Where and How to Use Them

At Home

• Rainy-day rescue: Print a small set and keep them in a “creativity drawer.”
• Family art nights: Choose a theme—rainbow hair, neon night, or sparkle challenge.
• Reward charts: Let kids earn a new Trolls page for completing chores or reading goals.

In Classrooms

• Early finishers: Provide a basket of pages sorted by difficulty.
• SEL and mindfulness: Use coloring for calm-down corners or transition times.
• Sub plans: Print a mixed pack with a quick prompt (e.g., “Design a troll hair salon!”).
• Cross-curricular tie-ins: Color while listening to read-alouds, reviewing vocabulary, or practicing patterns in math.

Parties and Events

• Coloring station: Set out crayons, colored pencils, and glitter gel pens.
• Placemat activity: Print on 11"×17" if your printer allows—or scale to fit standard letter-size.
• Contest fun: “Most creative hair,” “Best color blending,” or “Silliest background.”
• Party favors: Roll and tie with ribbon; include a mini crayon pack.

Therapy and Support Settings

• Fine-motor practice: Target controlled strokes, line tracing, and small details.
• Emotional expression: Assign hair colors to feelings and discuss choices.
• Regulation: Use repetitive coloring strokes for calming sensory input.

Community Spaces, Waiting Rooms, and Libraries

• Offer a rotating stack of pages with a small cup of crayons.
• Laminate and use dry-erase markers for reusable coloring.

On the Go

• Travel kits: Preprint a variety, slide into a folder with a clip and colored pencils.
• Restaurant-friendly: Keep a slim pack in your bag—no batteries required.

Printing Tips for Best Results

• Paper weight: For everyday coloring, 24–28 lb (90–105 gsm) paper prevents show-through. For markers and durability, choose 32 lb (120 gsm) or cardstock.
• Printer settings: Select “Actual size” or “Fit to page” depending on your margins; try “Borderless” if available.
• Ink choices: “High contrast” or “Black & White” gives clean outlines while saving ink.
• Markers and bleed: Place a scrap sheet underneath, especially with alcohol markers.
• Double-sided printing: Avoid it for markers; it’s fine for crayons and colored pencils if pages are light.
• Test page: Print one first to check line thickness and scale.
• Organize PDFs: Name files by theme (e.g., “Trolls_RainbowHair_01.pdf”) for quick reprint.

Organizing Your Coloring Station

• Sort by difficulty: Keep simple outlines for younger artists and detailed scenes for older kids.
• Use binders and sheet protectors: Easy to flip, pick, and protect.
• Prep kits: Small caddies with crayons, sharpened pencils, and a few gel pens.
• Display wins: Clip boards, fridge galleries, or string-and-clothespin walls.
• Save favorites: Slip finished pages into clear sleeves or scan for a digital keepsake.
