I also have mixed feelings about coloring pages, but suddenly Anna likes them. I guess there is something in the ability to transform black-and-white world into the world of color.

I love these! I'm going to print the rainbow and stars one for PBug, she'll love it.
I don't think there's anything wrong with coloring pages. Have you tried it lately? It's kind of relaxing 🙂

Yes, I remember as a kid loving coloring pages. I'm not sure how I developed my neurosis about coloring pages, but I am getting over it. It helps to find nice ones like these.

I'm glad I'm not the only mom that has that cringe-y feeling when it comes to coloring books, especially the commercialized ones. Melanie's coloring pages are lovely though-- I think that pages like hers can foster a sort of art-appreciation. As kids color a page they notice all the details they might have glossed over. The coloring slows you down so that you have a chance to look more closely. Maybe that's why I have that less-than thrilled feeling about commercial coloring books- because the thing that kids are slowing down and thinking about isn't just a picture-it's a product.
Mom and Kiddo says
Very well put, Tiny Reader!
