This free pack brings together 13 black-and-white color by number animal printables for kids. Each page stars one big, original animal in a simple habitat scene, drawn with bold, clean outlines and large numbered areas that are easy for little hands to colour. Every page carries a “COLOR BY NUMBER” header with the animal’s name, a “Name: ____” line at the top, and a colour key of numbered circles along the bottom. Children simply match each number to its colour in the key, then colour the picture.
The pack is completely free, with no email gate: download the PDF, print the pages you need, and start colouring straight away. Both files contain the same 13 pages, so simply choose A4 or US Letter to match your printer.
How to use the color by number pages
Colouring a page is easy — just four steps:
- Pick a page and look at the animal.
- Find the colour key at the bottom of the page.
- Match each number to its colour in the key.
- Colour inside the lines, one numbered area at a time.
The pages suit children aged 3 to 8. Younger children can start with the biggest areas, while older children can work through the smaller details. Along the way, the pages gently build number recognition and fine motor skills — all while the picture slowly comes to life.
What’s Included
In this collection, we publish 13 color by number animals crafts and images.
How to print (A4 and US Letter)
Both files contain the same 13 pages. Download the A4 PDF (13 pages) or the US Letter PDF (13 pages), then print at 100% on A4 or US Letter paper. Plain paper works well, and light card gives a sturdier page for crayons and felt tips. The artwork originates at 1080 × 1620, so the pages stay crisp and clear when printed.
