Colouring book ideas

For grandparents who do not need another candle

Colouring books for grandparents

Choosing what they have not seen

1

Use photos they have not seen

The everyday ones, school mornings, the backyard, the bath, matter more than the ones already sent in the family group chat.

2

Make it an activity for visits

A book kept at their house, coloured a page at a time when the grandchildren visit, gets far more use than one taken home.

3

Larger, simpler pages are kinder

Eyesight and hands are worth thinking about. The simpler line-art levels have bolder outlines and larger areas, which are easier to see and colour.

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

Can I send one to grandparents overseas?

The digital edition goes anywhere by email. Printed books post within Australia only.

Which detail level should I choose?

For older colourists, the simpler levels have thicker outlines and larger open areas, which are more comfortable to work with.

What happens to photos of the grandchildren?

They are deleted the moment the book ships, and they are never sold or shared.
