Ever since I discovered I could make customized coloring sheets for my kids on ChatGPT, I realized I had created a monster. Every day, it would be a new request. "Can you make me one with a dinosaur on a construction truck?" "Can you do one with ALL the paw patrols?"

But I gotta admit - it's been fun (and a bit frustrating) playing around with ChatGPT. Pro-tip: upgrade to the paid version and you'll save yourself a lot of time and back-and-forth. 

My love language has always been hand-written greeting cards. But since only my eldest child can properly write at the moment, I love the idea of customized greeting cards that are more age-appropriate.

We recently went to Maui and had a family photo shoot, so luckily, I have a good photo of the kids with me in it (IYKYK!). I  used it to create this custom Mother's Day card for the kids to color in. 

After discovering this hack, Mother's Day cards will never be the same. Here's exactly how you can create these custom coloring pages using AI...

Here is the prompt I used:

"Reference the attached photo to create a black-and-white line art coloring page that's appropriate for kids ages 5 and up. The photo features a mother with her [number] children. The mom is [holding, sitting or standing] beside her children in a [warm, natural pose]. Add the words “HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY” in large, bold text at the top.

Below each child, include their name in all caps:
[CHILD 1 NAME] – oldest/tallest child
[CHILD 2 NAME] – middle/youngest, etc.
[CHILD 3 NAME] – and so on, depending on how many children there are

Keep clothing simple (no logos or busy patterns), and do not include toys or accessories unless requested. The style should be clean, friendly, and inviting—perfect for coloring.

Include a background with [trees, grass, clouds,] and swirling decorative patterns to add charm and fill in the scene naturally.

This should be suitable for a printable 8.5"x11" coloring sheet."
