Technical Help For A Freebie Project


There was a Pet Expo in our city this past weekend. One thing I did notice was that a lot of the different breed rescue tables there were selling home made coloring books. 
 
Most of them were pretty awful pictures, I suspect they went online to find copyright free line drawings – nearly all were from the 1950’s – and they were roughly 10-15 pages each, with a word puzzle and a maze at the end. 
 
It appears to be a new fad.  But I was left with the impression that anything that looked that awful could be done far better and sell at the same price.  Or be used as a giveaway item in a Kickstarter funding project.

While researching how to make coloring books (it was all basically a no brainer, no real need to google it) I ran across a neat website that automatically makes word search puzzles out of the list of words a person can come up with. It’s a really neat site and worth passing on.  http://www.puzzle-maker.com/WS/index.htm
