This workbook is designed for children to complete by themselves.
By checking their answers and correcting errors on their own, children can master important academic skills and foster a sense of independence that will help them develop into self-motivated learners.
With First Steps Workbooks, toddlers practice motor control skills and develop spatial reasoning and problem-solving abilities. Children can take the first step in their education by stickering, pasting, cutting, coloring, and folding with our colorful and fun exercises.
Coloring exercises for young children are often too complicated. This book begins with a simple skill – having a child scribble on a picture randomly. As children progress through the book, they slowly learn to color within designated lines. Using crayons is an important precursor to learning to write with a pencil.

Excellent as a first workbook ever
Started my daughter on this just a week or so after turning 2. She had used a crayon before but only briefly and could only draw marks across the page in no deliberate or concentrated fashion. Dramatic improvement in her dexterity doing 1-4 of these a day over a period of around 3 weeks, as shown by photos. Do read the instructions provided for this very carefully, as this is not an ordinary coloring book, and is designed to follow an orderly progression of difficulty and components.I would suggest being very directly involved for the 3-10 minutes a day this might occupy and always stop when your child still seems interested. Hold on to the crayon box and give one crayon at a time after you both agree on the crayon to use. Keep the child on the correct page, introduce them to the object and direct them to what needs to be colored. Praise heavily, and encourage intentional drawing. If they want to color on their own, allow them to use the back or other paper, but keep the kumon exercises themselves a separate endeavor. Put the workbook out of reach when you're not ready to supervise.Book is very well designed as far as paper, artwork and the kinds of tasks. I'll say that the last few items (~34-39) seem to dramatically ramp up in difficulty, in terms of the size, shape and number of things to be colored per page to the point I don't think my daughter was quite able to follow as much as the others, but overall it was a good experience.Important is to recognize how this fits into the overall Kumon workbook progression. This goes onto "MORE Let's Color", and from there dexterity should be good enough for "tracing" (connect the dots) which can then progress to "easy mazes" (curved lines) and other maze books, after which the child's skill should be good enough to begin writing letters and numbers. As there are many workbooks for letters and numbers it's nice to see a book that works even before a child can draw a straight or curved line with any reliability. Age-wise 2.0 was just fine to start. I could see 18-20 month year olds potentially having a good time with this, but the child probably needs to be able to respond to suggestions, pointing and probably naming colors to get the full effect of the workbook. But overall it's the best "starting from zero" workbook I could imagine.
