Science coloring pages for kids

Free printable science coloring pages for kids: the water cycle, solar system, life cycles, skeleton and more, each with a clip of it being drawn by hand.

Sixteen free science coloring pages for kids, from the water cycle to the skeletal system. Each one is a printable black-and-white PNG, 2400 pixels wide, that fits a Letter or A4 sheet. They are the line art of real drawings: next to every sheet is a link to the short clip of a hand drawing that same picture, so a class can watch it being drawn, then colour it in.

Open a sheet to print it at full size. “Watch it being drawn” plays the clip of the same picture, with its narration script.

How to use them in class

  1. 01

    Watch it being drawn

    Play the clip of the picture on the board. A hand draws the outlines first, then colours it in, so the class sees the parts appear one at a time.

  2. 02

    Print and colour

    Open the sheet and print it at “fit to page” on Letter or A4. The lines are pure black on white, so they copy cleanly on a school photocopier too.

  3. 03

    Name the parts

    The sheets have no labels on purpose: ask the class to write the names in, or to number the stages of a life cycle in order.
