Paint by Answers

What it is

Every picture starts as a quiet coloring page: Olly under the moon, a hot-air balloon, a sea turtle, a rocket and more. Each space hides a little puzzle: a number to match, dots to count, a letter or a picture's first sound, a sum, a product or a word to sort into noun, verb, adjective or adverb. Pick a paint pot, then tap every space whose answer matches it. When the picture is full, Olly checks each color, and the finished painting shimmers.
