Coloring books for a toddler room: daycare and family child care
One book per child or one for the shelf, in English or Spanish. 111 drawings, ordered in any quantity on Amazon.
In a toddler room, children are often at different points in the development of drawing skills. That is why every drawing in the book is large, simple and alone on the page. A child who still makes sweeping marks can work freely on such a page, while a child with steadier hand control tries to color separate areas.
The word printed under each drawing is in outline letters and can be colored, and in the Spanish edition it is a Spanish word rather than a translated one.
The paperback is on Amazon in both languages, and any quantity can be ordered, whether that is one copy for the shelf or one for every child. For a set covering several rooms, write to us and say how many children it is for. Ten pages are free to print here in any number, which is enough to see whether these pages suit your room before you order anything.

Paperback, sold and shipped by Amazon in English and in Spanish. Any quantity can be ordered there directly.
First Coloring Book for Toddlers Ages 1-3
A first coloring book works best with big, simple drawings and thick outlines, with no small detail and nothing extra on the page. One picture per page makes it easier for a child to stay with it and color on their own. This book is built on that principle: 111 hand drawn pictures, each filling almost the whole sheet. Under every picture sits its name in hollow letters, which can be colored too.

Questions parents ask
Can I order a copy for every child in the room?
Yes. The paperback is on Amazon in English and Spanish and any quantity can be ordered directly. For a set covering several rooms or a whole center, write to us and say how many children it is for.
Can I photocopy pages from the book for the room?
No, but you do not have to. Ten pages from the book are free here and may be printed in any number for the children in your care, including copies sent home with families.
Is it too easy for the older children in a mixed room?
Past about three and a half, many children may find these pages too simple. The main sign is that the child becomes bored. In that case a coloring book with more complex drawings, or a step by step drawing book, is a better fit.

Ages on this site are typical ranges, not deadlines. Children reach these points at their own pace, and a few months either way is ordinary.
