31 Free Rainbow Coloring Pages to Print

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

A rainbow over a field of sunflowers, one arching across a winding river, a squirrel standing under another, and a mouse painting a rainbow of its own on a canvas. These are the drawings where the colors are already decided. A monster can be any color a child likes, but a rainbow has an order, and a five-year-old who has learned it will lay the bands down faster than the adult next to them.

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.

The printable rainbow coloring pages here are free in the plain sense. No account, no email address, no watermark across the arc. Every drawing is a 300 dpi PDF and prints on any paper size your printer takes, US Letter and A4 included, so the bands stay separated by a clean line instead of running together. The cute rainbow coloring pages, the ones with an animal underneath, are what the youngest reach for first.

What you will find on this page

A rainbow is the one drawing where a child cannot pick the wrong color, and that is most of why this page exists. Some sheets are the rainbow alone: arching between two clouds with the sun peeking through, over rolling hills, above a winding river, across a field of sunflowers.

The rest give it company. A squirrel standing in front of one. A mouse painting one on a canvas. Two deer sitting on clouds. A bear and a rabbit holding hands in a garden underneath. There is a treehouse with a rainbow for a bridge, hot air balloons floating above snowy mountains, and a castle with four towers under an arc.

Easy rainbow coloring pages for toddlers

Seven bands, two clouds, done. This is the sheet to give a three-year-old who has just worked out that crayons come in colors, and it is the one they will finish. The smiling sun and the happy clouds versions add a face, which is usually the part they color first.

Rainbows for learning colors

Because the bands are wide and separated by a clear line, this page doubles as a first lesson in order and naming. Print the plain arc, name each band as it is filled, and the sheet does more work than it looks. The flower coloring pages carry on the same idea with petals.

Busier scenes for older children

The landscape sheets have the most in them: the river valley, the field of bees and flowers, the crystals and gemstones scattered around the arc, the hot air balloons. If it is the sky that appeals, the summer coloring pages share the mood, and the unicorn coloring pages have one jumping a rainbow bridge.

What to do with them once they are colored

A colored rainbow taped inside a window is the best use of a sheet of paper in this whole collection, because the light comes through the crayon and the colors sit on the glass.

Cut the arc out and hang it from a thread above a cot and it turns slowly. And the plain rainbow, printed on the same day every month, makes an easy record of how a small child's coloring is changing, which is worth more in two years than it looks today.

Printing your rainbow coloring pages

Are these rainbow coloring pages free?

Yes, every one of them. Open the PDF and print. Nothing to create an account for, nothing written across the drawing, no limit on copies.

How many bands does each rainbow have?

Six or seven, drawn as separate closed strips. It is enough for the usual order without turning the arc into a set of hairlines a crayon cannot stay inside.

Which ones work for a toddler?

The plain arc with two clouds, the smiling sun above a rainbow, and the one with happy clouds and raindrops. Each is a handful of big shapes. The treehouse with the rainbow bridge and the castle with four towers are for someone who wants to be busy for a while.

Is there anything here besides the rainbow itself?

Plenty. Hot air balloons over snowy mountains, a boat on calm water, a bear and a rabbit holding hands, a baby elephant waving. The rainbow is often in the background rather than the subject.

What paper size should I print on?

Any size the printer takes. More settings in the print dialog lists them, US Letter at 8.5 by 11 inches and A4 at 210 by 297 millimeters included, and the arc is drawn at 300 dpi for the size you pick.

Can I print these for a group?

Yes. A class learning color order, a rainy morning at a childminder's, a craft table. Print as many as you need without checking with us. We only ask that the files are not resold.
