My son is a coloring kid. He’ll sit at the kitchen table with his crayons for the better part of an hour, completely absorbed, and honestly those are some of my favorite moments to watch. The trouble is we burn through coloring books fast. One day we ran out entirely, so I went online to print some pages — and the experience was just terrible. Ads covering half the screen, paywalls, sign-up forms before you can download a single sheet. I ended up using ChatGPT to make drawings for him instead.
The idea for ColrPage
ChatGPT worked surprisingly well, but I kept copy-pasting the same kind of prompt over and over, and the coloring pages got buried under everything else I use it for. At some point I thought: why not just build a little app for this? Somewhere I could describe what I want, tap a button, and have something ready to print and hand to my son before breakfast. That’s how ColrPage started — on a weekend, at this very kitchen table, while he was coloring next to me.
A place for parents
Now we’ve got this little corner where I can quickly whip up coloring pages, dig up older ones, and print whatever he’s in the mood for. Every page created on ColrPage is public by default, so what one parent makes, another family gets to enjoy. Browsing and printing are completely free. There are premium features if you want to generate your own pages, but the whole library is open to everyone — no strings attached.
At its heart, ColrPage is about getting coloring pages off the screen and into your kid’s hands. That’s really all it is.
