Turning a Coloring Page into a Card
- Print on cardstock. Thick paper stands up and does not wrinkle under markers.
- Add the words by hand. Our pages have no printed text, so kids write Happy Birthday, Thank You or Get Well Soon in the banner, tag or sky. It is real handwriting practice.
- Fold and trim. Trim the sheet to half size, then mount it on the cover of the card.
- Write inside. Even a short line like "You are a great dad" means a lot.
The teacup flowers page makes a lovely get well soon card, and the party animals work as a thank you note after a party.

Birthday Party Coloring Station
Set a table near the door with a stack of the cake and party animal pages, a cup of crayons and a few glue sticks. Guests who arrive early have something to do, and shy kids get an easy way to join in. Add a bowl of star stickers and some ribbon scraps so the pages can be decorated after coloring.
At the end, send each guest home with their page rolled up and tied with a ribbon. It doubles as a party favor that costs almost nothing to make.
Questions people ask
Are these happy birthday coloring pages free?
Yes. Use them for a party at home, a class birthday, a library event or a card for grandma. Credit is up to you. The sheets may not be resold, and we would like to hear from you before any page is used on a product that is sold.
Can I add a name to the birthday coloring pages?
Yes. The cake page has a blank banner and the gift pattern has open spaces. Write the name and age with a marker before printing copies, or let each child write it themselves.
Do you have Mother's Day and Father's Day coloring pages?
Yes. There is a teacup full of flowers, a mom and child hug and a dad and kid fishing. The fishing page also works as a happy birthday dad card.
What St Patrick's Day coloring pages are easy?
The smiling shamrock is the easiest, with three round leaves and thick lines for ages 3 to 5. The rainbow with a pot of gold is a good next step for kindergarten and first grade.
Are there Chinese New Year coloring pages?
Yes. The Lunar New Year page shows a parade dragon under paper lanterns. It is detailed, so it suits ages 8 and up, and it looks great in red and gold.
Do you have get well soon or thank you coloring pages?
We do not print words on the sheets, but several pages work well for these notes. Use the teacup flowers for get well soon and the party animals for thank you, and have kids write the words in the open space.
