Letter I Coloring Pages

The letter is drawn properly

Every I on these pages is set from a real typeface and outlined exactly, not sketched. The capital I is a straight stem with a serif top and bottom, and the lowercase i keeps its dot — both drawn thick enough to colour inside.

Twelve things beginning with I

Ice cream, igloo, iguana, island, ice skate, inchworm, insect, iron, ivy, iceberg, instruments and invitation. Each is drawn large below the letter, so the sound and the shape are learned together. There is a thirteenth page setting all twelve out in a grid, and a doodle sheet of twenty small I things — with an ice cube, an icicle, an iris, an ibex and an ibis joining them.

Nothing arrives filled in

An igloo doorway is normally a black arch, an ice skate a black boot on a steel blade, a beetle a black shell and an iceberg a shape half in shadow. None of them are here — a penguin stands in the doorway so there is nothing dark to fill, the skate is white paper, and every facet of the iceberg is open above and below the water.

Which page to start with

The big uppercase I and the big lowercase i are the simplest — one huge shape each. The bubble letter and the sheet of mixed letters to hunt through come next. The patterned I, divided into bands of lattice, scallops and rings, will hold an older child or an adult.

Printing

Print at 100% scale rather than “fit to page”, and match the file to your paper — Letter or A4. The button at the top bundles all twenty into a single download.
