The Itch Monster Colouring Book - Eczema Activity Book for Kids, Printable PDF Download

I started Bamboo Bubby in 2010, after eczema kept my own little boy awake at night. Bam began as the little panda on the Bamboo Bubby label. Over the years I watched so many families go through the same long, itchy nights, and I wanted their children to have a story of their own.

The Itch Monster is the book I wished I'd had at the end of my son's bed. Itch is funny, not scary. Nobody is told off for scratching. And Mum says the words every parent needs to hear: big nights are nobody's fault.

If your family knows those nights too, you're not alone.

We need something quiet to do right now. How fast do I get the pages?

Straight away. Your download link for the printable colouring book arrives by email as soon as checkout finishes. Open the PDF, print a page and get the crayons out.

How do I print the colouring book PDF?

Open the PDF and print on A4 or US Letter paper. Choose Fit to page or Scale to fit so nothing gets cut off. The pages are square, so you'll see a white border at the top and bottom of each sheet.

What paper works best?

Plain printer paper works fine for crayons and pencils. For markers or paint, use thicker paper or light card, around 160 gsm, so colour doesn't soak through.

Can I print pages more than once?

Yes. Reprint any page for your own family as many times as you like, so a favourite picture never runs out and brothers and sisters each get a copy.

Can I print copies for my kindy class or playgroup?

Each purchase covers one family. For a class or group, email info@nellavosk.com.au and we'll sort out a simple group licence.

Is it a colouring book for 2 year olds?

Yes. The pictures have bold outlines and big, roomy shapes made for first crayons and small hands, ages 2 to 5.

What's inside the PDF?

The whole Itch Monster Colouring Book, front cover to back cover: the story in words, 12 pictures to colour, Meet Bam and a note for grown-ups from Kelly. 32 pages in all.

Is this different from the free colouring pages?

Yes. The free and bonus pages are extra pictures. The printable colouring book is the whole story to colour, 12 pictures in story order, with the words on the facing pages.

Can my child colour on a tablet?

Yes, with an app that lets you draw on a PDF. Most families find printed pages and real crayons more relaxing.

Do I need the storybook too?

No, the words of the story are in the colouring book. For the full-colour pictures and the breathing rhyme, add The Itch Monster ebook or choose The Itch Monster Digital Bundle for both.

Can I share the file?

Please keep the file within your own family. If a friend would enjoy the pages, send them the link to this page.

Is anything posted to me?

No. The printable colouring book is a digital download only, so there's no postage. Prefer a bound book? Choose The Itch Monster Colouring Book paperback.

What if the file won't open?

Because a download can't be returned, we don't offer change-of-mind refunds on digital files. If your file won't open, looks wrong or the link has expired, email info@nellavosk.com.au and we'll fix it or refund you.
