Milk Carton
Toddler · 2–3A carton of milk with a gable top. Color the carton and the label! A fun way to talk about healthy drinks and where milk comes from. Print it on A4 or US Letter, or color it online with tap-to-fill.
A box with a peak
A milk carton is a rectangle with a folded triangular top, which makes it a good shape for a child who has done the basic shapes and is ready to see them combined into something real. The label is drawn as a separate region and is the obvious place for a child to add their own writing.
It is also a three-dimensional object drawn flat, and the fold at the top is what tells you that. Worth a mention for an older child.
A blank label
The label is the best part of this page. Let your child name the milk, or draw a cow on it, or write their own name. Packaging is something children see constantly and never get to design, and a blank label is an unexpectedly popular thing to hand over.
Frequently asked questions
- What age is this page for?
- Three to six. Simple shapes, with a label that gives older children somewhere to write or draw.
- How do I extend this page?
- Hand over the label. Naming the product, drawing a logo or writing their own name turns a colouring page into a design task, and children take it more seriously than you would expect.
