What’s inside this free animal coloring pack

This collection covers the animals kids love most: a playful kitten with a ball of yarn, a happy puppy, a friendly lion cub, a baby elephant splashing water, a tall giraffe munching leaves, a cheeky monkey with a banana, a wise owl under the moon, a beautiful butterfly over flowers, a tropical fish, a dolphin jumping the waves, a sea turtle, a fluffy bunny with a carrot, a clever fox among mushrooms, a honey bear with his bees, a bamboo-munching panda, a happy horse in a meadow, a striped tiger cub, a penguin on the ice, a frog on a lily pad, a little hedgehog with an apple, a sleepy koala, a smiling sloth, a gentle fawn in the flowers, and a curious raccoon with an acorn. Line weights are kept medium and even, with big open areas that are easy for small hands to color inside.

How to print these animal coloring pages

Tap the PDF button under any design for a ready-to-print 8.5×11 page with built-in margins — just open it and print at 100% scale. Prefer more control? Grab the PNG instead: each one is a true 300 DPI file (2550×3300 pixels), perfect for resizing, printing several to a sheet, or importing into a digital coloring or drawing app on a tablet. Regular printer paper works great with crayons and colored pencils; switch to cardstock if your kids love markers.
