If you’re looking for July coloring pages that help you find small pockets of calm in the middle of a loud, busy summer—and represent families that look like yours—you’ve found them.

A Note from Louisa (Founder of MyKidColors)

July in our home is loud, warm, messy, and full of motion. My preschooler lives for being outside, and seeing how my 18-month-old chases him around, I know this will be her season too.

Meanwhile, I’m… not exactly an outdoorsy mom. I love the idea of summer, but I also crave calm, quiet, and intentional moments indoors.

This year feels especially big because it’s my son’s first real summer after finishing Junior Kindergarten. No daycare schedule. No built-in routine. Just long days, lots of energy, and a house that needs a game plan.

Less searching. More MEANINGFUL moments.

When kids recognize themselves on the page, coloring changes.

The Inclusive Family Coloring Collection includes 25 human-drawn illustrations centered on everyday moments — designed to make inclusion feel normal, joyful, and intentional.

Because representation shouldn’t be reserved for one month.

I already feel how quickly summer slips away, which makes me want to be more present—to slow down our mornings and create small traditions before the season disappears. That’s why I created this collection.

July isn’t about perfect schedules for us. It’s about gentle structure, meaningful connection, and finding a quiet activity that lets us sit together when the world feels a little too chaotic.

Conversation Corner: 3 Questions to Ask While Coloring

Turn this activity into a bonding moment. While your child colors, try asking these questions:

  1. For the “Family Picnic” (Page 8): “Look at the family watching the fireworks together. What is the loudest sound you’ve ever heard? Did it make you jump or laugh?”
  2. For the “Bubbles & Dog” (Page 10): “That dog looks so happy chasing bubbles! If we could have any animal play with us in the backyard today, what would you choose?”
  3. For the “Night Walk” (Page 14): “They are walking together when the moon is out. What is your favorite thing about summer nights? The fireflies, the cool air, or staying up late?”
