Stained Glass Coloring Pages: Free and Printable

The collection ranges from a simple cross and a reindeer in the forest to elaborate windows filled with vines, roses, and sun rays. Pick a clear design for a quick activity or settle in with a picture that has many small sections to color.

Colors for a stained glass effect

Strong, bright colors help suggest light shining through glass. Try ruby red, cobalt blue, emerald green, and golden yellow, then leave narrow borders around the sections in black or dark gray to make each color stand out.

For the sunset sailboat, blend orange and pink across the sky, with blue or teal waves below. A lily, sunflower, or rose can use several shades of one color for depth, while the Tree of Life gives you room to mix greens in its branches and roots.

What makes stained glass look distinctive

Traditional stained glass is made from colored pieces of glass joined by narrow strips of lead, often called lead cames. Light passing through the glass brings out its color, while the dark outlines separate each piece.

These drawings borrow that look with enclosed sections and bold outlines, so you can color each pane on its own or repeat a palette for a more unified window. The sunburst, with clouds around its rays, makes a good place to try alternating warm and cool colors. For other pattern ideas, browse Mosaic.

Choosing by age and skill

Look at the size and number of sections before choosing. A child who enjoys coloring broad shapes may prefer a simpler picture, while patient colorists can take their time with fine borders, overlapping details, and busy backgrounds.

Easy stained glass coloring pages for kids

For a 3-year-old, choose the simple cross or dove carrying a leaf: both have large, recognizable shapes that are easier to fill with chunky crayons. A 7-year-old may enjoy the forest reindeer or Donald Duck and Daisy Duck, which add a setting or familiar figures without asking for hours of detail.

The four easy designs work well when you want a short activity. A few medium pictures, such as the four candles surrounded by flowers, offer a gentle step up with extra small areas to color.

Detailed stained glass coloring pages for adults

Adults and older children who like careful work can choose the Tree of Life, with its twisting branches and roots, or the ornate Athena window, framed by a shield and owl. The Gothic skeleton key among bookshelves and the phoenix rising over mountains also have layered details that reward a fine-tip colored pencil.

A realistic rose, a flower-framed set of hearts, or the musician playing saxophone gives you different kinds of detail to explore. These designs suit a longer session, especially if you enjoy changing shades within each pane.

Cute stained glass coloring pages

The baby elephant has a friendly, rounded shape, while the kawaii butterfly offers a smaller design with wings you can color in matching pairs. A cute unicorn brings a little more detail through its mane and decorative sections, so it can suit a child who is ready to color more carefully.

Keep the palette simple for a calm look, or give each outlined section a different bright color. A Christmas tree with detailed branches can also be colored in greens and warm ornament colors for a seasonal activity.

Print stained glass coloring pages as PDFs

Open the drawing’s PDF with “Open the PDF,” or send it straight to your printer with “Print”; both buttons work from a phone, too. Choose fit to page if you want the full outline to show, and use thicker paper if you’re coloring with markers. Colored pencils are handy for the small sections in the detailed designs.
