How to use it

  1. Put up the poster. Print the poster page on A4 or US Letter and pin it near the children’s area, the printer or the holiday-programme table. The QR code opens the site on any phone.
  2. Print a starter stack. Print 10 to 20 copies of each favourite page. Every page has its own A4 and US Letter PDF, so it prints at the right size first time.
  3. Mix the ages. Colour by number and dot to dot suit younger children; mazes, word searches and mandalas keep older children and adults busy.
  4. Use the monthly page. Our printable of the month is picked for the NZ and Australian season. Paste the ready-made block into your newsletter or display it by the desk.
  5. Ask us. Need a theme for a holiday programme? Email support@colouringnest.com and tell us what you are planning.

Every page on the site is free to print for your own group or programme. If you would like a print-ready collection for a whole library branch, see our site licences.
