Coloring Pages to Print


Are you new to the idea of coloring pages to print?

I sure was not too long ago.

Most of us used coloring books as children. To some of us there was nothing more exciting than a brand new BIG box of fresh crayons, all in order with fresh sharp tips. We always had a bigger box of crayons at grandma's house than at home and there were always at least a few large coloring books to color in while visiting there.

Sometime we squabbled over who got to color which page or who could use which color or who did a better job on their page, but in general we had a good time and spent many busy hours coloring away.


Finding Coloring Books


When my own grandchildren were old enough for coloring books, I was surprised to find they were no longer a standard item in the toy aisle of the local discount stores. I did eventually find a limit selection, but that's just it, it was limited.

I then became aware of online sources of coloring sheets to print. Individual sheets that could be downloaded and printed at home. How great was that? No more squabbling over who got each page! Now you could just print more if needed for whatever reason.

And an added bonus was you could print out coloring pages on any paper you choose. I remember even as a child being sensitive to the rough texture of the newsprint paper often used to print commercial coloring books. Newsprint paper is highly acidic and will yellow with age. Now with coloring pages to print yourself, you can choose to use better quality paper and even use archival color pencils and markers for special projects.
