Curious George coloring pages

Free, printable Curious George coloring pages

The 17 drawings range from a close-up of George’s face to scenes with the Man in the Yellow Hat, a book, or a tree. Birthday balloons and pumpkins make lively subjects, while the Christmas scene has more small details to work through. Pick a familiar picture for a quick coloring break, or choose a scene that can inspire a story.

Choose by age and skill level

For a 3-year-old, a large, clear outline is easier to color than a scene with several small objects. A 7-year-old may enjoy adding a setting or imagining what George is looking at. The medium-detail drawings give older kids more to color without making every part of the picture intricate.

Easy Curious George coloring pages for kids

The easy drawings keep the main shapes prominent, which helps young children stay within broad areas and recognize George’s face. A simple outline works well for practicing hand control, while the picture of George holding balloons offers separate shapes to color. Choose the birthday scene for a cheerful occasion, or the pumpkin picture for a Halloween activity.

Other easy scenes give George something to do: he peers through binoculars, reads in a park, or sits under a big hat. Those clear actions make it easy to talk about what he might see or read as a child colors. For adults who want a calm, uncomplicated page, the face and outline drawings are quick to finish.

Make up a story for George

Choose a scene and ask what happened just before it. George might have spotted something through his binoculars, climbed into the tree to get a better view, or taken a break with a banana. Let the child decide where he is going next, then add a background detail such as a path, leaves, or a picnic blanket.

The Man in the Yellow Hat reading to George can start a different tale: invent a book title and describe what George imagines as he listens. A birthday picture could become an invitation, while the Halloween pumpkins can lead into a story about choosing or decorating a jack-o’-lantern.

Meet Curious George and the Man in the Yellow Hat

Curious George is the subject of a 2006 animated film directed by Matthew O’Callaghan. These drawings include George and the Man in the Yellow Hat together, including a scene of the man reading to George, as well as pictures focused on George on his own. The familiar yellow hat is a handy color cue, but children can choose their own colors for the rest of each scene.
