31 Frog Coloring Pages (Free PDF Printables)

Not one of these frog coloring pages shows a frog on a lily pad. Every single design has the frog doing a job or a hobby instead: a knight in armor, a taxi driver, a construction worker, a frog playing chess. There are 31 designs and all 31 are a character rather than an animal.

Eleven are proper jobs: a pilot, a scientist, a detective, a firefighter, a farmer, a construction worker, a taxi driver, a pizza chef, a photographer, a gardener and a knight. Nine are music and performance, with a rockstar, a drummer, a DJ, a magician, a ballerina, a breakdancer and a graffiti artist. The rest are sport and leisure: skateboarding, surfing, rock climbing, hiking, basketball, a race car, a motorcycle, chess, gaming, reading and a coffee.

Every one of these frog coloring pages is free. Each design prints on standard US Letter paper, there is no sign-up, and the frog coloring sheets can be printed as many times as you need. Click any design below to open the full-size PDF.

What’s in This Collection

Frogs with a job

Pilot, scientist, detective, firefighter, farmer, construction worker, taxi driver, pizza chef, photographer, gardener and knight. Eleven designs, and the group that works best in a classroom, because each one has a uniform and a tool that can be talked about before anyone picks up a pencil.

Music and performance

A rockstar, a drummer, a DJ, a magician, a ballerina, a breakdancer and a graffiti artist. The rockstar page has an accidental joke in it: a real frog sings by pushing air back and forth over its vocal cords with its mouth and nose shut, so it can call without ever taking a breath.

Sport and wheels

Skateboarding, surfing, rock climbing, hiking, basketball, a race car and a motorcycle. These have the most background in the set, since a skateboard needs ground under it and a surfboard needs a wave.

Sitting still

Reading a book, drinking coffee, playing chess and gaming. Four quiet pages with the fewest lines, and the ones to give a younger child. The chess page is the one to point at for a fact: a frog can see almost all the way around itself without moving its head, because its eyes sit on top rather than at the front.

Coloring Tips

Green is the obvious choice and the dullest one. Real frogs come in red, blue, yellow, orange and almost black. Letting a child pick a different color for each of the 31 pages turns a repetitive set into a varied one, and it is accurate rather than invented.

Wet skin needs a highlight. A frog is not matte. Leaving a small unfilled patch on the top of the head, the shoulder and each leg is what makes the skin look damp instead of dusty, and it takes a few seconds per page.

The eyes are the character. Every frog here has large round eyes sitting high on the head. A ring of gold or orange around the pupil, with a white spot left bare, does more for these pages than anything else on the list.

Let the uniform carry the color. On the eleven job pages, the outfit is where the page gets its personality. A red fire helmet, a yellow hard hat, a white lab coat. Keeping the frog itself a single flat green and putting the effort into the clothes is the faster route to a finished-looking page.

Start younger children on the sitting pages. Reading, coffee, chess and gaming have few lines and no background. The race car, the rock climbing page and the graffiti wall have the most detail and suit an older child.
