About

ABC Coloring Book

Read full description

Hand it over without a second thought. Made for the youngest hands (ages 2–5), it's the coloring book you can leave a toddler alone with. Tap a picture and they're coloring — no menus, no reading, no waiting. ABC Coloring is free, with no ads and no third-party trackers — and a parental gate locks every way out. WHY PARENTS PICK IT • Free and ad-free. Just open it and start coloring. • No accounts, no sign-in, no third-party trackers. No name, no email, no advertising IDs, and no third-party advertising or analytics SDKs. Your child's data is never sold. • Privacy-first by design. The only thing the app ever sends is a fully anonymous "a page was colored" signal with a random id that resets every 24 hours — so we know which pictures kids love and what to draw next. A parent can switch even that off in the Grown-Ups area. • A parental gate locks every exit. Sharing, printing, saving to Photos, and any web link all sit behind a quick multiplication question only a grown-up can answer. Your child stays safely inside the coloring book. BUILT FOR LITTLE HANDS • Tap and go. No detail screens, no buttons to hunt for — tap any picture and your child is coloring in a second. The whole app is built for a child who can't read yet. • Toddler-simple tools. 12 big, friendly crayons plus a one-tap fill bucket. White doubles as an eraser, so a "mistake" is never a problem. No tiny sliders, no fiddly color wheels. • Pictures little ones adore. Hand-drawn animals, vehicles, food, nature, and playful favorites — always something new to color. • A growing library. New pages are added regularly and appear automatically, at no extra cost. WORKS ANYWHERE • Colors offline. A set of coloring pages comes built in, so it works on a plane, in the car, or anywhere with no Wi-Fi. Online, the whole growing library opens up. • "My Art" keeps every picture. Nothing is ever lost — kids can revisit, recolor, and be proud of what they made, with a gallery of "look what I made!" ready to show grandma. THE DELIGHT There's a quiet kind of magic in watching a two-year-old fill a puppy with purple, an airplane with rainbow stripes, and a dinosaur with whatever color a dinosaur clearly should be. No reading required, no frustration, no dead ends — just a child, a crayon, and a picture coming to life. A companion to abc-coloring.com.
