The Kids Bucket List Colouring Book – A Year of Memories Waiting to Be Coloured In

Childhood is a magical time — full of firsts, laughter, and wide-eyed wonder. But in our fast-paced, digital world, it’s easy for those simple, joy-filled moments to slip by. That’s why the Kids Bucket List Colouring Book was born — a beautiful blend of creativity, adventure, and heartfelt connection between parents and children.

Created by 9-year-old Skye and her mum Kash Harvey, this book isn’t just another colouring book. It’s a doorway to discovery, designed to inspire children to explore, imagine, learn, and live life beyond screens. Over the past two years, Skye has personally tested and loved every activity inside — from having backyard picnics to visiting the zoo, feeding ducks, or baking cookies with mum. Now, she’s sharing those experiences with other kids across New Zealand.

And the best part? Every book sold feeds one Kiwi family for an entire day through KiwiHarvest, so each purchase not only sparks joy at home but spreads kindness in the community too.

A Book That Inspires Action, Not Just Colouring

Unlike typical colouring books, this one encourages kids to do first, then colour.
Each page lists a fun activity — big or small — that children can tick off once they’ve done it. When they complete an activity, they can colour in the matching page, write down the date, who they did it with, and what made it special.

Imagine your child coming home after visiting the beach, running to grab their bucket list book, and proudly colouring in their “Beach Day” page while recalling every laugh, splash, and seashell they found. That’s what this book is all about — turning experiences into memories.

100 Adventures to Fill the Year With Joy

The Kids Bucket List Colouring Book features 100 fun activities, thoughtfully divided into five inspiring categories:

1. Outdoor & Adventure – Build sandcastles, climb a hill, plant a flower, go for a bike ride, or have a family picnic.

2. Creative & Imaginative – Make a cardboard fort, design your own superhero, write a mini story, or paint a rock for your garden.

3. Learning & Discovery – Visit the library, learn about a new animal, or try a simple science experiment at home.

4. Home & Family Fun – Bake cookies, play a board game night, camp in the lounge, or surprise a sibling with a handmade card.

5. Kindness & Life Skills – Donate toys you no longer need, help set the table, compliment a friend, or write a thank-you note to your teacher.

Every page helps children grow — emotionally, socially, and creatively — while teaching them valuable lessons about gratitude, giving, and joy.

How to Make the Book Even More Fun

Here are a few ideas to make your child’s bucket list journey extra special:

🌈 Create a Family Challenge:
Hang the book on the fridge or set a goal to complete one new activity every weekend. Watch as the pages fill up with colour and laughter over the months.

📸 Add Photos or Stickers:
Print a tiny photo of each completed activity or decorate the pages with stickers. It turns the book into a mini scrapbook of adventures.

🎨 Colour Together:
Set aside a “colouring afternoon” — bring out the pencils, put on some music, and colour the pages as a family. It’s not about staying in the lines; it’s about staying in the moment.

🌿 Bring It Outdoors:
Pack it in your picnic basket or take it on road trips. Every time your family does something spontaneous, you’ll have the perfect way to record it.

💌 Add Notes or Quotes:
Encourage your kids to write a short memory or favourite quote next to each activity. Years later, they’ll open the book and smile reading their 7-year-old handwriting saying, “Best day ever with Dad at the park!”

Why Every Child Needs This Book

In a world full of screens, this book helps children rediscover the beauty of real play. It invites them to connect with nature, bond with family, and develop empathy through acts of kindness. It’s not just about colouring — it’s about living colourfully.

Parents often look for meaningful ways to spend time with their children. This book gives them exactly that — 100 simple reasons to make memories. From rainy-day crafts to sunny park picnics, it gently reminds families that happiness doesn’t come from expensive toys or trips; it comes from togetherness.

A Legacy of Kindness and Creativity

There’s something truly heartwarming about a child author sharing her dream with the world. Skye wanted to create a book where other kids could “colour their goals” and celebrate small moments — the kind she’s loved since she was four. With the help of her mum, she’s turned that dream into a movement — one that celebrates imagination, family time, and giving back.

When you buy this book, you’re not only inspiring your child to explore the world — you’re also feeding a Kiwi family in need. It’s a gift that gives twice: one of love and one of hope.
