Did you ever do a paint-by-numbers painting in your lifetime? I know I've done my share, some really horrible ones and some decent ones. Well if you enjoyed them, you can enjoy them again on your computer!

The site requires Java Plug-in to work. (Not to worry there is an excellent Help Page to get you started.) To play, click SegPlay Online at the top of the page. And be warned it takes a little bit for the categories to load the images you can choose from. The images are ranked from Simple to Complex.

There are a lot of categories to choose from. From famous artists to simple photos taken by everyday people. From animals to skies to fruit. You'll have tons of options to choose from. This a very entertaining way to spend the afternoon.

Choose the picture you want to color. After the java loads you'll see what you saw on the front page example, an image that has a lot of lines and numbers just waiting for you to color it in. Beneath that image you will see a palate of numbered colors. And MOST importantly the Zoom in, and Zoom Out tools. They look like magnifying glasses. I suggest that you zoom in to make coloring super easy. As soon as you start coloring the timer starts. It shows you the fastest time it has been completed, I believe.

Next to the timer you'll see the pause, play, rewind, and help button. If you want to see it colored in click the play button and watch. It goes and fills it in color by color. It's really neat to watch.

The other thing that is really cool, is if you fill in the colors while you have it zoomed in, and then zoom out to check your progress, it's neat to see the image come together, and it gives your eyes a small break!

This is a great way to experience great photography in a new light. This could be a great way to keep kids entertained for a while. Oh, and most of all have fun with it.
