# Little Acre Learning

> Coloring & activity books for children ages 2–10 — learning that feels like play.

Little Acre Learning publishes coloring and activity books that build early skills — first words, counting, sentence tracing, handwriting, and reading true facts — for children ages 2 to 10. Titles are grouped into three age bands (Sprouts, ages 2–4; Saplings, ages 5–7; Branches, ages 8–10) and five coloring series: Farm Friends, Dino Friends, Ocean Friends, Safari Friends, and Jungle Friends — plus a separate Trace & Learn line of handwriting and pre-writing workbooks (pencil control for ages 2–4, alphabet/numbers/sight words for ages 5–7, and joined-up cursive for ages 8–10). Individual books are sold on Amazon, and a free printable sample pack is available for each book by email. Little Acre Learning is a brand of Built by Josh Studio LLC.

## Age bands (what each level teaches)

- Sprouts — ages 2–4 ("A Speech & Counting Coloring Book"): big, bold single-subject pictures to color, plus first words, animal sounds, and counting to 10. Best for toddlers and preschoolers just starting with crayons.
- Saplings — ages 5–7 ("A Trace, Read & Learn Activity Book"): trace a true sentence and read a fact under each picture; builds handwriting, early reading, and vocabulary. Best for kindergarten and early elementary.
- Branches — ages 8–10 ("Read · Think · Color"): detailed full-page scenes, each with a Fact Zone (a true fact), a Think question, and a Find & Color challenge. Best for older kids who want real facts alongside their coloring.

Every series ships in all three age bands, so a child can stay with animals they love — farm, dinosaurs, ocean, safari, or jungle — as the activities grow with them.
