Description:
I've had a few problems with this kind of swap in other groups. I really hope we can all cooperate to make it work here. I know the people in this group are all super cooperative people, so I'm going to try this one more time. Buy a coloring book. Put your name and address on the inside cover. Color the first 2 or 3 pages. Sign them. Then, put the book in an envelope and mail it to your partner. When you receive a coloring book in the mail, color 2 or 3 pages. Sign them. Then, put the book in an envelope and mail it to your partner in the next round. There will be 5 rounds. After 5 rounds, you will mail the book back to it's owner.

Would like to do something like this, but not only have I also lost a book, but this would be a very expensive swap to keep mailing books internationally. Less at risk when sending just pages.

What size colouring book a little one or big one?

I'd definitely be up for a U.S. version of this swap, but can't afford to do it internationally. I wouldn't think it would matter what the size of the book is, since you get back what you send out. Or is there a standard for size or number of pages?

PrairieKittin 03/ 3/2016 #

No standard for size. Most of the coloring books I've seen in the stores are 8.5 by 11.
For 5 rounds, if everyone did 2 pages, then 10 pages would be ideal. 15 pages if everyone did 3. So, we're not talking a large expensive book here. If necessary, you could even remove some pages if the weight of the book concerns you. I think I will change this to US only, since I received a PM from someone about the time it takes to send and receive mail from South Africa. I don't think this will work internationally, so I'm going to make this US only. If someone wants to make another international one, with longer times in between for sending, you can copy and paste the wording from this one, if you would like.

Would the pages have to be colored in order? I would love to have my partners pick 2- 3 random pages they like and color them.

I would also like to know if it has to be colored in order. Id much rather have people pick the pages they wanted to color

You can pick the pages you want to color.
