License policies can sound formal, but at ColoringLands we keep things simple. You may use our free coloring pages for your own enjoyment, for example on a quiet Sunday evening at home, or in a small classroom where children need a creative break. What you may not do is sell the coloring pages, claim them as your own, or use them as promotional material for a brand. This policy explains what is and is not allowed under Dutch copyright law.
Imagine this: you print ten pages for a family activity, the children color along, and you keep the rest in a folder at home. That is exactly what our pages are made for.
