About these coloring books for kids

All of the children's books on the site sit on this shelf, and each one sticks to a single theme from its first page to its last. The first pages shown here give a fast way to choose by interest. Animal fans can start with cats, dogs, foxes, parrots, horses, crocodiles or axolotls. Fantasy lovers have dragons, unicorns and princesses, and dinosaur fans get a long-necked dinosaur on one opening page and a stegosaurus painting an egg on another. Some books follow the calendar: an easy birthday book that opens with a cake and three candles, an easy fall book that starts with a smiling oak leaf and acorn, and Halloween books led by a jack-o'-lantern under a bat or a ghost carrying a lantern. Most themes come as a pair, easy and cute. The easy openers show one big character with thick lines; the cute ones show the character busy with something, such as a dragon reading on a cushion, a fox sewing a scarf or a princess resting beside a treasure chest. That makes it simple to give two children of different ages the same theme at their own level.

Tips

  • With felt-tip markers, print single-sided so ink that soaks through does not spoil the picture on the back.
  • Staple the pages along the left edge or punch holes and tie them with ribbon, so the printout feels like a real book to a child.
  • Hand over one page a day instead of the whole stack, which keeps a theme fresh for longer.
  • In books that follow one character, such as the dragon, fox or crocodile, let the child pick its colors on the first page and keep them throughout.
  • Write the child's name and the date on the opening page when the book is finished; it makes a simple keepsake or a gift for grandparents.

Where to start

How to pick a book

Each book keeps to one theme and one level. Pick the theme the child is excited about, then check the level on the cover: easy books have thick outlines and big spaces, cute and medium books add more shapes, detailed books have fine lines for older colorers.

Single pages or a whole book

A book is one PDF to print as a stack for a party, a trip or a theme week. To print just a page or two, browse the coloring pages for kids instead.

Questions about coloring books for kids

What theme should I pick for a child who does not like coloring?

Start with whatever they already talk about: dinosaurs, a pet, horses or dragons. A book that follows one character, such as the cute dragon or cute fox, gives a reason to turn the page and see what it does next.

Do printed coloring books make a good party favor or small gift?

Yes. A printed and stapled book with the child's name on the front makes a simple gift, and the birthday book suits party bags. Pick a theme the child already likes.

Are these coloring books for kids free?

Yes. Each book downloads as one PDF in A4 or US Letter size with a free account (one book a day), and every page in it can also be printed on its own from the coloring page library without an account.

How many pages does each book have?

The 26{tw ? ' 本' : ' books'} here have 312{tw ? ' 頁' : ' pages'} in total. Each book keeps to one theme and one level, so the whole PDF suits the same child or group.

How should I print a coloring book?

Print at 100% or "actual size" in portrait orientation. Print one-sided if you use markers, so ink does not bleed onto the next page.
