Toy Story Coloring Pages (Free Printable PDFs)

What’s in this Toy Story coloring collection

You get 25 original Toy Story coloring pages, sorted from easiest to most detailed: 9 Easy, 9 Medium and 7 Detailed. The cast is mine: a cowboy doll, a space ranger toy, a cowgirl doll, a plush pony, a toy dinosaur, a piggy bank, a spring dog, little alien toys and a few friends from the later films.

Hi, I’m Niks. Kids never ask me for “a toy page.” They ask for the cowboy, or the space guy, or “the one with the braid.” Then their big sister wants the carnival from the fourth movie. So I sorted this set two ways, by character and by film. Every page is its own PDF, and the whole set downloads as one file.

Who’s who in these Toy Story coloring pages

Each toy is an original design that nods to one Toy Story favorite. Find your kid’s character, and you know what to print.

Which Toy Story movie is each page from?

Most scene pages nod to one film, so you can print Toy Story coloring pages for whichever movie your family watched last. The settings are my own drawings, not stills, but a fan will spot the moment.

Our favorite Toy Story coloring pages

Cowboy Doll Tipping His Hat

A chubby cowboy doll in a wide hat, a plaid shirt, a vest with star patches and a bandana tips his hat on a patch of grass. All that plaid makes it the busiest Easy page, at 67 spaces. My pick for a four-year-old Woody fan.

Toy Stunt Rider Jumping a Ramp

A stunt rider in a helmet, goggles and a short cape flies a toy motorcycle over a wooden ramp and five building blocks, with bunting and clouds overhead. Medium, 69 spaces, lots of speed.

Porcelain Shepherd Doll with a Lamb

A doll in a bonnet and a polka dot ruffled dress holds a shepherd’s crook beside a fluffy lamb. Those polka dots make it a slow, calm page (66 spaces).

Daycare Playroom Full of Toys

A teddy bear holding a strawberry, a toy dinosaur, a spring dog, alien toys, stacking rings, a play tent and cubby shelves with baskets. Toy Story 3 fans will know exactly whose daycare this is. 141 spaces.

Carnival Prize Booth

A striped awning hung with plush bears and bunnies, a ring toss with bottles, a cowgirl doll leaning on the counter and a ferris wheel behind. At 198 spaces it’s the biggest page here, and the one I’d hand a teen.

Which Toy Story coloring page is right for your child?

Go by age first, then by favorite character. Easy pages run from 20 to 67 spaces, Medium from 56 to 96 and Detailed from 66 to 198.

Woody, Buzz and Jessie coloring pages in this set

Want Woody? The cowboy doll has two Toy Story coloring pages of his own, and he turns up in the moving box, the tablet page, the antique shop and the group portrait. The cowgirl has her braid and lasso pages, and she drives the camper van. The space ranger gets Ready for Takeoff (37 spaces) and Floating in Space (59), and he sits on the bed in the cloud bedroom wearing a cowboy hat. I like to think he borrowed it.

Two tricks. Color the plaid shirt in two shades of one color, darker for the stripes, lighter for the squares, and it suddenly looks like fabric. And leave the bubble helmet mostly white, with light blue just inside the rim. It’s see-through, after all.

How to color Toy Story pages: 5 tips

1. Use toy box colors

Red, yellow, blue and a bright green look like real plastic toys. Pastels look like plush, so save soft browns and pinks for the pony and the teddy bears.

2. Give the cowboy and cowgirl some leather

Boots look like leather with a second, darker brown at the toes and heels. Make the vest stars yellow so they pop.

3. Keep space blue, not black

On the floating space ranger page, use deep blue and purple for the sky. Black swallows the stars and the planet rings.

4. Plan the big scenes

On Detailed pages, color the toys first, then walls and floors, then the tiny things. In the cloud bedroom, make the wall pale blue and leave the clouds white.

5. Match the tool to the child

Chunky crayons for Easy pages and little hands. Colored pencils for the antique shop and the carnival, where spaces get tiny. Markers for bright Medium pages, on heavier paper.

Toy Story facts to share while you color

A few true things to toss into the conversation:

1. Toy Story (1995) was the first feature film made entirely with computer animation.
2. Tom Hanks voices Woody, and Tim Allen voices Buzz Lightyear.
3. Jessie and Bullseye first appear in Toy Story 2, in 1999.
4. Toy Story 3 was the first animated film to earn more than $1 billion at the worldwide box office.
5. Toy Story 3 and Toy Story 4 both won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.
6. Mr. Potato Head was a real toy long before the films: it first went on sale in 1952.

Toy Story classroom and party ideas

The first stack I printed went to a friend’s son for his Toy Story birthday. He made every guest color “their” toy before cake, and nobody argued. At a six-year-old’s party. Here’s what works:

• Movie sorting. Shuffle the pages and let kids sort them by film with the movie table, then explain their picks.
• Vocabulary hunt. Find and label the lasso, parachute, awning, porthole, crook and bunting.
• Counting. Five blocks under the stunt ramp, three toy soldiers, two horseshoes, four alien toys in the group portrait. Total: fourteen.
• Story sequence. Line up Toy Friends Packed in a Moving Box, Toy Road Trip in a Camper Van, Carnival Prize Booth and Antique Shop Toy Shelves, then tell one big toy adventure.
• Party favor books. Print the all-pages PDF (or just the 9 Easy pages for little ones), add a cover and staple it.

Teachers, our free classroom license covers what you can print.

Printing tips for the best results

• Make a coloring book. The all-pages PDF is sorted by level: pages 1 to 9 are Easy, 10 to 18 Medium, 19 to 25 Detailed.
• Print in black and white with “Fit to page.” It’s pure line art.
• Use heavier paper for markers. Light cardstock or 28 lb paper stops bright reds and blues from bleeding through.

How I made and checked these pages

These Toy Story coloring pages are original ColorTheDay designs, not copies of Pixar’s artwork. I check every page before it goes live. Outlines have to be bold and closed, Easy pages have to work for a three-year-old, and every title has to match what’s drawn. The difficulty ratings, the who’s-who matches and the movie sorting are my own calls, and the “spaces to color” numbers are counted from each page, not guessed.
