Maleficent coloring pages

Free, printable Maleficent coloring pages

The gallery ranges from a kawaii portrait to dramatic scenes with Maleficent, Aurora, a raven, and a fire-breathing dragon. Some drawings focus on faces and silhouettes, while others fill the page with thorny branches, castle details, or swirling flames. Pick a quiet portrait for a quick coloring session or a busier scene when you have time for fine details.

The film behind Maleficent

Maleficent is a 2014 film directed by Robert Stromberg, with Maleficent and Aurora among its central characters. The drawings bring that movie setting to the page through scenes such as Maleficent watching Aurora beside a cursed spindle and the two women standing back to back. Those moments can prompt a conversation about how a scene changes when it is shown from different characters’ perspectives.

Other pictures pair Maleficent with a raven or a dragon, or place her near a castle tower. A portrait of Angelina Jolie as Maleficent gives you a close-up to color, while scenes with thorns and fire make the setting feel more dramatic. These details offer plenty to notice without needing to know every part of the story.

Make a Maleficent scene into a story

Turn a picture into a short storytelling activity by asking your child to choose what happens just before and after the moment shown. For the spindle scene, they might imagine why Maleficent is watching Aurora; for a dragon picture, they can decide whether the creature is guarding a tower or following an order. Add a title and one sentence beneath the finished drawing to make a small story prompt.

For a group activity, let each person color a different scene, then arrange the pictures in an order that tells a tale. Look for clues such as the castle, the thorny background, the raven, and the dragon’s flames. Children can explain their choices aloud, or write a few lines if they want to practice storytelling.

Choose a drawing by age and skill

There are only a few simple designs, so most of this collection suits someone ready to work on smaller shapes and layered details. For kids around age 3, the single kawaii portrait has the clearest, simplest forms; an adult can help with the small areas. A 7-year-old may enjoy a cute portrait or the scene with Aurora and the spindle, while a confident young colorist can try the more elaborate thorn and dragon drawings.

Cute Maleficent drawings

The cute selection includes kawaii and chibi-style portraits, with a softer look than the scenes of dragon fire and tangled thorns. Their expressive faces and compact shapes make them a friendly choice for kids who want to focus on Maleficent herself. The kawaii portrait is also the easiest design in the collection, though some versions include more details to fill in.

Detailed Maleficent coloring pages for adults

For adults who enjoy careful coloring, try the close-up framed by thorny branches or the scene with Maleficent, a raven, and a dragon. Dense lines, sharp horns, layered costumes, and curling flames call for patience and a few different tools. The picture with Maleficent and Aurora back to back gives you two figures to balance, while the castle and staff scenes offer smaller architectural and object details.

Print Maleficent coloring pages as PDF files

Choose “Open the PDF” to open a drawing, or “Print” to send it straight to your printer; both buttons work from a phone, too. In the print settings, select fit to page so the full thorny border or dragon scene stays visible. Plain paper works well with colored pencils, while thicker paper can handle markers better.
