All the artwork and content on this site has been lovingly created by us - Mia Thompson and Leo Grant. We both studied at the Brighton School of Art, where we met during an illustration class and bonded over our shared love of children's stories and doodling in the margins.
After college, we took different paths - Mia worked in children's publishing as a book designer, while Leo joined a small animation studio that focused on educational videos. A few years (and quite a few coffee-fueled late nights) later, we decided to team up and combine our skills.
The first spark for this project came from Leo's niece, Ellie. She was just three years old at the time and obsessed with coloring - especially animals in silly costumes. Every time we visited, we brought her new drawings: rabbits in roller skates, crocodiles drinking tea, and space-traveling cats. Ellie's giggles were the best feedback we could ask for.
When Mia's twins, Nora and Max, were born a few years later, the creative chaos only grew. We kept drawing, painting, and inventing little characters that filled our sketchbooks - and eventually our living room walls.
We'd often talked about sharing our drawings with other families, and one rainy afternoon (after Nora declared she was "bored of all the coloring books in the world"), we finally decided to build a website.
It's been a big learning curve - from scanning doodles to coding our first coloring game - but we've loved every minute of it. Now the site offers a growing library of free coloring pages, printable activities, and an online coloring section that works on tablets and phones. Our latest update includes over 250 unique colors, fun stamps, and a "save your masterpiece" button.
Over the years, we've received heartwarming messages from parents, teachers, and even pediatric nurses. Our drawings have been used in waiting rooms, classrooms, children's hospitals, libraries, and even one bird rescue center in Canada (true story - well, mostly).
There are now hundreds of whimsical characters and scenes on the site - and we're still adding more! Be sure to check the updates page to see what's new. And if your little one has a drawing request, don't be shy - we love a creative challenge!
