Mother's Day colouring books

Choosing photos she will want to see

1

Put her in it

The instinct is to fill it with the children. A book that includes her, with them, is the one that gets a reaction.

2

Let the kids pick a few pages

Children choose photos adults would never choose, and that is exactly what makes the book feel like it came from them.

Order printed by late April

Mother's Day falls in early May and printing plus post needs a fortnight. After that, the digital edition still works.

A photo on the left page and the same moment as a colouring page on the right.

Every spread pairs the original photo with its colouring page, so the memory and the drawing sit side by side.

How it works

  1. Pick your photos. Six to eighteen, straight from your phone.
  2. Choose a cover and title. The cover stays in full colour.
  3. Pick the detail level. Simple and bold for little hands, or intricate for older colourists.
  4. We print and post it. Or email you a print-ready PDF, if you would rather print it yourself.

Digital from $9. Printed, saddle stitched and posted across Australia from $39. See full pricing

Questions

When should I order?

Late April for a printed book. The digital PDF has no deadline and is emailed as soon as it is ready.

Can the children help make it?

Yes. Choosing the photos and the cover is the part they enjoy, and it takes about five minutes.

Where do our family photos end up?

In your book, and nowhere else. They are deleted once it ships and never shared.

Give her the people, not a mug

Six photos will do. There is a preview before anything is charged.
