Our nine-year-old tester was as much of a fan as our three year old, and while their results might have been slightly different, they both loved colouring in the pictures and asking plenty of questions about the animals they hadn’t heard of before.
There are some incredibly intricate designs here, so there are some pages to really sink your teeth into. Best of all, you aren't going to run out of things to do with this site.
Featuring an A-Z with a difference, this gorgeously quirky colouring book from The Jam Tart got the thumbs up from all our testers. Each A4 page features a stylised animal letter to colour in, as well as an explanation for each underneath (great for encouraging our six-year-old’s reading). It gets bonus points for including patterned end papers for even more colouring opportunity, too.
(Try these mother-daughter books for a shared reading experience instead.) It’s filled with curse words and patterns that pair well with your favorite glass of wine.
You can even take a photo of your child’s free coloring page and upload it to social media, including Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, to share with all of your friends and family on your sites. From your preschooler to your teenager to the adult in your life who enjoys creating beautiful art, you can share each picture in a variety of different ways.
"Look at all these colors! The markers blend perfectly with the fantastic coloring book I got. I can't wait for their next book release."
