43 Spring Coloring Pages (Free PDF Downloads)

By Zen Vibes Editors · Published · Updated

When the weather keeps changing by the hour, spring pages are easy to put on the table. This set starts with the simplest signs of the season, a pair of rain boots in a puddle, a tulip in a pot, and a chick in the grass for little hands that want big open spaces to color.

From there it moves into the parts of spring kids actually notice outside, a robin on a fence, a branch with new buds, and a bird nest with eggs tucked inside. There are also pages with a bit more going on, like an umbrella in spring rain, a watering can with seedlings, and planting seeds in the garden. Older kids, and grown-ups who want a longer sit, can settle into the spring garden scene or a picnic under a blossom tree.

One thing this set does better than winter is show the season in motion. It feels wet, green, busy, and just starting up.

How to print these pages

  1. Pick the paper size that matches what is in your printer: US Letter or A4.
  2. Open the PDF and choose Print. Set scale to 100 percent or “actual size” (not “fit to page”).
  3. Plain copy paper works for crayons and pencils. Use heavier cardstock for markers or paint.

Print at actual size on plain paper. The bigger garden and picnic scenes suit colored pencils or fine crayons nicely.

Start with the weather

If a child wants something quick, the rain and sky pages are a good place to begin. Rain Boots and a Puddle, Sun and a Cloud, and Rainbow after the Rain all make sense on those in-between days when it is bright one minute and drizzly the next.

Baby animals and growing things

A lot of spring, for kids, is spotting the small stuff first. The duckling family by the pond, the lamb and its mother, and the page with baby birds being fed all fit that mood. On the plant side, the seedlings, the potted tulip, and the seed-planting scene work well for a classroom table when everyone is talking about gardens.

Our favorite for a longer coloring session

Our favorite is Picnic Under a Blossom Tree. It has that calm spring feeling without getting fussy, and there is enough in the scene to keep an older child or adult busy for a while.

Ideas for using these pages

  • Use the garden pages while planting real seeds, then let kids tape their finished pictures near the windowsill to watch both grow.
  • Color the rain boots, umbrella, rainbow, and sun pages in order to make a simple spring weather wall for home or class.
