Create Free Coloring BookFrequently Asked Questions
How many coloring books should I make for a party?
Plan for one book per guest plus 2-3 extras. Kids sometimes want to start fresh or siblings may want one too.
What age is best for coloring book party favors?
Coloring books work great for ages 2-12. Adjust complexity accordingly - simpler designs with thick lines for toddlers, more detailed images for older kids.
Should I print or use a professional printer?
For parties under 15 guests, home printing on cardstock works great. For larger parties, consider a local print shop like Staples or FedEx Office for bulk discounts.
How do I bind the coloring books?
Simple options include stapling along the spine, using a hole punch with ribbon, or saddle-stitch binding at a print shop. For a premium feel, consider spiral binding.
