A variety of media, for discovering various colouring techniques

Caran d'Ache has designed a selection of original colouring postcards, posters and colouring books. Each is made of a high-quality paper suitable for both dry techniques and watercolour painting, so you can use all your drawing and colouring supplies!

Posters for home, postcards for travel

Caran d'Ache thinks big. Open up a world of possibilities for your fibre-tipped pens and pastels with a giant colouring poster. The XXL format is a welcome change from colouring books! You can proudly display the poster on your wall after you finish filling it in.
Or take colouring postcards along with you on holiday to send to friends and family. Bring along your favourite felt-tip pens or paints and make it into a relaxing holiday activity. Share with your children or enjoy on your own. These postcards come in plant, animal and landscape motifs that celebrate Switzerland.

The virtues of colouring

1. Colouring provides a comfortable opportunity to discover using coloured pencils and fibre-tipped pens, and to explore their creative possibilities.


2. It invites creative expression as you select colours and choose how to apply them.


3. Colouring involves being attentive to the details of an image. This practice improves concentration and attention.


4. Colouring is a soothing activity and has been proven effective against stress. It lets you forget the noise of the world and refocus on the present moment, as you trace contours and fill in each outline.


5. Colouring is an excellent way for young children to learn about colours and shapes. It also develops their sense of aesthetics.


6. Colouring is a way of expressing and releasing emotions.
