Hi everyone!

I recently created a coloring book for kids that combines fun animal illustrations with a creative and enjoyable coloring activity—perfect for sparking curiosity and creativity!

The book has 50 wild animal coloring pages, with a variety of safari animals for kids to color. I also added a certificate at the end to celebrate finishing the coloring adventure.

I designed it with my younger cousins in mind, but it’s turning out to be a hit with teachers and parents too! If you’re looking for a screen-free activity or something fun to do with your kids, I’d be happy to share a sample page or more info.

Has anyone here tried safari-themed coloring activities like this before? Would love to hear your thoughts or suggestions!

If anyone would like a ready-to-print PDF version, feel free to DM me and I’ll send you a copy.

We can NEVER finish an episode of a show in one sitting. We have to pause it a million times for a million different reasons.

I’m trying to get better about not turning the TV on the second my kid says she’s bored. Not because I’m some super strict no-screen dad. I’m not. Some days it is doing important work in this house lol.
But I noticed once it goes on, it’s harder to turn off. Then bedtime gets annoying, she wants “one more,” and somehow this tiny person still has more energy than I do.
So lately I’ve been trying to stall a little before the TV comes on. Just something easy enough that I’ll actually say yes to it.
I gave her some coloring books and a few crayons, and she’s actually been really into it. She still calls me over to look at every page like she’s opening an art gallery, but I don’t have to sit there the whole time or clean paint off the table after.
It doesn’t replace TV completely. Let’s not get crazy. But it does buy me a little quiet time before the screen comes out, and honestly that’s good enough.
Anyone else find a random no-screen activity their kid actually stuck with?
