As you’ll see above, we include a wide variety of PDF coloring pages for kids of all ages from toddlers to preschoolers to primary school-aged kids (kindergarten through grade 7) as well as teenagers.
If your kids are like my grandkids, you will be printing out the same ones again and again in the future so you will definitely want to save them for future use.
Using crayons, felt tip pens, glue, glitter (eek!) and stickers, our testers really enjoyed getting stuck in – we were initially unsure as to whether the lack of direction might put them off, but simply the shape of the paper was enough to fuel their imaginations. Our youngest tester thought the teddy bear was “so cute” and happily doodled over the pages, while the older two took their teddy bear design quite seriously and enjoyed challenging each other to colour different types of bears – more pirate bear and sleepy bear than polar bear and brown bear.
Throughout the book there are suggestions on what to draw and colour, alongside iconic artworks for inspiration (for example, create a drawing of a group of friends in tiny dots, in the style of Georges Seurat). Aimed at older children – they will want to be able to read independently unless you are happy to sit with them and explain every page – our nine-year-old tester was thoroughly absorbed in this from the start.

While Dorn noted that coloring books are not art therapy, she pointed out the therapeutic qualities of the books and their ability to help relieve stress.
