How to Download and Print Your Coloring Pages

All of our coloring pages are high-quality, black-and-white PDFs made to be printed and colored the good old-fashioned way; with crayons, markers, colored pencils, or whatever your kids love most. No apps, no tablets, no fancy tools needed, just print and let the fun begin!

Here's how it works:

• Click on the coloring page you want.
• A new tab will open with the PDF file.
• From there, you can either save it to your computer or print it out right away.
• Grab some coloring supplies and you're all set!

Our pages are designed to be US letter size (8.5" x 11"), so they’ll print easily on standard paper.

Please note: These coloring pages are for personal use only. That means you can print them for your kids, your classroom, or a party but they’re not for resale or commercial use.
