About This Project

A 10–20 minutes craft for ages 3–10, using supplies you likely already have — Markers, Crayons, and Printer.

GlueStick supports kids from setup to cleanup. After they choose a project, we guide them through gathering the supplies, making it, and cleaning up when they're done. We'll even help them share it safely with trusted family and friends.

Ad-free and kid-safe library — designed by a mom who wants kids to explore and create independently.

    Make Free Printable Summer Coloring Pages

    "Let's stick together and make this one!"

    Step 1: Get Your Summer Coloring Pages

    May need grown-up help
    Ask an adult to help you print out the summer coloring pages. You will need paper for this step.

    Step 2: Start Coloring

    Use your crayons or markers to color the pictures. You can use any colors you like!

    Step 3: Add Fun Textures (Optional)

    If you want, you can glue small pieces of tissue paper, washi tape, or cotton balls onto your coloring page to make it bumpy and interesting.

    Step 4: Make Raised Lines (Optional)

    If you want to make it easier to stay inside the lines, ask an adult to help you put a thin line of glue around the main parts of the picture. Let the glue dry all night until it's hard. Then, you can feel the lines as you color!

    Step 5: Try New Coloring Spots (Optional)

    Tape your coloring page to a wall or under a table. Coloring in these new spots can be a fun challenge!
