Editorial Guidelines
Kids Coloring Prints provides free printable coloring pages and activity resources for parents, teachers, homeschoolers, caregivers and families who need them.
Our editorial guidelines describe the standards used when preparing a printable page or activity for publishing on the site. The guidelines ensure that the pages and resources are easy to use, appropriate for the audience, clear and relevant for different printable categories.
We create content with real use in mind. A printable page or activity should be easy to find, easy to open and provide value when printed. The resource may take different forms depending on its type, but the general idea is the same: to create a valuable resource for home, classroom and educational settings.
Suitable Content for Families and Classrooms
Kids Coloring Prints is intended for a broad audience of users who seek resources for children and families. Therefore, we do not publish content that may contain violent, disturbing, frightening or inappropriate imagery.
Before publishing, we consider if the page or activity may be appropriate for the user who will print and engage with the resource. We take into account parents who may print at home, teachers who may prepare classroom resources, caregivers who look for ideas for engaging their children and children themselves.
We strive for a safe and welcoming environment for printable activities and coloring pages within the context of regular home and classroom use and avoid content that may cause a negative impact on the audience.
Printable First Design
When designing a printable page or activity, we seek to make it intuitive and effective, both on screen and after printing.
When developing a coloring page, we seek to make it engaging with clean contours, recognizable shapes and some visual balance. A printable page should not be too cramped or too loosely structured, so coloring remains easy.
We design PDF files for print quality, which means that the page size is set to Letter size. However, our pages are also formatted to print well on A4 paper using standard printer settings. Our printable activities and designs are optimized for a convenient viewing and printing experience.
In addition, we take care to ensure that download pages are also user friendly. We seek to create convenient navigation to allow you to download the file you want without additional hassles. We seek to make our printables easy to identify and intuitive to work with during the browsing experience.
Readable layout, page organization and navigational simplicity are essential parts in the creation of our printable resources. You should feel welcome to explore the website, find exactly what you are looking for and have a simple time browsing to your favorite printable category.
Clear Titles and Descriptions
Titles and descriptions should be relevant to the printable content. We seek to make our page names clear and concise while providing enough description for the content they represent.
We avoid using descriptions that we think are misleading or unclear. A visitor to the website should be able to understand what a particular page contains just by reading the title and the description. It is essential in the case of printables because users may need to choose between resources based on their content needs before downloading the file.
Review Before Publishing
We review printable pages we publish on the site to ensure that the design, layout and content match the intended purpose of the resource.
We review the contours and detail design of coloring pages before publication, as well as the overall convenience and printability of the resource. The image on the page should match the visual content of the printable file, and the surrounding text should be relevant to the resource.
We also review published resources for issues that may require correction. If a resource has unclear contours or other elements that may impede coloring or printing processes, we update the file accordingly. We also review the accuracy of the page description in relation to the printable file to ensure that users receive the resource they expect to find on our website.
Corrections and Content Updates
Kids Coloring Prints is a living resource we update and revise to meet the needs of our audiences. We make corrections when a page, PDF file, title, description or content on the page requires revision for any reason. We update printable pages to improve file print quality, revise page descriptions, replace outdated resources or update an entry to meet current standards.
When we update our printables, we seek to improve the resource without disrupting the visitor experience. In some cases, an older resource may be revised when it does not meet current quality standards even if there is no specific technical issue. Such revisions are necessary to provide a consistently positive experience and keep our printable resources up to date for your convenience.
