There’s something that happens when you put a giant coloring page on the table.

Not a regular coloring book. Not a page you tear out and hand to one kid.
A big one. The kind that takes up real space.

At first, kids circle it. They lean in. Someone grabs a marker “just to try.” Another kid joins. A parent says they’ll help for a second—and suddenly they’re sitting down too.

That moment is the reason Tons of Hues exists.

I didn’t start out trying to create a product. I was just an artist (and a mom) noticing how rare it had become for families to slow down and do something together without instructions, screens, or pressure to “do it right.”

Coloring felt like the answer—but not the kind most of us grew up with.

Small Pages, Big Limitations

Traditional coloring pages are small by design. One kid. One book. One spot at the table. They’re easy to finish and easy to forget.

I wanted something different.
Something that invited collaboration instead of competition.
Something that felt more like an activity than a task.

When I started sketching oversized designs—full scenes, bold lines, lots of details—I realized scale changes everything. A giant coloring poster doesn’t rush you. It doesn’t tell you where to sit. It makes room.

Room for siblings to work side by side.
Room for adults to join in without feeling awkward.
Room for creativity that unfolds over hours or even days.

Why “Giant” Matters

A larger coloring page slows the whole experience down.

Kids don’t feel the need to finish it all at once. They move around the page, choosing what speaks to them. One colors the animals. Another focuses on the background. Someone adds patterns where patterns didn’t exist.

There’s no wrong way to use it—and that freedom is powerful.

Parents tell me their kids come back to the same poster again and again. That it stays on the table during weekends. That it turns into a shared memory instead of a quick distraction.

That’s exactly what I hoped for.

Designed to Be Used (and Gifted)

Every Tons of Hues poster is hand-drawn with intention. Bold outlines so all ages can color comfortably. Plenty of open space balanced with fun, whimsical details. Designs that feel playful without being busy.

They’re rolled, not folded, because I want them to arrive ready to use—or ready to give. They display beautifully in gift shops and specialty stores, and they feel substantial the moment someone picks one up.

This isn’t just something you buy because it’s cute.
It’s something you give because it does something.

What I Love Most

The best part of creating giant coloring posters isn’t the drawing—it’s hearing how families use them.

Birthday parties where everyone colors together.
Holiday tables covered in markers and laughter.
Rainy afternoons that turn into creative marathons.

I love knowing my art gets to be part of those moments. Quiet ones. Messy ones. The kind you don’t always photograph but remember anyway.

That’s what Tons of Hues is really about.

Not perfect coloring.
Not staying inside the lines.
Just making space—on the table and in the day—for creativity to show up.

And sometimes, all it takes is making things a little bigger.
