Why We Built Dear Coloring Pages Playground: the First Drag-and-Drop Coloring Page Builder
Several weeks ago, one of our users reached out with a simple request:
“Could you add underwater theme coloring pages with beautiful coral reefs and swimming fish?”
At first, we thought about planning it with our coloring page content schedule. But then we asked ourselves: what if instead of creating static coloring pages, we let parents, teachers, and kids build exactly the coloring page they imagined?
That question led to our newest feature: the Dear Coloring Pages Playground — the first drag-and-drop builder for custom printable coloring pages.
🎨 The Problem With Traditional Online Coloring Pages
Most coloring pages online are premade. You search, download, and print — but if the design doesn’t quite match what you need, you’re stuck.
Want the dolphin swimming closer to the coral instead of floating alone?
Not possible.
Need more jellyfish for your classroom ocean theme coloring page?
Not possible.
Want to create a unique birthday activity page?
You’ll have to settle for what’s out there.
We believe that coloring should be more than just filling in outlines. It should be creative from the start.

🌊 Why We Started With the Ocean
The ocean is a popular theme among parents, teachers, and kids. The underwater world offers endless creative possibilities — from simple scenes for toddlers to complex ecosystems for older kids.
Plus, the original user request reminded us why we started Dear Coloring Pages: to give families exactly what they need, when they need it.
✨ Try It Yourself
The Dear Coloring Pages Playground is live and free to try.
Create your own ocean adventure, print it out, and share it with your kids, classroom, or friends.
