- A message from them
- Type what they want to say, or leave it blank and let them write it themselves.
- What they call them
- Put it in the cover title: Nanny and Grandad, Nana and Pops, Granny, Grandma, whatever the grandchildren say.

- Get it out when the grandchildren come round and colour it in together.

Questions about gifts for grandparents
What do you give grandparents who have everything?
A colouring book of the grandchildren, made from photos they choose. They add the message too, and it's a book to colour together when they visit.
Can the book be posted straight to the grandparents?
Yes. At checkout, enter their address as the delivery address. There's no price or receipt in the parcel.
Will it arrive in time for Christmas?
It usually arrives in 3 to 4 working days by Royal Mail. We aim to post your book the next working day. Before you pay, your basket shows the date it should arrive.
Can all the grandchildren be in one book?
Yes. Mix them in however you like, together or one at a time. Or make one from each grandchild: extra books in the same order are 30% off. Books in one order go to the same address.
Should the grandchildren colour some of it before they give it?
It's up to you. If it comes to you first, they could colour a page or two before they give it, so part of the present is their work. Or leave every page to colour together at Nanny and Grandad's.
How is it different from a photo book?
A photo book is for looking at. A photo colouring book gets coloured in by the grandchildren, with Nanny and Grandad next to them.
What if we haven't got 20 good photos?
Most phone photos work well, and they don't all need to be of people: days out and places the grandchildren have been work too. Our guide to photos that make the best colouring pages has more ideas.
Can grandparents make one for their grandchildren?
Yes. Ask their mum or dad for 20 photos, and write your own message for the first page. At checkout, enter the grandchildren's address as the delivery address and it goes straight to them. You can do it all on a phone or a computer. See how to make one.
