Things to look for when buying a Colouring book for kids:
1. Quality of the Paper
Quality of the paper used makes a huge difference in your child’s experience. If the paper quality used is poor, the colours might not show properly on it. And in case of watercolours, the poor-quality paper might become soggy and start to tear. Thickness also plays an important role. If the paper is too thin, the chances of tearing are high. Also, make sure that the paper is pure white (not off-white) in colour for the best experience for your child.
2. Size of the Colour Book
The size of the coloring book for kids or the coloring worksheets makes a huge difference to the child’s experience. In general, the size should get bigger with the age of the child. Young children find it difficult to paint on large coloring worksheets. And older kids do not like to paint on small coloring pages.
3. The complexity of the Pictures
Images in the coloring book can be simple or complex and may require a single color or multiple colors. Ideally, these should be based on the age of the child. Young children find it difficult to paint coloring books that multi-color complicated pictures. Similarly, older kids do not like to paint very simple single or two-color pictures. It is also preferable for young children to paint pictures that have a thick border, as their motor skills are not fully developed. The thick border helps children paint within the space more easily.
4. Give preference to loose sheets than a colouring book
If the colouring sheets are pinned to form a book, there is one advantage: the colouring pages will not get lost. But we advise parents against this idea because many times if the colours (especially watercolours) leak or spillover, all the pages in the book might get damaged. And with kids, you can expect accidents of this nature to happen quite easily
