make your own monthly coloring sheets + free printable for parents

United States


One of my favorite ways to bond with my son is through creative activities, and this year, I started making DIY monthly coloring sheets just for him. It’s a simple yet meaningful way to encourage creativity, reinforce fun themes, and spend quality time together. Best of all, you don’t need to be an artist to do this! I want to inspire other moms to try this and to make it even easier, I’m sharing free printable coloring sheets you can download and use at home.

Why DIY Coloring Sheets?

Coloring is a relaxing and engaging activity for kids (and parents, too!). Creating personalized sheets makes it even more special because you can tailor them to your child’s interests, holidays, or seasonal themes. Plus, it’s a great way to add a personal touch without spending extra money on store-bought books.

February’s Theme: "You Are Dinomite!"

For February, I went with a dinosaur-themed design featuring cute dinos and a fun Valentine’s Day message: "You Are Dinomite!" My son loves dinosaurs, so this was a perfect way to capture his excitement while adding a sweet and loving element to the month’s theme. He had so much fun coloring, and it turned into a memorable activity we both enjoyed.

How You Can Do This Too

If you love the idea of making monthly coloring sheets but feel hesitant about drawing, don’t worry! Here are a few simple ways to make this work for you:

  • Draw Simple Shapes – You don’t need to be a pro! Simple hearts, stars, animals, or even tracing basic designs can make for great coloring sheets.

  • Use Free Printables – To make it easier, I’m offering a downloadable version of my "You Are Dinomite" coloring sheet so you can print it at home and use it with your little one.

  • Involve Your Child – Let them decide the theme for next month’s coloring sheet! This adds an extra layer of fun and keeps them excited about the activity.
