Explore the Vibrant World of Venice Beach with Colorful Children’s Books
Share
Venice Beach, California is one of those places that feels like a storybook already—palm trees swaying over the boardwalk, skaters flying through the air, murals splashed across every wall, and the Pacific stretching out forever. It’s loud and bright and a little bit wild—in the best way.
As parents and caregivers, we’re always looking for ways to share that magic with our kids. That’s exactly why we created the Venice Beach Coloring Book at Local Color Shop: a neighborhood-inspired children’s coloring book that lets kids explore Venice from home, one page and one color at a time.
Coloring books are more than just a quiet-time activity. They help kids:
- Express creativity
- Build fine motor skills
- Develop focus and patience
- Feel more connected to the places they live in—or visit
With the Venice Beach Coloring Book, kids get to discover the sights, characters, and landmarks that make this neighborhood unforgettable.
Below is a look inside the world they’ll color.
1. The Venice Sign & Ocean Front Walk
The iconic Venice Sign welcomes kids into the neighborhood just like it welcomes visitors in real life. In the book, children can color:
- The glowing letters strung across the street
- The busy Ocean Front Walk, filled with shops, artists, and people from everywhere
As they bring these scenes to life, kids start to recognize Venice’s most famous entry point—and can imagine what it’s like to stand there under the sign at sunset.
2. Venice Beach Skatepark & Muscle Beach
Few places say “Venice” like the skatepark and Muscle Beach.
In these pages, kids can:
- Color skateboarders mid-air over bowls and ramps
- Add bold colors to workout gear and weights at Muscle Beach
- Fill in palm trees, railings, and the crowd gathered to watch
These scenes spark imagination and movement—perfect for kids who love action, sports, and a little bit of daring.
3. Venice Canals & Charming Neighborhood Homes
Just a short walk from the boardwalk, the Venice Canals feel like stepping into another world.
The coloring book invites kids to:
- Shade in calm water reflecting tiny bridges and houses
- Color rowboats, balconies, and gardens tucked along the canal
- Notice the quieter side of Venice—where ducks drift and plants spill over fences
These pages encourage kids to slow down and pay attention to small details, building observational skills along with their art.
4. Abbot Kinney Boulevard: Shops, Treats & Boutiques
Abbot Kinney Boulevard is Venice’s stylish, creative main street—packed with shops, cafés, and street art.
In this section, kids can:
- Color storefronts with bold signage and big windows
- Add their favorite pretend flavors to an ice cream or candy shop
- Imagine what’s inside each boutique and restaurant they color
These illustrations help kids make sense of how a neighborhood “main street” works—and how many different kinds of people and businesses it holds.
5. The Venice Pier & Beachfront Fun
The Venice Pier is where the land stretches out into the ocean and the views seem endless.
Kids can color:
- Fishermen along the railings
- Waves crashing below the pier
- People strolling, bird-watching, or just soaking up the sun
The scenes here are perfect for talking about tides, weather, and oceans—or simply reliving a favorite family walk.
6. Street Art, Murals & Palm-Lined Paths
Venice Beach is known for its murals and street art, and the coloring book celebrates that energy.
These pages include:
- Large mural walls kids can fill with bold, imaginative colors
- Palm-lined bike paths curving along the sand
- Graffiti-style lettering and abstract designs ripe for experimentation
As they color, kids learn that art doesn’t just live in museums—it lives on neighborhood walls, too.
7. Cafés, Taco Stands & Boardwalk Bites
The food scene in Venice is a big part of its personality—from taco stands to juice bars to beachfront cafés.
In the book, children can:
- Color tiny tables, umbrellas, and chalkboard menus
- Bring to life a taco stand, pizza slice window, or smoothie bar
- Imagine which foods they’d try in each place
It’s a playful way to talk about local businesses, eating together, and the mix of cultures that shape a neighborhood’s flavor.
