Coloring Business Cards to Color In

Are you looking for a coloring activity for older children that only takes up a little space?

Do you have kids that like small detail work and like lots of practice?

Coloring outlines on business cards is a fun choice.

Pull out some coloring business cards and colored gel pens and or fine tip markers, and let the kids color away.

These designs are printed on the business card size of your choice; the standard and chubby sizes come in packs of 100. Kids can enjoy making new colorings with these little designs. They can either keep them all to see their progress over time, make a collage, and or give them away.

This first one is a basic and simple design of three sailboats. Younger children will enjoy their simplicity. Older children can enhance them with additional details to the boats, and add extra scenic details like the ocean, the sky, etc.



I was watching an underwater video on YouTube one day and saw a striped fish with multiple colored stripes. I had no idea that such a multi-colored fish existed. Had I seen it in an artistic picture, I would have thought that a someone had just colored it that way. So have fun. Be creative.

The flowers on these cards can be a different color each time, or even covered with stripes and polka dots! You and or the kids can decorate them any way.


Here is a fun design featuring a boy gazing at the shapes in the clouds. He is sitting and leaning back on a tree, near a field of flowers. I used to enjoy gazing at the clouds and imagining what all the different shapes could be. It's a fun to imagine. Do you look at the clouds and imagine? I see a rabbit leaping over the field. What do you see?


I have tested colored ink gel pens and markers on my business cards, and as long as you don't immediately wipe over the color, it adheres pretty well. However, you might want to pre-test your coloring instruments before handing them over to the kids. For best results, you can choose the matte finish on the business cards.

Do let me know if you have any outline drawing requests for these coloring business cards.
