About This “Choose Joy” Coloring Page
This “Choose Joy” coloring page turns an uplifting phrase into a piece of art kids and grown-ups can color, display, and enjoy. The words “Choose Joy” are drawn in bold, easy-to-follow hand-lettering, and the whole design is framed by flowers and playful decorative swirls, giving colorers plenty of pretty little details to fill in alongside the big, bold letters.
Coloring has been a favorite screen-free activity for well over a century, and this choose joy coloring page carries on that tradition. Curious how it all started? Read about the history of coloring books.
Because the lettering is large and the outlines are clean, this page works well for a wide range of ages — younger kids can stick to simple colors inside the big letters, while older kids and adults can take their time with the smaller flourishes around the border. Positive-quote coloring pages like this one have become a favorite way to end up with a colorful, uplifting keepsake that is actually worth pinning to a corkboard or taping to a bedroom door when it is finished.
This design fits right in with the Coloring Glade collection, since it connects naturally with our Kids Coloring Pages and Adult Coloring Pages, and it will also be part of an upcoming “Affirmation Coloring Pages” roundup collection we are putting together on the site.
Why This Coloring Page Is Special
Positive-quote coloring pages are one of the most shared styles of printable art around, and it is easy to see why. Coloring in a phrase like “Choose Joy” gives kids a fun activity and, at the end, a cheerful little sign of their own making — something they colored themselves that says something nice.
Hand lettering itself has a long, interesting history as an art form, turning simple words into decorative designs; you can read more about the craft on Wikipedia’s hand lettering overview. For a lighter, kid-friendly angle on why coloring is such a good pastime for children, a fun starting point is Kiddle’s coloring for kids article, which covers why coloring is such a popular activity for children of all ages.
Coloring a page like this one is also just a nice, quiet way to spend twenty minutes — no screens, no rush, just crayons, a phrase worth remembering, and a pretty border to fill in.

For Teachers and Classrooms
Teachers can use this printable as part of a classroom art center, an early-finisher activity, or a calm-down corner page. Because the message is warm and simple, it also works nicely as a small reward or a feel-good addition to a classroom bulletin board once students have finished coloring it in.

How to Print
This “Choose Joy” coloring page is designed for easy printing on standard US Letter size paper, which is 8.5 x 11 inches.
To print this page:
- Download the “Choose Joy” file.
- Open the image or PDF on your device.
- Click Print.
- Choose US Letter paper size.

Regular printer paper works well with crayons and colored pencils. If you or your child plan to use markers, thicker paper is better because it helps prevent ink from bleeding through, especially since this page has fine lettering details worth keeping crisp.
