This computer coloring book is another part in the Electric Crayon series and it has 30 pictures featuring 1-10 numbers. Each picture includes the number of certain items, this number as digit written in some way and this number written as word (for example, three rabbits in the three magic hats or ten bones for a dog) with famous characters from Sesame Street to color.

Pictures could be colored from a palette of 16 colors. A mix button would "mix" the current color with the 15 other colors and give a total of 256 colors. Choosing a color and clicking in the picture do a color fill in the area clicked. The finished, or in progress, coloring was automatically saved to disk. Player may also remove all colors applied previously to start coloring from the very beginning.
