36 Free Summer Coloring Pages to Print

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

A bear in sunglasses who has clearly given up on the day, a mouse on a diving board thinking better of it, a squirrel surfing, and a deer floating past on a slice of watermelon. Summer here is the version children actually experience: beaches, picnics, ice cream, sprinklers and a marshmallow held slightly too close to the fire.

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.

These printable summer coloring pages are what a rainy July afternoon is for, and they are free. Every drawing is a 300 dpi PDF and prints on any paper size your printer takes, US Letter and A4 included. No account, no email address, no watermark across the sandcastle. Print one, or print a stack of summer coloring sheets for the car, the campsite or the last week of term.

What you will find on this page

Summer here is animals on holiday. A bear in sunglasses lounging in a hammock with a drink. A raccoon in a Hawaiian shirt holding a pineapple. A squirrel surfing a wave in a swimsuit. A duck in goggles floating on a doughnut ring. A fox reading under a beach umbrella while a crab smiles at him.

Four different animals are building sandcastles, which tells you what this collection is mostly about. The rest is picnics and ponds: a basket on a checkered blanket among the sunflowers, a mouse on a diving board, a squirrel rowing past the cattails, a mother duck with three ducklings, a fox roasting a marshmallow under a crescent moon.

Easy summer coloring pages for toddlers

The single objects are the ones to start with. A slice of watermelon on a blanket. An ice cream cone. A picnic basket. Three or four shapes each, and every one of them is something a small child recognizes instantly, which matters more at that age than the drawing itself.

Beach and water scenes for older children

The busier sheets have waves, seashells, starfish, palm fronds and a lighthouse in the distance. The sandcastle drawings have turrets and windows to fill one at a time. If the water is the appeal, the capybara coloring pages have ponds and lily pads, and the rainbow coloring pages share the open sky.

Gardens and long evenings

Several sheets sit away from the beach: a hedgehog watering flowers with ladybugs around, a mouse tending a garden, a raccoon with a butterfly net, two owls in a treehouse. These are the quieter end of the page, and the flower coloring pages carry them further.

What to do with them once they are colored

Print a stack before a long drive and hand them over one at a time. A coloring page has the enormous advantage of needing no screen, no signal and no battery, and this is the collection children actually want in July.

The picnic sheets work as place mats outdoors, held down by a plate. And a colored ice cream cone, cut out and taped to a jar of real lollies, turns the jar into a shop for an afternoon.

Printing your summer coloring pages

Are these summer coloring pages free?

Yes. Open the PDF, print it, hand over the crayons. Nothing asks for an account or an email address.

What is on this page?

Beach scenes, picnics, ice cream and watermelon, swimming and surfing, a treehouse, a butterfly net, and a great many animals wearing sunglasses. Nothing here requires an explanation, which is the point.

Are these good for toddlers?

Several are among the simplest on the site. A watermelon slice, a picnic basket, a single animal in a hat: large closed shapes, thick outlines, done in ten minutes. The beach scenes and the treehouse have more going on.

Do they work for a summer camp or a road trip?

That is what they get printed for most. Print a stack before you leave, since a PDF on a laptop is no use at a campsite. Printing them for a camp, a class or a library session is fine and you do not need to ask.

What paper size should I print on?

Whatever is in the tray. The full list sits under More settings in the print dialog, US Letter and A4 among them, and every size comes out at 300 dpi.

What else works in the same week?

The flower and leaf pages sit in the same register without the beach, and the fall collection picks up where this one leaves off in September.
