Love Coloring Pages

These free love coloring pages are for telling someone they matter. Color big I love you lettering for a parent, a hug between a grandparent and a grandchild, a pair of swans or a note with a blank line for a name. They aren't tied to any holiday, so they work for birthdays, anniversaries, get-well cards, a lunchbox surprise or an ordinary Tuesday.

  • Anniversary or birthday card: fold the page in half and add your own message inside.

  • Thank a helper: give one to a babysitter, coach, nurse or neighbor.

Love coloring pages and talking about feelings

Coloring gives kids something to do with their hands while they talk, which makes big subjects easier. Try asking who they'd like to give the page to and why. The I love you because pages work well for this. Children often write things adults don't expect, like because you make pancakes or because you fix my bike. The animal pages are good conversation starters too. Sea otters really do hold paws while they sleep so they don't drift apart, and swans often stay with the same partner for years.
