Letter M Coloring Pages

The letter is drawn properly

Every M on these pages is set from a real typeface and outlined exactly, not sketched. On a page whose job is to teach a child a letter, the shape has to be the right shape — two outer stems and a clean V between them, with a line thick enough to colour inside.

Twelve things beginning with M

Monkey, moon, mouse, mushroom, mountain, milk, mermaid, map, mask, mitten, motorcycle and muffin. 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 M things — with a magnet, a mug, a moth, a mailbox, a medal and a microphone joining them.

Nothing arrives filled in

A toadstool cap is normally solid red, a carnival mask two dark eye holes, a motorcycle two black tyres and a muffin a dark paper case full of chocolate chips. None of them are here — the cap's spots are open rings, the mask's eye openings are latticed so there is no dark hole, and every chip on the muffins is an outline waiting for a colour.

Which page to start with

The big uppercase M and the big lowercase m are the simplest — one huge shape each. The bubble letter and the sheet of mixed letters to hunt through come next. The patterned M, 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.
