About these easy coloring pages

Every page here is built around one main figure with a thick, even outline and wide open spaces, usually with no background at all. Animals make up most of the set: sitting and sleeping cats, puppies with balls and bowls, round-faced axolotls, crocodiles, baby dinosaurs hatching from eggs, foxes, parrots, owls, horses and little dragons. Princesses and mermaids appear in simple poses, holding a flower, a shell or a balloon. A separate run of single objects suits the youngest children: a birthday cake with candles, a party hat, a wrapped present, a maple leaf, acorns with faces, a witch hat and a pumpkin candy bucket. Where a prop is added, it is one large shape such as a cushion, basket, umbrella or heart balloon, so a child never has to color around crowded details. The baby dragons decorated with petal, star or swirl motifs on their wings sit at the top of this level; those small decorations give an older preschooler something extra to fill without making the page busy. Big spaces mean chunky crayons, washable markers and even finger paint stay inside the lines more easily.

Coloring tips

  • Give toddlers chunky crayons or washable markers; the wide spaces here are sized for a whole-fist grip, not a sharp pencil.
  • Let a young child pick one color per big shape. Filling a whole cat or balloon in a single color is the real goal at this level, not shading.
  • Show children how to trace just inside the thick outline first and then fill the middle; the heavy line works like a bumper.
  • When a page has no background, invite kids to draw their own grass, sky or floor around the figure once the main shape is done.
  • For a two- or three-year-old, one object such as the cake or the maple leaf is enough for a sitting; save the animals with props for later.

What you will find

Single objects for first colorers

One cake, hat, leaf or flower in the middle of the page and nothing else, for toddlers who are still learning to hold a crayon.

  • A birthday cake with three large candles.
  • A simple birthday party hat.
  • A maple leaf with broad, simple veins.
  • A simple pointed witch hat.
  • Two acorns with simple caps.
  • A large sunflower with broad petals.

Sleeping and curled-up animals

Rounded bodies tucked into one big shape finish quickly and make a calm page before bed.

  • A cat sleeps curled up with its tail beside its face.
  • A sleeping fox curled up.
  • A sleeping crocodile with its tail curled.
  • A sleeping unicorn curled up on a cushion.
  • A little dragon sleeps in a curl with its head resting near its tail.
  • A sleeping axolotl curled up.

Animals with one big prop

A balloon, umbrella, shell, box, sun hat or bucket adds a second shape to color in its own color, the next small step after a lone figure.

  • A fox holding a heart-shaped balloon.
  • A puppy under a plain umbrella.
  • An axolotl peeking out of a rounded shell.
  • A cat peeks over the edge of an open cardboard box.
  • A crocodile wearing a plain sun hat.
  • A horse stands beside a plain round water bucket.

Princesses and mermaids

Standing or seated figures whose gowns and tails are split into a few broad panels, so each part takes one color.

  • A princess holding a large flower.
  • A princess reading an open book.
  • A friendly mermaid in a plain tunic waves while sitting on a smooth rounded rock.
  • A friendly mermaid floats beside a large smiling starfish with her full tail visible.
  • A mermaid floats beneath a large crescent moon with her full tail visible.

Baby dragons with simple patterns

Dots, swirls, stars or petals on the wings and belly give children who find plain outlines too quick a little more to do.

  • A smiling young dragon faces forward with its wings open, decorated with simple circles and teardrop shapes.
  • A standing dragon raises one front paw and has bold mirrored swirl motifs on its wings and belly.
  • A seated dragon looks up at three large stars with matching star motifs on its wings.
  • A young dragon sits beside a large eight-petal flower with simple flower motifs on its wings.
