The same scene, not a lookalike
The page is redrawn from the story's own illustration, so the characters, their poses and the setting all match the picture your child already saw.
The picture from their story, ready to colour
Printable coloring pages from your child's own story
Most coloring pages are somebody else's rabbit. This one is the sandcastle your child watched appear in their story last night, with them standing beside it.

Why a page from their own story is different
A printed coloring page is usually a stranger's drawing. A child fills it in, it goes on the fridge, and it could have belonged to anybody. The colouring was the only part that was theirs.
When the picture comes from a story about them, that changes. They already know who the girl in the crown is, because it is them. They know why the crab is watching. Colouring becomes a way of staying inside a story they have already lived in once, which is a different activity from filling in shapes.
It also gives a bedtime story a second life the next morning. The story is read at night, the picture is coloured at the kitchen table the next day, and the two halves hold each other up.
Why it works
Personal enough to matter, simple enough for tonight
Drawn to be coloured
Closed outlines, bold even lines and large open areas, so crayon stays where it is put and small hands are not defeated by fine detail.
Prints properly the first time
A real page with real margins, sized to print correctly on both A4 and Letter without a printer clipping the edges off.
Three steps, about fifteen seconds
How it works
Open any story your child has. Every story is created with its own illustration, painted from the adventure inside it.
Press Print a coloring page. The illustration is redrawn as black line art, keeping the same characters in the same poses.
A printable page opens in a new tab. Print it, hand over the crayons, and keep the file for the next rainy afternoon.
Every complete TaleLumi story is newly created from the choices a parent makes.
Built around real routines
When this earns its place
The morning after
The story was last night. The picture is something to do with it today, without reading it again.
Siblings at different ages
The one still too young for the words can colour the picture while the older one reads.
Something to actually keep
A story on a screen is hard to put on the fridge. A coloured page is not.
Wonder, written around them.
Turn what your child loves today into tonight's story.
Create one story now, then continue the adventure as a connected book tomorrow.
Questions from parents
A little more clarity
Do coloring pages cost extra?
No. Every story you make can be printed as a coloring page, on the free plan as well as a paid one. There is no separate charge and no separate limit.
What does it print on?
Ordinary paper. The page is laid out to print correctly on both A4 and Letter, with margins wide enough that a home printer does not clip the outlines.
Can I print the same page twice?
As many times as you like. The page is saved the first time you make it, so printing it again is instant.
Will my child be in the picture?
The illustration comes from the story, and the story is built around your child, so usually yes. What appears follows the characters and setting you chose when you made it.
Is it really black and white?
Yes, deliberately. Pure black outlines on white with no grey and no shading, which is what makes a page colourable rather than a picture with the colour taken out.
