01On screen
The storybook
- Read together on a tablet, phone, laptop — or projected for a class.
- Landscape, full color, generous type made for reading aloud.
- A PDF. It opens on anything.
Designed for screen reading, not for printing.
01 — The mechanic
Not generic sheets stapled to the back.The same drawing, waiting for crayons.
Every page in the coloring book maps to a scene in its story — same characters, same composition, same moment. If a scene can’t become a good coloring page, it doesn’t go in the book.
02 — Try it
Go on — color it in
This is a real page from The Stardust Dragon’s coloring book — the same scene you dragged through above. Pick a color and click any part of the drawing. Then print it, exactly as your child would.
03 — What you get
One story. Two halves.
This is the part most people get wrong on the first read, so here it is plainly.
02On paper
The printable coloring book
- Every page is a scene from the story your child just read.
- Portrait, black line art on white. US Letter and A4 both included.
- Print the coloring pages as often as you like, forever.
Only this half prints — so you are not burning ink on full-color illustrations.
One purchase. Printed as many times as your child asks.
04 — Themes
Buyers browse by theme, so that is how we build
Each theme is a complete set of paired stories. A theme ships complete or it does not ship.

06 — For teachers
For early-years classrooms
The two-format structure fits a classroom unusually well: one story on the smartboard for the whole group, then a printed page per child.
The Classroom licence
Display and projection rights
Show or project the storybooks to your class. A print-only licence does not cover this, and it is the right most early-years teachers actually need.
Print for every student
Coloring pages for the whole class, unlimited, for as long as you teach.
- Covers
- One teacher, one classroom.
- Grade band
- Pre-K through Year 2. Ages 3–7.
- Skills named per title
- Every storybook carries a “Builds:” line — vocabulary, sequencing, narrative recall, fine motor control, pre-writing strokes, listening comprehension, cultural awareness. Only what the book genuinely does.

08 — The founder
Why this exists
Most coloring books have nothing to do with the story beside them. The pictures are generic, the characters are strangers, and a child who has just finished a story gets handed a page that has nothing to do with what they read.
The Play Kit is built the other way round. The storybook stays on the screen, where it is easy to read together and costs nothing to print. Every page of the coloring book is a scene from that same story — the actual illustrations, as line art, in the order they happened.
It is new. There are no reviews yet and I am not going to invent any, or borrow anyone else’s, or put a badge on this page I have not earned. What I can tell you is exactly what is in it, exactly what it costs, that you can have a complete story free before you spend anything, and that if it is not right for your child you can have your money back for thirty days through Paddle.

09 — Questions
Before you buy
The format, the printing and the payment questions worth answering before you spend anything. If yours is not here, email us — the address is at the foot of the page.
Do I need to print everything?
No. Only the coloring pages print. The storybooks are read on screen.
What device do I need?
Any device that opens a PDF — phone, tablet, laptop, or a classroom smartboard.
Can I print the storybook too?
It’s designed for screen reading, so the layout is landscape and full color. You can print it, but it will use a lot of ink and won’t be laid out for paper.
What paper size are the printable coloring pages?
Both US Letter and A4 are included. The coloring book is a PDF, so it prints on a home printer without resizing.
How much ink will this use?
Only the coloring pages print, and they’re black line art on white — far less ink than a full-color printable bundle.
Who will appear on my bank statement?
Paddle.net. Paddle handles payments for The Play Kit as our Merchant of Record.
How do I get a refund?
Email us within 30 days and we’ll arrange a full refund through Paddle. You can also request one directly at paddle.net. You keep the files.
Will I be charged tax?
Local taxes may be added at checkout depending on your country. Paddle calculates and handles this automatically.
Are the illustrations made with AI?
The stories are written by us. The illustrations are generated with AI, then reviewed and edited by hand before anything ships — every scene has to match its story exactly, which is the whole point of the pairing. That’s how we can build a complete theme and keep it at $19.
Start with one story, free
One complete storybook and its matching coloring book. No card, no subscription. If your child asks for it twice, you’ll know the rest is worth buying.
