Food Coloring Pages
Twelve free food coloring pages — an ice cream cone, a cupcake, a slice of pizza, a donut, a birthday cake, sushi, and three detailed pages for adults.
Food is the subject where a child already knows what colour everything should be, which makes it the easiest set here to start with.

Download PDF A4 PNGThe set that needs no explaining
A dinosaur can be any colour. A slice of pizza cannot, and that turns out to be useful: a child who freezes at a blank page will fill in a cupcake without hesitating, because the decisions are already made. These four easy pages are the ones to print when someone needs a quick win.
Or ignore realism entirely
The opposite works too. A blue banana and a purple burger are the whole joke, and the large flat areas on the easy pages make the joke land. Nothing here punishes a child for colouring the wrong thing the wrong shade.
Sprinkles that are actually colourable
Sprinkles are normally printed as solid black specks, which is ink you cannot do anything with. Every sprinkle, seed and olive on these pages is drawn as a tiny outlined shape instead, so a fine pen or pencil can pick them out individually.
The three long ones
The patterned cupcakes, the dessert table and the fruit and vegetable basket are drawn for adults. The dessert table in particular has bunting, macarons, a teapot and tiered cakes packed edge to edge.
Printing
Print at 100% scale rather than “fit to page”, in Letter or A4 to match your paper.
