Creating captivating coloring pages for your Amazon KDP books has never been easier with Canva. This guide will walk you through designing unique coloring pages that attract buyers, along with helpful tips to make your book stand out on Amazon KDP.
Canva offers two simple ways to create coloring pages. First, use pre-made templates: In Canva’s “Templates” section, type “coloring pages” in the search bar. A wide variety of coloring page templates will appear. Simply choose your favorite template, adjust the size to fit your book’s page margins, and start creating. Second, use graphic elements: In the “Elements” section, search for “coloring sheets” or more specific terms like “black and white dog”, “black and white food”… Canva provides numerous black and white images ready for you to use. Drag and drop the image onto the page, adjust the size to fit within the margins, and you instantly have a coloring page.
If you can’t find the right image on Canva, explore Pixabay (pixabay.com). This website offers a library of high-quality, royalty-free images. In the “Images” section, select “Illustrations” or “Vector graphics”, then enter your search term (e.g., “sloth”). Download the image you like and upload it to Canva for use. Remember to choose images marked “free for commercial use” to avoid copyright infringement.
Pro Tip: Don’t limit yourself to existing black and white images. You can also utilize color images with clear black outlines. Download the image, then in Canva, go to “Edit image” -> “Photogenic” -> select “Classic Mono” to convert it to black and white. Next, go to “Adjust” -> increase “Contrast” to whiten the inside of the image, leaving only the black outline.
Advanced Tip: To make your coloring pages more engaging, add a black and white background pattern. Choose a suitable background pattern in Canva and place it behind the main image. This will make your coloring pages more unique and attractive.
