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.

How to use them in class
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
