Do you think she would struggle with this? Do they have books with larger designs?
Also, do you use crayons, colored pencils, gel pens...?
Just me: Avoid the new adult coloring books. As you noted, very intricate......I think that's part of the adult attraction. Without being offensive, I would look for children coloring books with larger coloring sections and I would also do pencils, crayons might be too blunt.
