A Gift for Grandparents Who Have Everything
Updated
The short answerTurn 5 to 30 family photos into a coloring book, one page per photo, so grandparents and grandkids can color their own memories together. Give your book a title, a cover color and a short dedication. It is $14.99 as an instant PDF, or $29.99 as a printed book mailed with shipping included.
Why it works for grandparents
- It is about their family. Every page is a real moment: the grandkids, the house, the dog, the holidays they were there for.
- It is something to do together. A grandparent and a grandchild can sit at the table and color the same page, no screens needed.
- It is easy to keep. Colored pages can go on the fridge, in a frame, or back in the mail to the grandkids.
Which photos to put in a grandparent's book
- Each grandchild with Grandma or Grandpa, close up, so faces are clear.
- Old photos from their own younger years: their wedding, their first house, their kids when they were small. Scan old prints, or photograph them flat in good light.
- Big family moments: a holiday dinner, a birthday, a reunion.
- The pets, past and present.
Close-ups make the clearest pages, so mix those in with the big group photos. Our guide on which photos make the best coloring pages has more tips.
Make it personal: the title and the dedication
You choose the title on the color cover (up to 30 characters) and a short dedication inside (up to 40). A few ideas:
- For Grandma, with love from all of us
- Happy 80th, Grandpa! Love, the kids
- Color with me, Nana
- The Smith Family, Summer 2026
When to give it
- A milestone birthday, like a 70th, 80th or 90th.
- Grandparents Day, Christmas, Mother's Day or Father's Day.
- Before a visit, so there is something to do together when everyone is in the same room.
- A family reunion, with a page for each family.
The PDF or the printed book?
- Printed book, $29.99: mailed with shipping included to any address in the United States, so you can send it straight to the grandparents. It ships in 5–7 days and most books arrive in about 12 to 14 days. The PDF comes with it.
- Instant PDF, $14.99: ready in minutes, which makes it a good last-minute gift. Print it at home as many times as you want, so every grandchild can color their own copy.
Questions
Can I send the printed book straight to the grandparents?
Yes. The printed book is mailed to the address you enter at checkout, anywhere in the United States.
Can young kids color the pages?
Yes. Close-ups with big faces and simple scenes are the easiest for little hands. Big group photos have more small details.
Can I see a page before I buy?
Yes. We draw your first page free, so you can see how your own photo comes out before you order.
