Have you ever wished you could bring your crochet creations to life in a whole new way? Now you can—with crayons, markers, colored pencils, or even watercolor! 🎨
I’m thrilled to introduce something brand new to the Simply Hooked shop: printable amigurumi coloring pages inspired by my most-loved plushie designs. These black-and-white line art illustrations are a fun, affordable, and creative way to enjoy your favorite characters all over again—this time with your own colorful spin.
Each coloring page is just $0.25, making this the most budget-friendly way to collect cuteness. And when I reach 24 designs, I’ll be bundling them together into a full amigurumi coloring book—so stay tuned for that launch!
Why Amigurumi Coloring Pages?
Repurposed With Purpose
What started as a way to spread joy through yarn has now blossomed into something new—a printable collection that blends crochet and creativity.
Turning my plushie designs into coloring pages felt like the most natural next step. These characters were made to spark imagination and bring smiles. Now they can do just that for kids, adults, makers, teachers, and color-loving creatives alike.
The Magic of Crochet-Inspired Coloring
A New Way to Enjoy Amigurumi
Amigurumi isn’t just about making plushies—it’s about play, creativity, and joy. With these coloring pages, you can:
● Enjoy your favorite plushie pals without picking up a hook
● Share amigurumi with little ones who may not crochet yet
● Explore new color palettes before crocheting a toy
● Relax with mindful coloring
Perfect for Kids and Adults
Coloring isn’t just child’s play. Studies show that adult coloring can reduce stress, promote relaxation, and even boost focus. Pair that with the cuteness of amigurumi, and you’ve got the perfect self-care activity.
What’s Inside the Amigurumi Coloring Collection?
Each page is:
● Inspired by an original Simply Hooked crochet plushie design
● Delivered as an instant digital download
● Printable at home on standard paper
● Great for gifts, classrooms, craft fairs, or just rainy-day fun
● A wonderful way to share amigurumi with kids, parents, or fellow makers
It’s like bringing your plushies into a whole new dimension—and the best part? No yarn required. 😉
Why Coloring Pages Make Great Gifts
Coloring pages are budget-friendly, versatile, and personal. For just a few cents, you can create something meaningful:
● Classroom Gifts – Teachers can use them for art time, rewards, or themed lessons.
● Birthday Party Activities – Print off stacks of amigurumi coloring sheets for kids to decorate together.
● Craft Fair Extras – Pair coloring pages with crochet patterns for a unique bundle.
● Stocking Stuffers – Easy to print, fold, and tuck into holiday surprises.
They’re affordable, lightweight, and easy to share digitally—making them a go-to gift for all ages.
The Benefits of Amigurumi Coloring for Makers
If you’re a crocheter, these printable crochet coloring pages give you:
● A low-cost way to collect your favorite Simply Hooked designs
● A fun way to preview different color combinations before crocheting
● A creative outlet when your hands need a break from yarn
● A chance to involve your kids or grandkids in your crochet world
It’s a bridge between crochet and creativity that anyone can enjoy.
Featured Designs (Growing Every Month!)
Right now, you can download coloring pages inspired by some of Simply Hooked’s most popular plushies:
● Penelope the Pig – a farmyard favorite with endless pink possibilities
● Franny the Flamingo – tall, graceful, and perfect for bright tropical hues
● Cameron the Camel – quirky and charming, ready for sandy tones or rainbow fun
And this is just the beginning! As I continue designing crochet plushies, I’ll keep turning them into coloring pages until we reach 24+ designs—at which point they’ll become a full crochet-inspired coloring book available in print and digital formats.
Why Makers Love These Coloring Pages
Makers who’ve grabbed these early releases have told me:
● They love sharing amigurumi with their children through coloring
● They enjoy testing color combos before buying yarn
● They use the pages at craft shows to keep kids entertained
● They appreciate the affordable price point
At just $0.25 per page, it’s the most accessible way to collect Simply Hooked cuteness.
How to Use Amigurumi Coloring Pages
Not sure how you’ll use them? Here are some ideas:
● Print at home for personal coloring fun
● Bundle a few pages into a classroom art packet
● Include one with every crochet order for a surprise extra
● Laminate pages and use dry-erase markers for reusable fun
● Host a “color and crochet” night with friends
The possibilities are endless.
Craft Fairs & Small Business Ideas
If you’re a maker who sells at craft fairs, here’s a smart idea: pair a coloring page with the finished plushie.
Imagine a child walking away with both a handmade toy AND a coloring page of the same character. It’s memorable, affordable, and adds value to your booth without much extra work.
You could also:
● Offer free coloring pages as a promotional bonus
● Sell bundles of 5–10 designs as a low-cost upsell
● Display finished colored pages alongside your plushies to attract kids
This kind of cross-medium creativity makes your booth stand out from the crowd.
Stress Relief Through Coloring
Crochet and coloring have something in common: they’re both calming, meditative activities.
● Crochet helps keep hands busy and minds focused.
● Coloring reduces anxiety and promotes mindfulness.
Together, they create a synergy of creativity and calm. Even if you’re not currently crocheting, these coloring pages allow you to stay connected to the world of amigurumi in a relaxing way.
What’s Coming Next?
As the Simply Hooked collection grows, expect new releases like:
● Woodland animals
● Sea creatures
● Farm friends
● Fantasy designs
Every new plushie will inspire a new coloring page—so the collection will never stop expanding. And once the full amigurumi coloring book is available, you’ll be able to get them all in one bundle.
