Prepare and Organize Your Coloring Pages
Before printing, check the page orientation and choose paper that works well with your coloring supplies. Crayons and colored pencils suit standard paper, while markers may work better with thicker paper or a protective sheet underneath.
Finished pictures can be stored in labeled folders, added to a binder, displayed on a wall, or grouped by animal theme. Writing the date or colorist’s name on the back can make a growing collection easier to organize.
