What paper should I use for coloring pages?

24–32 lb paper works well for crayons and pencils because it's thick enough to handle coloring without tearing. If kids prefer markers or paints, cardstock is a better choice because it prevents colors from bleeding through.

How do I print coloring pages at home?

Download the PDF, open your print dialog, and set Quality to High and Scale to 100%. This ensures crisp outlines and pages that fit perfectly on standard letter paper.

Can I make my own coloring pages?

Yes! With Colorise you can upload a photo or idea and instantly generate a custom coloring page. Parents and teachers love using this feature for school projects, family activities, or personalized gifts.
