Coated paper

Coated paper is a special kind of paper that's been treated with stuff to make it smoother and shinier. It's like putting a fancy protective coating on top of your paper, so it looks really nice and doesn't smudge or fade easily.

Imagine you're drawing a picture with crayons on a regular piece of paper. When you color over it too much, the paper can get all rough and bumpy. But if you used coated paper, it would be smooth and easy to color on, so your picture would come out looking extra nice.

Coated paper is used for all sorts of things, like magazines, books, and fancy artwork. It's also good for printing pictures and photos, because the colors will look brighter and more vivid.

So, if you want your drawings, pictures, or books to look really nice and last a long time, you might want to try using coated paper.
