Spring Coloring Pages

Shake off winter with our free spring coloring pages. Color tulips pushing up through the soil, a robin's nest with three eggs, ducklings in a puddle, kites over a hill and a rainbow after the rain. They're a natural fit for March through May: science units on plants and weather, rainy-day recess and that first warm weekend when everyone wants to be in the garden.

What happens in spring

Spring begins at the spring equinox, around March 20, when day and night are close to equal. After that the days keep getting longer and the ground warms up. Bulbs that waited underground all winter send up shoots. Trees open their buds. Birds that flew south return and build nests, and many animals have their young so the babies can grow during the warm months. Frogs lay eggs in ponds, and the eggs hatch into tadpoles. All that rain helps too, since seeds need water and warmth to sprout.

Spring coloring pages for the classroom and garden

  • Plant life cycle: color a seed, a sprout, a bud and a flower, then put them in order.
  • Weather journal: add a sun, cloud or rain page to a chart each day in April.
  • Seed-starting labels: cut small flower drawings into plant markers and tape them to craft sticks.
  • Bird watch: color a robin or bluebird, then look for the real one outside.
  • Spring door display: cover a classroom door with colored kites and write a goal on each tail.
  • Showery day stack: keep a few pages by the back door for afternoons when rain cuts outdoor plans short.
