COLOR BY NUMBERS
Uses Colored Pencils - No Paint - No Clean Up - No Mess

Today's Version Of The Classic Venus Paradise Coloring Sets!

Even though we were very different, the one activity we both liked was coloring, (as do most children), and for both of us, one of our favorite childhood activities was coloring with a Venus Paradise Coloring set.

Venus Paradise Coloring sets let you color fantastic pictures with colored pencils. Each pencil was numbered, as were the pictures that came with the sets. You knew where to color red, yellow, black, etc., because you simply followed the numbered guidelines printed on the coloring card. Eventually, you had a colorful masterpiece, which made you beam with pride and joy. It was a great little kit that could turn anyone into an artist.

Not only did we love it, and our parents loved it too because there was no paint, no clean up, no mess!

Venus Paradise sets were a popular item when we were children, and all of our friends loved them too. Everyone we both knew had Venus Paradise Coloring sets. In fact, if you are forty years old or older, you probably had a Venus Paradise set of your own. If you are under forty, you probably never heard of it...which is a shame because it was such a fun activity.

Anyway, when this company was started back in 1988, one of the first products we wanted to sell was Venus Paradise Coloring sets. Unfortunately, they were no longer being manufactured.

Year after year we would go to the International Toy Fair (that is the toy industry's trade show) looking for the return of the Venus Paradise Coloring set. And year after year we came back home disappointed, that is until 2008.

In 2008 we finally found a company that makes a color by numbers art set. And that dear folks, is what we are featuring on this page...Pencil Works!

Pencil Works is the modern day version of the classic Venus Paradise coloring sets of years gone by. It is the perfect introduction to art and drawing for children.

But guess what, it is also great for older adults, that's why we are offering sets that appeal to adults as well as children. In fact, the variety pack we are offering is great for a family!

Pencil Works is a relaxing, stimulating, fun activity which takes concentration, dexterity and fine finger control. Skills that require attention by both children, and older adults!

Besides being fun and beneficial, it is easy to do...just choose the pencil that corresponds to the color number, and start coloring.

The manufacturer states it is for ages 8 to adult, but we believe that children as young as 6 or 7 should be able to do some of the sets!
