What you will get

A clean black-and-white colouring page for children with thick outlines, large open shapes, no shading or grey and a plain white background in a portrait A4 layout, ready to print.

Common mistake

Grey shading or filled black areas appear.

Fix: Use the tip and write “no shading, no grey, no filled black areas, white background”. Print one copy to check.

Also watch for

The shapes are too small and detailed for young children. Say “for ages 3 to 5: very large simple shapes, few details, thick lines”.
The drawing does not fill the A4 page. Add “the drawing fills the page with a margin on every side, portrait orientation”.

Try a variation: letter page

Make it a learning page: “a big letter B in outline, with a bear, a ball and a bus to colour in”. Letters and objects together make a worksheet for early readers.
