We made Colorín because our kid kept asking for coloring pages of things that didn't exist. An excavator playing violin. A cat eating sushi. A unicorn at a bakery. So we built an app that just… makes them.
This page is a glimpse. We curated some of our favorites here so you can print a few for free and see what the app can do. If you want one made specifically for your kid's wildest idea, that's what Colorín is for. The app is in the App Store and Google Play.
A few things worth knowing about coloring, since you're here.
It's actually one of the best things you can hand a small kid. The mechanics of holding a crayon and trying to stay inside a line build the fine motor control they need for writing later. There's real research showing measurable improvement in preschoolers after regular coloring practice.
It's also one of the few activities that calms both of you down at the same time. Researchers at Cincinnati Children's ran a trial on parents waiting during their kids' surgeries — the ones who colored for thirty minutes were measurably less anxious than the ones who just sat there. A separate study at Drexel measured cortisol (the stress hormone) and found a clear drop after forty-five minutes of art-making, regardless of whether participants thought of themselves as creative.
So when you sit down to color with your kid at the kitchen table on a Saturday morning, you're not killing time. You're doing something good for their hands and something good for your nervous system. Bonus: the page is one nobody else in the world has, because your kid made it up.
Pick something below and print it. When you're ready, download Colorín and unleash your imagination.
