Description from the publisher:

A Hilarious Adult Coloring Book for Quarantine!

We find ourselves in the midst of a Global Crisis. Panic, fear, and uncertainty surrounds us.

We are living in some strange times...

Self-quarantining sucks. Social distancing sucks. Wearing a mask sucks

With reasons to stress coming at us from all directions, why not take a much-needed break and just tell life to SHUT THE F*CK UP?

This humorous adult coloring book is exactly what you need to help get through quarantine and Color Away the Worldwide Chaos!

This Coloring book includes:

  • Hilariously funny adult humor and swear word coloring book pages
  • Single-sided prints for your coloring convenience
  • A variety of adult coloring book design styles
  • Witty cartoons and quotes with zentangle backgrounds to get you through the madness!

The Perfect Distraction or Gag Gift during these Crazy Times!

Forget the news and forget the people you're stuck indoors with.

Practice some colorfully meditative self-care with these belligerent one-liners, hilarious themed cartoons, and just plain old immature language.

Color away the stress and chaos as you tune out all the bullshit and create an irreverent masterpiece.

Give life a double "up yours" and color the shit out of this book!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

When the world is going crazy and trying to take you along for the ride, open this book, tear out a page, sit down with a glass of your favorite beverage (no judgement), and find some Zen. 

 

The pages are fun, funny, irreverent, and downright smile-worthy.  Brighten your day and read through this coloring book for adult-only.



My favorite part, I have this as a PDF file.  So, I can reprint the pages and do them all again!

WORD SEARCH FOR KIDS AGE 8-10

Turbocharge Your Child's Learning With These Fun Word Puzzles!



Are you doing your best to raise a successful, confident child who can make a positive impact on the world?

Then you surely know about the importance of language skills. Faster reading means faster learning, better grades, and more self-confidence. Excellent writing, with a rich vocabulary and effortlessly correct spelling, is one of the keys to professional success.

However, learning these skills isn't easy, especially with typical school assignments that often seem boring and repetitive.



But what if there was a way to practice spelling and reading in a way that's actually appealing to kids?



Well, there is. Children's brains learn by playing games and solving puzzles - unlike the typical spelling drills practiced at schools, this type of learning is natural, intuitive, and effective.

By offering your child word puzzles such as these word search activities, you'll boost their language skills without boring them to death! Your child will get a chance to learn new words, recognize familiar ones, and remember their spelling with effortless ease - which results in better writing, faster reading, and higher grades in ALL subjects, not just English.



Here's what makes this activity book so special:

  • A whopping 100 word search puzzles - if your child does two puzzles per day, that's almost TWO MONTHS of fun!
  • Topics that expand your child's knowledge of the world - you'll find everything from AIRPORT to ZOO!
  • A healthy mix of easy and tricky words in every puzzle - your child will NEVER complain that the puzzles are "too easy" or "too hard"!
  • An answer key at the end of the book - in case both of you can't find a word, just FLIP to the end and discover the solution!
  • FREE BONUS inside!



This book is a perfect gift for boys and girls aged 8-10, but it can provide fun for the entire family if you choose to solve the puzzles together!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

There are one hundred word search puzzles!  Each one has six words and they are all in a left to right or from top to bottom.  I would have liked to see some progression of difficulty – whether it was an increase in the number of words or to have some words written backwards.  I give it 4.5 stars as is, but rounded up.



This is a great way to practice vocabulary and spelling skills!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
I really like the way this book is set up.  There are 12 practice mazes (one copy each).  Then 17 challenge and one super-challenge puzzles.  Each of the challenge puzzles have two copies in the book so that your child and a friend can race head-to-head to get the best time.

The pages were visually appealing, however the arrangement (name plate, monkey, compass, and hourglass) were repeated on every page.  Though the monkeys weren’t all the same.  I liked the few titling monkey/jungle pages for coloring.  It was obvious that the mazes were done in another program and then pasted onto the page.  Something in the method left “ghost lines” showing.  It doesn’t interfere with the maze, it’s just disruptive to the eye of someone who is sensitive.

I’m told this is the first activity book for this publisher.  They did a great job and worked hard to produce something enjoyable and fun.
