Free Coloring Pages: 5-Page Book Samples & a 12-Page PDF

Try five free pages from a book that catches your eye, or start with our 12-page mixed sampler. The sampler contains two pages from each of six books; the book-by-book library below currently offers PDFs with five coloring pages from each of 25 books. Both options are free, with no email or sign-up.

Each page in the 12-page sampler is credited at the foot of the sheet, so if one of them is your favourite you can find the book it came from.

Printing these pages

The 12-page sampler is a standard US Letter PDF and prints on a normal home printer. Plain copy paper is fine for crayons and pencils. If you plan to use markers, print one-sided and slip a spare sheet behind the page you are working on, because most markers bleed through ordinary paper.

Choose Actual size or 100% rather than Fit to page when you print, and pick portrait. These are black-and-white line drawings, so there is no need to print in colour. If a border comes out clipped, switch to Fit — many home printers cannot print all the way to the edge of the sheet.

Our full guide to printing coloring pages covers paper weights, marker bleed, faint lines, and phone printing in more detail.

What you can do with them

Print as many copies as you like for your own family, or for a classroom or reading group. You do not need to ask us first.

Please do not resell the pages or pass the file itself around — send people to this page instead, so they always get the current version. The same terms as the rest of our catalogue apply; see licensing for the full wording.
