Free Printable Childrens Colouring Pages

Free printable children’s colouring pages are black-and-white line drawings to colour in by hand. Pick one of eight simple pictures, such as a sun, a rocket or a whale, print one big or four small ones on Letter or A4, and add a caption. The lines are thick and black.

The eight pictures

The set has sun, house, rocket, whale, flower, car, sailboat and robot. Each is a single bold outline with large spaces, drawn for this page, so a crayon or a thick marker fits inside the lines.

Worked example: four pictures on one sheet

Choose “Rocket” and “Four pictures”. The page fills with the rocket and the next three in the list: rocket, whale, flower and car. On Letter paper held upright each picture is about 92 mm square, so four fit with room to hold the sheet. On A4 each is about 89 mm square. Choosing “One big picture” instead gives a single drawing about 192 mm across on Letter and 186 mm on A4.

Print it so the lines stay sharp

1. Pick the picture and the layout, then check the preview.
2. Choose Letter or A4 to match the paper in your printer, and upright or on its side.
3. Press “Print this sheet”, and in the print window set the scale to 100% or “Actual size”, with margins set to none or default.
4. Use crayons or washable markers; thin copy paper lets heavy marker show through, so put a spare sheet underneath.

Frequently asked questions

Are these colouring pages free?

Yes. Print as many copies as you like, for home or for class.

Can I print on A4 paper?

Yes. Choose A4 under “Paper and color”. Letter 8.5 × 11 in is the other option, and both can be printed upright or on their side.

Why are the picture lines black when I pick teal or pink?

The ink colour only tints the frame and the title. The drawing itself is always black so the lines stay clear on any printer.

Can I put my child’s name on the page?

The name line is printed at the top for writing by hand. The caption box types a title under the picture when you print one big picture; the four-picture page has no caption.
