Why Coloring Is Great for You

Children practice planning when they choose which colors to use and where. Adults benefit from the meditative rhythm of repetitive hand movements and focused attention.
How to Download and Print
Getting started is simple. Browse the gallery below, click or tap any image to see it full-size in our viewer, then hit the download button to save the PDF. Open the file in any PDF reader and print on standard 8.5 by 11 inch paper. For the best results, use a heavier weight paper like 24-pound or cardstock, which prevents marker bleed and gives colored pencils a smoother surface.
Creative Ideas for These Pages
Make the most of every Shape coloring sheet. Younger children can practice counting the shapes or objects in each scene. Older colorists can challenge themselves to use only warm or cool tones. Turn completed pages into bookmarks, folder covers, or thank-you notes. There is no wrong way to use them.
