relaxing coloring book

In an age where screens dominate and time flies fast, the simplest moments become the most meaningful. And few things are as heartwarming as a child pouring their imagination into a coloring page.

That tiger splashed with rainbow hues? That dreamy beach scene colored with pure joy? They deserve more than a spot on the fridge—they deserve a frame, a place of pride, and maybe even a bow.

Welcome to the calming and creative world of turning your child’s coloring into personalized wall art and thoughtful gifts.

At Bindablu, we celebrate creativity, mindfulness, and connection. Our Bundles of Joy Coloring Book and digital downloads are designed to inspire children to slow down, focus, and express their beautiful inner world. And with a few simple steps, their artwork can become keepsakes for loved ones.

Why Turn Coloring Pages Into Wall Art Gifts?

Coloring is already a mindful, enriching activity for kids, but displaying their finished pieces deepens the sense of pride and purpose. Framed coloring pages become lasting memories and heartfelt gifts for grandparents, teachers, friends, and even for your own home.

Creating wall art also:

  • Boosts your child’s self-esteem
  • Encourages them to be more creative and intentional
  • Makes gift-giving personal and meaningful
  • Reduces screen time while increasing mindful crafting

Step 1: Choose the Right Coloring Pages

Start with designs that are both expressive and clean. Our collection at Bindablu offers a variety of styles to suit every mood and season:

Encourage your child to choose their favorites and color them with intention, knowing they’ll be turned into something special.

Step 2: Scan or Flatten the Artwork

To preserve the quality of their creation:

  • Use a scanner to capture the art in high resolution.
  • If you don't have a scanner, photograph in natural light from directly above.
  • Flatten the paper using gentle weight or a low-heat iron with parchment paper (no steam).

This ensures your final piece looks crisp, clean, and professional.

Step 3: Choose a Presentation Style

There are many ways to transform coloring pages into frame-worthy or gift-ready art. Here are a few ideas:

☘️ Minimalist Framing

Let the artwork shine with a simple white mat and wooden or metal frame. Great for:

  • Nursery or playroom decor
  • Thank-you gifts for teachers
  • Seasonal gallery walls

🌟 Canvas Transfer

Have your child’s scanned art printed onto a stretched canvas. It adds texture and a gallery feel.

  • Use sites like CanvasPop or local printers
  • Makes a great holiday or birthday gift

🎒 DIY Poster or Collage

Print multiple colored pages into one poster-style collage.

  • Perfect for a hallway or study nook
  • Add their name or year to personalize

🧸 Shadow Box Display

Include the colored page with crayons, stickers, or a mini photo of your child creating it.

  • Beautiful keepsake gift for grandparents

Step 4: Add a Personal Touch

To make the gift truly unforgettable:

  • Write a note or title on the back: "Made with love by Ava, Age 5"
  • Use a small label or stamp for the year
  • Add your child’s handprint or signature in the corner

These details turn a pretty picture into a treasured keepsake.

Step 5: Wrap & Gift It with Joy

Presentation matters. Try:

  • Eco-friendly wrapping paper with a ribbon
  • A DIY gift tag made from another small colored drawing
  • Including a photo of your child in the process of coloring

Encourage your child to take pride in giving. It nurtures gratitude, self-worth, and the joy of generosity.

Bonus Idea: Rotate Seasonal Art at Home

Create a gallery wall at home where you rotate your child's creations. Match their coloring to the seasons:

This shows your child their creativity is celebrated all year round.

Connect Creativity to Collecting

Coloring and collecting go hand-in-hand when it comes to focus, mindfulness, and expression. Check out our popular post:

Final Thoughts: Make Their Art Last Forever

When you frame a coloring page, you’re not just preserving a drawing—you’re celebrating your child’s focus, joy, and growth.

These gifts are meaningful not because they cost a lot, but because they come from the heart. Turning a child’s artwork into wall art reminds them: their voice, vision, and creativity matter.
