Got a Moody Teen? Give Them a Coloring Book That Gets It – Meet Grouchy Noodles

Because teens need more than TikTok and eye rolls.

If you’ve got a teenager (or are one), you already know: sometimes the vibe is "ugh". Enter Grouchy Noodles, the hilariously expressive coloring book that speaks fluent teen—grumpy moods, weird humor, and all.

Whether it’s to unplug from screens, chill out after school, or simply have something funny and low-pressure to do, this coloring book is exactly the creative outlet teens need right now.
Why Teens (and Parents) Will Love It. It’s got attitude. These aren’t your average butterflies and mandalas. Grouchy Noodles is full of sassy, moody, and downright relatable pasta characters. Think doodles that match the teenage mindset—funny, weird, a little sarcastic, and 100% entertaining.
Low-stress creativity. No tiny patterns or stressful “stay-in-the-lines” stuff here. Just bold, simple illustrations that are fun to fill in with markers, colored pencils, or even highlighters. It’s perfect for teens who want something creative but chill.
Built-in screen-free time (without nagging). Parents—want to gently encourage downtime that isn’t glued to a phone? This book gives teens a reason to set down their devices without feeling like homework. It’s artsy. It’s silly. It’s theirs.
