These have actually been a big help when we go out to dinner because all of my kids are busy vs. me always thinking of table games. My husband and I held an adult conversation without an interruption.
We would love the airplane book, mazes and logic puzzles.
Thank you!
Hi Ellen,
We have been pretty busy. The book is what I have planned for them to start today. I have lots of things to get done around my house. The book looks FANTASTIC!!! Thanks for sharing. Emma, AKA Alannah, Jesse and Jordans mommy.
We would really appreciate colored folding airplanes, logic puzzles, and more coloring ideas.
Thanks so much!
My childrens ages range from 4 to 10, we would love a few different things. Airplanes for my son, Origammi for my 10 year old and some dot to dot or paper dolls for my 4 year old. Thanks for all your ideas. Emma.
Not only does my 8 year-old daughter love working on the pages but it has proved to be a great tool to entertain and calm my nieces and nephews (more the girls though) when they come to visit. They range from 5 – 17 years of age. I must admit I’ve joined in on the therapeutic fun of coloring these wondrous shapes. It has served as quality time as well as quiet time.
You sent me the email which states: We received your request for “Twenty-Four-Hours of Peace-&-Quiet” from RaisingSmallSouls. Before we begin sending you the information you requested, we want to be certain we have your permission.
I am now waiting for the link to be able to actually access this book. Can you help? I clicked on the link, but was just taken back to the Raising Small Souls website.
Awesome resource! Thank you.
I would like to see riddles that could be used for 5, 6, & 7 year olds to be used in a scavenger hunt. I like to make scavenger hunts for Halloween & Easter for my grand children.
Paper Planes / Cars / Trucks would be great.
Logic Puzzles, progression patterns and mazes would be welcome.
Thanks so much for the resource.

In a time that people spend hours transporting their families place to place…I would like to see “Travel packets” that included thought provoking questions for fun, games, trivia,…
Sometimes this is a families quality time spent together.
Hi there,
My 6 year old son loves the colouriing pages in “peace + quiet”. For your next book I know my son loves mazes, dot to dots and colour by numbers! Can’t wait till the next book!!
thanks

As a former art educator I read the comments with interest. Having just seen the Animal School short film I am concerned parents will forget how different each child is. I loved the child who turned the page over and drew a monster. Coloring in the lines has value but is not very creative or appropriate for many ages.
Please suggest activities that encourage a childs unique vision of the world.
I LOVE anything that makes life easier for moms the coloring book is great. I really think that it’s not always about coloring in the lines but the skill that they get moving thier fingers, growing the muscles in their hands learning the fine motor control that comes from holding the items and learning how to move them and where the crayon goes when they shift their hands. It’s great to watch them grow and any tool is just that a tool to help them grow. Learn how to work from home Visit my website and request more information. http://www.MomsBiz4Home.com
I’m still waiting to get it? Was it to come directly to my e-mail as an attachment or a link??
Waiting…..
thank you
The Children just loved 24 hours of Peace & Quiet colouring pages, however so did I.
I also work in Outside School Hours Care and I am going to take these to work, they will be great for the Children. It will greatly enhance their concentration and fine motor skills.
Thank you so much

I am a Preschool Teacher at a small, non-profit, Christian school and the parent of two young children. I am very impressed with the Animal School Video and the free book! I first heard about your site from a fellow teacher / administrator. I have since referred several parents of gifted, though possiblly autistic, children. I would really like to refer your site to the parents of the rest my students and possiblly use the book in class (hence the colored paper sent home with referral and with copyright on it). I tried to write for permission to do this for the 12 students, but was unable to get pass my “spam” network. Thank you for your many blessings in sharing the Animal School video and parent/teacher information. How may I obtain permission to use the papers in class?
I think the coloring book is awesome. I have 4 children ages 12, 11, & 2yr old twins. The twins are too young to get it yet, they are just as happy with a blank page, but my older boys were intensely working on color schemes and combinations! I’m sure it will be great for the twins soon enough, but it reaches far beyond the scope of preschoolers & young grade schoolers! Thanks for the few moments of sanity!
The pages are excellent–haven’t used them yet for my 5 and 7 year olds (my step-babies–they’re with us about half the time), but they love these kinds of pages, and I can’t wait to give them (and myself) some creatively quiet time! I gave my 3 year old a couple, and she made “books” out of them. She’s been coloring them, but they’re a little too difficult for her. Activities for the “younger” crowd would be awesome, if you’re working on any of those ideas. Thanks so much for all you do!!
Loved the pages, although my daughter did not color them yet. Dot to dots and mazes would be great to see too!
Thank you!

My child would love to see the paper airplanes and origami next….. thanks so much!!

Rebecca, I just emailed the book to you!

I want to know how to download the coloring book
My kids love the fact that they can make the same page look so different. We love coloring together as a family too! Thanks again for the coloring book!
Hi, just to let you know, I downloaded the colouring book but then due to computer issues it was erased. Would it be possible to resend it. I would love to see another one with mazes and dot-to-dot.

I downloaded the coloring pages for my 12 yr. old son to use in school. He is allowed to color when he finishes his classwork, in order to keep out of trouble.
So far, it is working out, though not consistently.
I would love to get mazes, logic puzzles, and more coloring
designs for him to use.
Thank you for your ideas, help and resources.
Hi Ellen,
I personally love the coloring pages, though my 3 year old daughter seems to prefer to make her own drawings still. I think she’s love the color and cut paper dolls especially.
Great site by the way! I have been continuously recommending to all the families at the Parent Resource Centre I work in.
Thanks for all your hard work!
Hi Ellen,
I lost the download when our computer crashed and it says I am already a member when I try to get the coloring book back. Anyway I can retreive it?
My grandchildren just love it and I love the quiet time!
Thanks
Carol
Thank you for the download. I have a child for whom this activity is perfect. There are brain “issues” and this type of activity is something she can get lost in to decompress. Many thanks for making this available for free. It is truly appreciated.
Hi Ellen. My kids love the coloring pages, but I have had the same bad luck as Carol. My computer “crashed” and I lost everything. I will not be able to retrieve the last 2 1/2 years of pictures and home videos of my children
Can you resend the coloring pages to me? Thank you! Amy
I just downloaded the coloring pages and was so impressed with the wonderful designs! My son is 10 years old and loves to use his imagination on colors and designs, so I can hardly wait to hand him one of these sheets. I know it will be something that he will enjoy as an alternative to video games!
Loved the pages – I need more colored pencils. Would love to see mazes, coloring airplanes, and Look & Find pages. Thanks!
My kids would love the paper aeroplanes and anything to do with origami! Thanks!
I subscribed to get the coloring book but, I did not recieve the coloring book to download. It will not let me subscribe again. What should I do?
Thank you
pl. add pages ” find the hidden picture”
I also signed up recieved the e-mail and am not seeing the link to download the coloring pages. I would love to have these for some of my autistic students in my geometry class!
