10 Best Colouring Books for Kids UK 2024 | Harry Potter, Peppa Pig, and More

Now, more than ever, we could all do with a little more positivity! This colouring book, created by a team of educational and healthcare professionals, aims to help children process and communicate difficult emotions that they might be experiencing.

Each carefully designed pages offers an exciting way for children to reflect on their feelings and increase their positivity. Parents of children struggling with specific issues might also want to look out for other books in the series, such as those dealing with sadness and anxiety. A colouring book that teaches valuable life lessons is certainly something to be admired, and this one is an absolute bargain too! 

This "Around the World" colouring book has been produced by the British Museum in association with professional illustrator Thomas Flintham. It features a selection of 16 gorgeous designs depicting the various civilizations that have existed across the world throughout time.

This has got to be one of the most fun ways to introduce your child to history, and the book's endorsement by The British Museum means you can be sure of its accuracy. The high quality, thick pages are also perfect for felt tips! 

This book helps your little one to learn about everything from numbers and letters to shapes and animals, all through the art of colouring in. As your child colours in the designs, they'll soak up the lessons on each page.

Using this book is a great way of encouraging children who are easily distracted to focus on the lessons at hand. The selection of 100 designs is sure to keep them entertained for absolutely ages too!

More and more people are discovering the life-changing benefits of mindfulness. This book, with its intricate yet soothing patterns, seeks to lay the foundations for children by teaching present moment awareness. 

The complexity of the patterns means that this colouring book is definitely suited to older children - you might even find yourself wanting to join in the colouring fun! We can't think of a better way to unwind than to get the felt tips out and share some quality time together.

This colouring book is environmentally friendly, both in practice and in the lessons it teaches - its pages are made from 100% recycled paper and the crayons, or "honeysticks", included are made from 100% pure New Zealand beeswax (which is a natural by-product of honey production).

Within this product's pages, too, children are taught the importance of caring for the planet and protecting endangered species. Sure, it's a little pricey - but this book's sustainable materials and message make it totally worth paying extra for!

This "water magic" colouring book from Galt Toys is an excellent choice for children who are new to the joys of colouring in. Simply add water to the pen and watch your child's eyes light up as the colours appear before their eyes.

Small and lightweight, this book would make a handy form of on-the-go entertainment. It can also be used over and over again, although this is unlikely to satisfy older children who are likely to become bored with just six images. 

This bright, bold colouring book is a brilliant tool for encouraging young children to explore colour recognition. Furthermore, regular pen use helps to develop their dexterity and coordination skills. 

The simplicity of this book means that it's only suitable for a limited age range of 1-4 years. It also only features 12 designs, but this should be enough to ease your toddler into the world of colouring. For such a low price, we can't really complain!

These adorable colour-in postcards are a great way of encouraging your little ones to connect with friends and family. They cover almost every occasion and greeting, from birthdays to "get well soon".

Each design comes printed on nice thick card, which makes them sturdy enough for posting. Sadly, they're slightly shiny, meaning that using pencils on them isn't very effective. Felt tips, however, work perfectly well on the pages.

There's no better way to escape into the wizarding world of Harry Potter than by colouring it in! Budding witches and wizards can add a splash of colour to a huge variety of scenes and locations found in the film series.

Naturally, kids who aren't particularly invested in the films or books will lose interest rather quickly, and the intricate designs might be a little too advanced for younger artists. For older Potterheads, however, this is a must-buy!

Fans of Peppa Pig are sure to enjoy colouring in these lively pictures of the loveable pig and her friends, while parents will appreciate the "mess-free" pens, which work only on the pages of the book itself. This will prevent overenthusiastic artists from decorating the walls or carpet!

Kids who like to think outside the box may find themselves feeling a bit limited by the small selection of hues included, but those who don't mind using the same colours will have fun anyway!
