Never buy another coloring book again. There are tons of free printable coloring sheets on line. There are also lots of sites the have free printable worksheets for youngsters in school to work on.

I think I can buy coloring books cheaper than printer ink and paper!

I was going to say the same thing. I can get HUGE coloring books for a dollar. My printer cartridges cost $20, and I'd probably run it out printing the number of pages in a coloring book, plus the cost of the paper. My son does a LOT of coloring.

My kiddos love the 70 count lined notebooks. I buy them when they are on clearnace for 10 cents each. They just love to act their older cousins who are in school

1. Check Mommysavers freebie forum or other freebie sites for listings of free coloring books. I have been finding quite a variety from govt. associations. Some sites let you order 5 at a time!

2. If your kids like coloring on plain paper, keep junk mail etc. and have them draw on the backs.

I buy cheap coloring books but then there are times my girls want Bratz or my little pony and those are WAY to much so then I print them off.

Look for partially used coloring books at thrift stores. I have purchased them there for 10 cents apiece!
