What coloring books should I buy for a picky child?

By: Evans on Sep 26, 2025 06:59 AM EST

Hello, coloring book lovers! I'm trying to find a good coloring book. I love coloring, but I'm picky about coloring books. These days, I usually use children's ones because I'm a child myself, but they're too simple. I've tried adult ones, but they just irritate and stress me out.
I really like coloring books with lots of objects, but these objects are easy to color. Essentially, this is a more detailed children's coloring book. I'm not a big fan of coloring mandela and zentangles. I'll add a few examples in the comments (the pages aren't mine and I didn't make them, I just found them on Google).
And yes, I know it's a little ridiculous how picky I am about coloring books, but if they're not right, it just stresses me out, so please be polite :))))

Being picky about coloring pages isn't stupid; it just means you know what you like. Judging by your description, you're looking for something playful and detailed, yet light and fun, not overly busy. Essentially, this coloring book is like an "adult version" of a children's book—lots of objects to color, but nothing too complicated or intense.

To make it easier to stay within the lines, it's best to choose coloring pages with thick outlines and a variety of objects on the page. Detailed children's coloring pages like https://wowcoloring2kids.com/tails-coloring-pages/ are ideal for you. They feature a lot of objects on the page, but the lines are simple and easy to color. It's easiest to use medium-soft colored pencils or felt-tip pens, coloring the larger objects first and then moving on to smaller details. You can add subtle shadows and highlights. This makes the picture bright and beautiful, even if the objects are simple.
