Top 10 Silly Coloring Books For Kids

Goofy expressions, food monsters, and strange creatures make space for unusual color choices and funny character stories.

All ten selections are books by Kevin Coulston in this publisher catalog. This is an editorial browsing order, not an independent industry ranking.

How these ten were chosen

Follow humor across faces, monsters, aliens, and oddball animals.

Most picks are Trace Then Color titles intended for ages 3 and up. Any mixed activity title is described as such, so you can choose the page type your child wants.

1. Trace Then Color: Goofy Faces

A face can be a whole cartoon, and these goofy expressions give children a reason to look at each feature. Color choices can make the same kind of grin feel even more absurd.

Fifty silly expressions keep the focus on eyes, mouths, and the character of a face. Challenge a child to choose colors that make a face seem even sillier.

3. Trace Then Color: Grumpy Faces

Grouchy brows and comic frowns make these faces funny rather than sad. Try one color scheme for a very cranky face and another for a secretly cheerful one.

4. Trace Then Color: Cartoon Food Monsters

Food becomes funny when it grows eyes and a monster personality. Children can color a familiar snack in unexpected shades, then dream up another edible creature.

5. Trace Then Color: Crusty Goobers

These original Goobers are funny, weird, and a little gross in a kid-friendly cartoon way. Unusual colors suit a character that never had to look like a real animal.

6. Trace Then Color: Crusty Goobers 2

A second set of quirky Goobers gives returning fans more oddball creatures to trace and name. Make each new character look as strange or as cute as the young artist wants.

7. Trace Then Color: Weird Creatures

The strange creatures in this book have no real-world colors to copy, which gives a child permission to experiment. A young artist can make one creature friendly and another mysterious with the same crayons.

8. Trace Then Color: Mutant Animals

These animals have unexpected twists, so coloring them is as imaginative as tracing their outlines. Ask which animal parts a child would combine next after finishing a page.

9. Trace Then Color: Cartoon Aliens

Unusual heads, bodies, and features make these aliens open to almost any palette. A child can decide which planet each completed visitor came from.

10. Trace Then Color: Alphabet Monsters

Letter-inspired monsters connect a familiar shape with an imaginative character. Color the character first, then see whether a child wants to invent a monster for another letter.
