Coloring pages starring the characters kids love
Character coloring pages are the ones kids ask for by name. Each ColorTheDay character collection is a set of original designs, most of them inspired by a favorite cartoon, with a PDF for every page and one PDF that holds the whole set.
We draw our own characters for these sets. They capture the cute, round, friendly look kids love, but they are not copies of anyone’s artwork, so every page is safe to print at home, in class or for a party.

Ways to use character coloring pages
Birthday parties. Put a page and a cup of crayons at each seat. Kids color while guests arrive, and the finished pages go home in the party bags.
Make-your-own coloring book. Print the full set, add a cover the child designs, and staple it. It makes a thoughtful small gift for a fan.
Story time. Ask kids to tell you what the character on their page is doing and where it is going next. It’s an easy way to practice speaking and sequencing.
Calm corners. Character pages are a favorite quiet activity after school or for early finishers in class. The familiar, friendly look helps kids settle in.
Tips for printing character coloring pages
- Print the whole set at once with the “Download all” PDF on each collection page.
- Choose “Fit to page.” Our PDFs are US Letter and also print well on A4.
- Use black-and-white printing. The pages are pure line art.
- Try heavier paper for markers, or light cardstock if the pages will become cards or decorations.
