Monster Coloring Pages

Monster coloring pages on three sheets of paper, with a child coloring a cute three-eyed monster in purple and green

These monster coloring pages are full of friendly creatures living ordinary lives — brushing their teeth, baking birthday cakes, playing guitar and peering through telescopes at night. Every design is a complete little scene, not just a monster on a blank page, so kids get a story to color and talk about.

All 25 pages are free. Print any of them as a PDF in US Letter or A4, or color them online without printing anything. You’ll find easy outlines for toddlers, medium scenes for early readers and detailed pages for older kids who like a challenge.

Need Color Ideas?

There’s no wrong color for a monster. Purple fur, green teeth and rainbow horns all work. If you’re stuck, pick two colors that go together for the body and one bright color for the eyes or horns.

How to Print Monster Coloring Pages

  1. Click Download PDF under any design, or grab all 25 at once with the button at the top.
  2. In the print window, choose your paper size (Letter or A4) and select “Fit to page”.
  3. Plain printer paper is fine for crayons and colored pencils. For markers, use cardstock so the ink doesn’t bleed through.
  4. Black-and-white or grayscale printing is all you need — the pages are pure line art.

No printer? Tap Color Online under any design and color it on your screen instead.

Coloring Tips for Monsters

  • Fur: use short pencil strokes in two shades of the same color.
  • Scales: alternate two colors on the dragon monsters’ scales for a patterned look.
  • Eyes: leave a tiny white dot in each pupil so the eyes look shiny.
  • Night scenes: color the sky dark blue and leave the stars white or pale yellow.
  • Backgrounds: color the monster first, then the scene, so the character stands out.
