Welcome to Coloring Book for Kids 40 picture, featuring original one-of-a-kind pictures to print and color, as well as printable craft and activity ideas for kids. We create all of our own coloring page pictures, so you wont find these great designs and pictures anywhere else. Use the pages to print and color -- or, use them as story starters, to create puzzles, decorate bulletin boards, or for filefolder games!

Important: Although fun to work with, coloring pages should be used carefully with children - especially those in the younger grades. Most importantly, children should be allowed to express themselves freely even if using a coloring page. The goal is not to color within the lines, choose colors that are "correct" or even to follow the image in the coloring page at all. Quite often children will be inspired by whatever they see on the coloring page and it will send them on their own creative path. Never judge a childs coloring abilities. The objective should be fun and play for learning... not to "fill in the color blanks".
BENEFITS OF COLORING PAGES:

Forget about the idea that colouring books are for kids. In a busy world, increasingly dominated by time spent in front of screens, grown ups are turning to the soothing art of colouring in. But the books were talking about are not reminiscent of the freebie colouring sheets handed out at chain restaurants that we remember from our childhoods. These are intricately designed books, some created specifically to help you de-stress and focus the mind.

But does it work? Can we really find relief in colouring carefully in between the lines? Hephzibah Kaplan, director at the London Art Therapy Centre thinks so.

“When choosing a colouring-in book with more complex or abstract images the convention is generally to keep different colours within different lines. This requires a relaxed focus where the outline is containing and the mark-making repetitive and smooth. So a bit like repeating a mantra where repetition is a means to relaxation, colouring-in is also a type of mediation.”

She added: “Meditation, whether secular or otherwise, has known benefits to mind, body and spirit. When focusing deeply on a simple yet safe task, other anxieties become less present, less pervasive.”

Bearing that in mind(fulness), here is our pick of the best books, sure to get you feeling calm and relaxed after a stressful day.

The books were chosen for their creativity, the quality of the illustrations and paper and how effectively they met with with any promise to keep us in a calm, focused, stress-free zone.
