Easter and spring coloring pages for toddlers and preschoolers

Eggs, flowers and baby animals

Spring is full of new things to point at: chicks, bunnies, the first tulips in the garden. Easter adds eggs, and many children enjoy deciding what color each egg should be.

The bunny holds out a basket of three striped eggs, with a daisy at its feet. The chick holds a tulip and leans in to smell it. The big Easter egg has straight, zigzag and wavy stripes and a friendly face. The outlines are thick, and there is no grass texture, basket weave or tiny pattern to fill.

The chick with a tulip is marked Very simple, for children of 2 and 3. The bunny and the striped egg are marked Simple, with more parts to color for children of 4 and 5.

Ideas while you color

• One stripe, one color

  The big Easter egg is split into five wide stripes. Your child can pick a different color for each one or make the whole egg one color.

• Hang them in the window

  Cut out the finished egg or chick and tape it to a window. A few colored pages make a cheerful Easter decoration.

• Go on a flower walk

  Look for tulips and daisies outside, then color the flowers on the page to match the ones you found.

• Count the eggs

  There are three eggs in the bunny's basket. Count them together, then draw one or two more in the empty space.
