36 Free Monster Coloring Pages to Print

36 free printables Any paper size 300 dpi No sign-up

Round, soft, and wrong in cheerful ways: three eyes, small horns, one arm longer than the other, a fringe where no fringe belongs. Nothing here is going to frighten anybody.

Click any drawing to print it. The sheet opens in a new tab and the print dialog does the rest, with every paper size your printer offers. Prefer a batch? Tap + on each drawing you want, then print the whole pile in one go from your pile.

Cute monsters are the most forgiving thing on the site to color, because there is no correct answer. A green monster is fine. A striped monster is fine. One pink eye and one yellow eye is fine, and children who have started worrying about getting things right tend to relax on this page.

Every drawing is a free printable PDF and prints at 300 dpi on any paper size your printer takes, US Letter and A4 included. No account, no watermark.

What you will find on this page

Not one of these monsters is trying to scare anybody. A one-eyed creature stands in front of a stone wall looking mildly put out. A fluffy thing juggles pumpkins in a fenced yard. A Frankenstein in goggles and a lab coat holds out a flower, and later a brain-shaped one. An octopus in a top hat dances in a graveyard. There is a blob reading a book against a wooden door.

A good number of them are dragons, which is worth knowing before you print: baby dragons in party hats outside a cave, one asleep on a pile of coins, one peeking out of a treasure chest, another on a castle tower with its chin in its hand.

Easy monster coloring pages for toddlers

The blob and fluff creatures are the friendliest shapes on the site. One rounded body, two eyes, a couple of horns and nothing else to get wrong. A three-year-old can color a monster any color they like and be right, which is not true of a dog or a pumpkin, and that freedom is half the appeal at that age.

Dragons and bigger creatures

If the dragons are what caught your eye, there is a whole page of them: the dragon coloring pages have hatchlings, hoards and one breathing fire. The dinosaur in a party hat here has relatives on the dinosaur coloring pages.

Monsters for Halloween

A fair share belong to October: the mummy trick-or-treating past a pyramid, the monster in a witch hat stirring a cauldron, the Frankenstein with a pumpkin lantern beside a gravestone, the furry one carving a pumpkin in a snowy cave. The halloween coloring pages and the pumpkin coloring pages carry on, and the witch coloring pages have more cauldrons.

What to do with them once they are colored

Cut out a monster, glue it to a lolly stick and it is a puppet, which is where the good afternoons come from. Two of them and a table edge makes a stage.

The one-eyed creatures also work as door signs: color one, write a name across its middle, and tape it at child height. And if you print the same blob monster four times, a child can give each one a different color scheme and you have a family, which they will name.

Printing your monster coloring pages

Are these monster coloring pages really free?

Yes. Every drawing downloads as a PDF with no account, no email address and no watermark across the artwork.

Why do children stay with these longer?

Because there is no correct answer. A dog has to end up looking like a dog, and a child who knows that will hesitate over a purple one. Nobody has ever seen a monster, so a purple one is right. Children who have started worrying about getting things wrong tend to relax on this page.

Are any of these frightening?

None. Three eyes, small horns, one arm longer than the other, a fringe where no fringe belongs. The Frankenstein one holds a flower. The dragons wear party hats.

What paper size should I print on?

Any of them. Open More settings in the print dialog and pick. A monster is one of the few things that genuinely improves at tabloid size.

Are these good for a reluctant colorer?

They are the page to try first. The shapes are large and closed, the outlines heavy, and a sheet gets finished rather than abandoned. Creature design also works as a writing prompt once the coloring is done.

Can I print a set for a classroom?

Yes. A class, a daycare group, a library session or a rainy afternoon. Print as many as you need without asking. Reselling the files is the only thing off limits.
