Birthday giveaway
My youngest turns four on November 15th
So I am giving four families a full year of pages, puzzles and games. I built Once Upon a Colour as a mother of two girls, for tables like yours. Play our free word search game and you are in the draw.
I will announce the winners myself on November 16th, and write to each of them by email.
With love, Inês

Everything inside
More than coloring pages, all under one membership.
I make each of these in the same studio style, so anything you print looks like it belongs together. One plan opens the lot.
Coloring pages
Hundreds of pages, sorted by theme, age and season, with new ones added every week.
ABC alphabet pages
Build your own from the library, in English, Português, Español and Français, in print letters or joined handwriting letters.
Word search puzzles
Sized by age, with an answer key on its own page, in English, Português, Español and Français. Or build your own puzzle from your own words.
Memory card games
Print them plain to colour in, or already coloured and ready to play.
Matching activity packs
Five pictures to match with their words, in black and white or colour, in four languages. Still in test mode, so please be patient with us.

The real search
Finding a coloring page should not take longer than coloring it.
If you have ever looked for free coloring pages online, you already know how it goes. Tap each problem to see what happens here instead.
Made openly
Yes, we use AI. Here is exactly where, and what happens next.
Many AI coloring pages are made quickly and sent out unchecked, and you can usually tell. Everything inside Once Upon a Colour is the result of about a year of work, made this way, one page at a time. Choose a stage to see what often goes wrong, and what happens here instead.
Often with AI alone
Themes chosen by whatever a tool suggests, so pages repeat themselves and drift off topic.
Here
Every theme and picture idea is written and edited by me, with one firm rule: no words or letters are ever drawn inside a picture.
What I do not do
- I never feed AI with coloring pages that other artists drew by hand.
- I never pretend I do not use it. You are reading exactly where and how.
- I never add a page to the library without taking it through my own workflow first.
I would rather you know this now than find out later.
If you do not support the use of AI at any stage, Once Upon a Colour is not the right fit for you, and that is completely fine. If you are comfortable with it used carefully, with a person checking every step, you are very welcome here.

Questions
Before you join.
What do I get with a membership?
Every coloring page in the library and every new page added, plus ABC pages, word search puzzles, memory card games and matching packs. Print them in A4, Letter, A5, Legal or Square, portrait or landscape.
Do I need to create an account first?
No. Choose a plan, pay with your email and your account is created for you the moment the payment finishes.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes, from your account page. You keep access until the end of the billing period you have paid for.
Is there a free trial?
There is no trial period, but you can try colouring, memory cards, ABC pages and word searches right here on this page. A new free page also goes up every day, with no account and no email needed.
Can I use the pages in my classroom or practice?
Yes. Your membership covers personal use at home, classroom use, and professional use such as therapy sessions, tutoring and party planning, for as long as you are subscribed. The page files themselves cannot be resold or shared.
Do I need to download an app?
No. It works in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer, and you can add it to your Home Screen so it opens like an app.
Which languages do the pages come in?
English, Português (Portugal), Español and Français. That covers ABC pages, matching packs and word searches, and the word search packs in the shop come in all four too: you pick your language before you buy, at one price. Coloring pages have no words, so they work in any language.
Can I add Name, Class and Date to the pages?
Yes. Switch on homework mode when you download and the sheet prints with lines for Name, Class and Date across the top. It works on coloring pages, ABC pages, word puzzles and matching pages.
Can the ABC pages use handwriting style letters?
Yes. Choose between standard print letters and joined handwriting letters (manuscript), the style taught in many European schools. Both are available in English, Português, Español and Français.
What if I cannot find the page I need?
Request it. Describe what you need and I will make it, with a rush option if you need it sooner for a class, party or season.
