What’s inside
1.Meet Lou’s forest friends
Color Lou alongside deer, owls, rabbits, hedgehogs, squirrels, raccoons, birds, bears and other woodland friends.
2.A different little story on every page
A picnic under the apple tree, acorns in autumn, a rainy-day walk, a snowy afternoon, flowers to water and even a tiny tree to plant. No two pages feel quite the same.
3.Made for little hands
The illustrations use clear black outlines, large shapes and plenty of open space, with just enough detail to keep each picture interesting without making the page feel crowded.
4.Lou comes along for every adventure
Kids will find Kiddalou’s little fox in all ten scenes, playing, exploring, helping friends and enjoying the outdoors.
Two sample pages from the pack:


Little hands are busy while they color
Coloring looks wonderfully simple, but little hands are doing quite a lot behind every crayon stroke.
- Pencil control and fine motor practice.Following curves, filling larger spaces and working around smaller details gives little hands lots of gentle practice.
- Focus at their own pace.Some children will finish a page in five minutes. Others will carefully decide what color every mushroom should be. Both are perfectly fine.
- Creativity and choice.There is no answer key here. A blue squirrel, a rainbow snowman or a pink forest are all completely welcome.
- A little quiet time without a screen.Sometimes all you need is a printed page, a handful of crayons and somewhere comfortable to sit.
Ready, set… print!
These pages were made to be easy to print at home, whenever you need a little creative time.
- Choose your paper size.Download the US Letter (8.5 × 11 in) or A4 version so the pages fit your home printer properly.
- Print at 100% or Actual Size.For the intended proportions and margins, select Actual Size or 100% rather than stretching the artwork to fill the page.
- Crayons or colored pencils? Perfect.Regular printer paper works well for everyday coloring. If your child loves markers or presses hard, a slightly heavier sheet can be a nice upgrade.
- Save your color ink.The pages are clean black line art with lots of white space, so they are designed to print beautifully in black and white.
Keep a few pages ready for…
Rainy afternoons. Restaurant waits. Quiet time. Road trips. “I’m boooored.” emergencies.
Print the whole pack once and keep a few pages nearby for those little pockets of time when crayons can save the day.
No elaborate setup. No instructions to learn. Just choose a page and start coloring.
