Printable Spring Coloring Pages for Kids and Preschoolers

Three large tulips rise from a round flower pot, each bloom made of smooth overlapping petals above long, pointed leaves. A row of small five-petal flowers circles the bottom of the pot. The shapes are big and the lines are thick, so it is an easy page for ages 3 to 6 and a quick warm-up for older kids. Try red, pink and yellow for the three tulips, green leaves in two shades, and a terracotta orange for the pot. The small flowers at the base are a good place to practice coloring inside a tiny shape. Tulips bloom in early spring in many gardens.

A round nest made of crisscrossing twigs and grass sits on a short branch, with four smooth eggs resting inside. A few pointed leaves grow from the branch on both sides. The twig lines give kids many small areas to color, and the eggs are big and plain, so they can pick any color they like. Robins lay pale blue eggs, so blue is a natural choice, while a speckled brown pattern suits other birds. Color the nest in layers of brown and tan to show the woven straw, then add green to the leaves. It works well beside a spring lesson on birds.

A round-faced bunny sits upright in the middle of a spring meadow, its long ears standing tall and its front paws tucked in. Daisies, tulips and blades of grass fill the ground around it. There is no basket or Easter egg here, so the page suits any spring week. Kids can color the bunny gray, brown or white with pink inside the ears, then give every daisy a different center and petal color. The many small flowers make a good page for pencils or fine markers, and the bunny itself is large enough for a chunky crayon. Try layering green for the grass and a second green for the leaves.

A pair of tall rain boots stands next to an open umbrella at the edge of a wide puddle. Raindrops fall around the umbrella and three small flowers grow beside the boots. The umbrella is divided into panels, so each section can be a different color, and the boots have stripes along the sole and a cuff at the top. Blue and gray work for the puddle and raindrops, while bright yellow or red boots show up well against them. Kids can add ripples inside the puddle with a few wavy lines. It is a good choice for a rainy spring afternoon and an easy page for ages 4 to 7.

A smiling child kneels in the garden and presses a seed into the soil. A watering can sits beside them, and small green sprouts are already coming up in the dirt. Pebbles and small clumps of earth dot the ground. Kids can color the shirt and pants in any bright colors, the soil in warm browns, and the sprouts in light green. The watering can looks good in blue or metallic gray. It pairs well with a real seed-planting activity, such as sprouting beans in a cup, and gives kids a chance to color a person doing something they can try at home.

A large butterfly with patterned wings hovers above three big daisies growing on tall stems with wide leaves. Each wing is divided into several sections, which makes it easy to color the butterfly in a stained-glass style with a different color in every section. The daisies have simple round centers and long petals, so they suit white, yellow or pink. Try two matching colors on the upper and lower wings so the pattern looks even on both sides. Green stems and leaves finish the scene. It is a medium page with enough open space for crayons and enough small shapes to keep older kids busy for a while.

A fluffy lamb stands in a green meadow and looks toward the viewer, with small flowers and blades of grass around its legs. The wool is drawn as soft, rounded curls, so the body is full of little cloud shapes to color. Cream, light gray or pale yellow work well for the wool, with pink inside the ear and a darker color for the face and legs. Spring is lambing season on many farms, which makes this a natural page for a farm or animal unit. Use a light touch for the wool curls and a strong green for the grass so the lamb stands out from the meadow.

A ladybug walks across a wide leaf, its round shell marked with black dots and its tiny legs gripping the leaf veins. A twig with five small flowers curves beside it. The shell is a large closed shape, so it is a satisfying place for red or orange, and the dots can stay black or become another color. The leaf has veins that divide it into sections, so kids can shade it in two greens. Ladybugs are a common sight in spring gardens, where they feed on small insects that eat plants. It is a short, easy page that suits ages 3 to 7 and works well as a warm-up.

A boy and a girl stand side by side on a grassy hill and look up at a diamond kite on a long string, with a bow tied on the line. Two small clouds float in the sky, a round tree stands on the right, and tufts of grass dot the ground. The kite is split into four sections, so each one can be a different color, and the bow is a good spot for a bright accent. Windy spring days are good kite weather in many places. Kids can color the sky in blue, the grass in green and the tree in two greens or a mix of pink blossoms.

Two baby chicks sit in a straw nest beside a cracked eggshell, with small flowers growing between the straw. One chick peeks over the edge of its shell and the other looks up with its beak open. The nest is a ring of crisscrossing straw, which gives kids many thin shapes to color in yellow and tan. The chicks are plump and round, so they suit yellow or orange, with an orange beak and feet. The cracked egg can be white, brown or a pastel shade. Chicks hatch about 21 days after the eggs are laid, which makes this a fun page to print for a classroom egg unit.

A round robin perches on a cherry branch covered in five-petal blossoms, buds and pointed leaves. The bird has a rounded chest, a small beak and layered wing feathers. Pink and white suit the blossoms, while the robin can have an orange-red chest and a gray-brown back, as an American robin does. The branch can be dark brown, and a pale blue wash behind it makes the flowers stand out. The page has many small petals, so it fits colored pencils and fine markers, and it takes longer than the simpler spring pages. It is a good one for ages 7 and up who like detail.
