About these Easter coloring pages
Easter coloring pages are a springtime favorite: decorated eggs, fluffy bunnies, baby chicks, baskets full of treats and fields of spring flowers. Our free Easter pages include simple eggs and bunnies for toddlers, egg-hunt scenes for school-age kids and detailed patterned eggs that adults enjoy as much as children.
Print them on US Letter or A4 paper for the Easter holidays, a classroom party or a family brunch, or color them online with a tap. Colored eggs cut out of the pages make an easy Easter garland or decorations for the table.
Decorate your own Easter eggs on paper
Coloring an Easter egg on paper is like decorating a real one, without the dye on the kitchen table. Kids can try stripes, zigzags, dots and flowers, then pick their favorite design to try on real eggs.
Patterned egg pages are also great for learning: repeating a pattern of colors (red, blue, red, blue) is an early math skill.

- The Easter bunny: a tradition from Germany, where the hare brings the eggs
- Chicks and lambs: baby animals born in spring
