Table of Contents
These are the simplest pages on this site, and deliberately so. A baby is a round head, a round body and four short limbs — which is why baby coloring pages work for a two- or three-year-old who is still learning that the pencil goes inside the line. Fifty-two designs, almost all of them a single figure with nothing behind it.
The set follows a baby’s first year rather than repeating one pose. Lying down kicking its legs, holding its own feet, rolling onto its tummy with a book, crawling, pulling itself up on a table, standing and clapping. If you are printing these for an older sibling, that progression is worth pointing out.
The play designs make up the largest group — a rattle, stacking rings, nesting cups, building blocks, a shape puzzle, a toy drum, a xylophone, a toy car, a toy phone, a ball in four different pages, and a baby looking at itself in a mirror.
Feeding and everyday routine has its own run: a bottle, a sippy cup, a highchair, a bowl of cereal, a biscuit, a slice of watermelon, an apple, bath time, asleep in a pram, and a baby sucking its thumb.
Then the faces, which are the easiest of all — laughing, yawning, surprised, waving, pointing, clapping, blowing a raspberry. Round shapes with almost nothing inside them, and the right pages to hand a very young child first.
A few have something to hold rather than just be: a teddy, a blanket, a flower, a flag, and a baby watching a butterfly. Those are the ones that work as a card for a new arrival or a baby shower.
Every one of these baby coloring pages is free, prints on standard US letter paper, and needs no sign-up. Click any design below to open the full-size PDF.
What’s in This Collection
Faces and expressions
Laughing, yawning, surprised, waving, pointing, clapping, hands in the air and blowing a raspberry. Eight designs with the fewest lines on the whole site, and the right place to start a two-year-old.
Learning to move
Kicking legs, holding its own feet, on its tummy, crawling in four different designs, chasing a ball, pulling up on a table, and standing and clapping. Laid out roughly in the order a baby actually does them, which is somewhere between four months and a year.
Playing
A rattle, stacking rings, nesting cups, building blocks, a shape puzzle, a drum, a xylophone, a toy car, a toy phone and a mirror. Ten designs, and the toys drawn are the ones babies genuinely get given.
Feeding and routine
A bottle, a sippy cup, a highchair, cereal, a biscuit, watermelon, an apple, bath time, a pram and thumb sucking. The everyday half of a first year rather than the milestone half.
Comfort things
A teddy, a blanket, a dummy, asleep with a teddy, and simply sleeping. Five designs, and the quietest pages in the set.
Reaching out
Holding a grown-up’s hand, holding a flower, waving a flag and watching a butterfly. Small moments, and the ones that work best if the page is going to be given to somebody.
For an older child there are boy coloring pages and girl coloring pages, and the heart collection includes designs with I Love Mom and I Love Dad already written in.
Coloring Tips
This is the set for the youngest colourer. Almost every page is one figure on a white background with thick outlines and no detail behind it. If a child is not yet staying inside the lines, these are the pages where that matters least.
Let the child choose the skin tone. Nothing here specifies who the baby is. A child colouring a new brother or sister should be able to make the page look like them, and it is worth saying so rather than assuming.
Two colours is plenty. A babygro and a toy is often the whole page. Filling those two shapes well looks better than finding something to do with every part of it.
Leave the face mostly blank. Cheeks want a light touch of pink at most. Filling in a whole face flattens the expression, which on these pages is the entire point.
Print one as a card. The teddy, the flower, the flag and the butterfly designs all fold into a card for a new baby or a baby shower. An older sibling colouring one is usually a better gift than anything bought.
Thicker paper if using markers. These pages have large open areas, which means a lot of ink in one place. Standard paper is fine for pencils and crayons; 90gsm or heavier stops felt tips going through.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these baby coloring pages really free?
Yes — all 52 are free to download and print. Click any design to open the PDF. No account, no email, no payment.
What age are these baby coloring pages for?
Younger than most sets here. The faces and single-object designs have the boldest outlines and largest open areas on the site, which suits children from around two. Everything else works comfortably through to about six.
What do the pages show?
A baby’s first year — learning to roll, crawl, pull up and stand; playing with a rattle, blocks, rings and a xylophone; feeding, bath time and sleeping; and a set of simple faces including laughing, yawning and waving.
Are these good for a big brother or big sister?
That is one of the main reasons people print them. A child expecting a new sibling often wants something to do with it, and colouring a page to put in the cot or give at the hospital is a straightforward way in. The teddy, flower and sleeping designs are the ones most often used that way.
Can I use these for a baby shower?
Yes. The comfort and holding designs work well as a children’s activity at a shower, and several fold into a card. Free for personal use.
Can I print more than one copy?
As many as you need.
