank you. x

I bought this colouring book for my mum who loved the patterns and the facts it is not so detailed as many adult colouring books as she's older and her eyes struggle with more intricate patterns. This book for a thumbs up from my mum!

This is my first coloring book and bought it based on reviews in amazon.in. It is all that it promises to be. I am also using it to teach my students of architecture.

davvero degli ottimi spunti anche per decorazioni.L'unica pecca è che la carta è troppo fine e se si colora con il pennarello passa dall'altra parte
