FAQ About Coloring Books

From when coloring book?

Coloring books are offered from 1 year and for different ages. However, there is no general answer to the question of when a child can start coloring in a coloring book. As soon as the child can hold a pencil in his or her hand and shows interest in drawing, an age-appropriate coloring book is suitable for promoting motor skills.

Which pens for a coloring book?

Many different types of pencils are suitable for coloring books. Depending on preference and paper thickness, markers, felt-tip pens, colored pencils, fineliners, gel pens, wax crayons or chalk pens can be used for coloring. Crayons are more suitable for thinner paper, as felt tip pens can often bleed through onto the underlying sheet. For smaller children, crayons and wax crayons are especially recommended because they are easy to handle and can be used with variable pressure levels.

When is my child ready for a coloring book?

According to the recommendations, children are ready for a coloring book from the age of 3. Some children are also ready earlier. The important thing is that a coloring book is appropriate for the child’s age.
