Easter Coloring Pages

Our free Easter coloring pages mix the playful side of the holiday with the meaningful one. Color a basket loaded with patterned eggs, chicks hatching, a bunny hiding behind a tulip or kids racing across the lawn on an egg hunt. For families and Sunday schools there are also simple, respectful pages showing a cross with lilies, an empty tomb at sunrise and a church in spring.

What Easter is and when it falls

Easter is the most important holiday in the Christian calendar. It celebrates the resurrection of Jesus, which the Bible places on the third day after his crucifixion. Easter doesn't have a fixed date. In most Western churches it falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon of spring, which puts it somewhere between March 22 and April 25. Eggs, chicks and rabbits became part of the celebration as old symbols of new life. Many families dye eggs, fill baskets and hold an egg hunt, whether or not they go to church.

Easter coloring pages for home, school and church

  • Egg hunt clues: color small egg pages, write a clue on the back of each and hide them around the house.
  • Basket tags: cut out a colored bunny or chick and tie it to each child's basket with their name.
  • Table decorations: fold egg and lily pages into place cards for Easter lunch.
  • Sunday school: pair the faith pages with the Easter story from the Gospels.
  • Spring window: tape cut-out eggs and tulips along a window ledge.
