Free, Printable Totoro Coloring Pages

The gallery ranges from Totoro holding a leaf or umbrella to scenes with Mei and Satsuki, dust bunnies, and the Catbus. Some pictures have broad, simple shapes; others fill the page with flowers, forest details, or a mandala pattern. Pick a familiar scene for a quick activity or a busier drawing to color at a slower pace.

Who Is Totoro?

Totoro is a fictional creature and anime character created by Hayao Miyazaki, appearing in My Neighbor Totoro. The drawings place him in gentle, imaginative moments, from sharing food with Mei and Satsuki to waiting at a bus stop as the Catbus appears behind him. These scenes give children a starting point for talking about what the characters might be doing.

Make a Story From the Pictures

Use a few drawings to tell a story together. Start with Totoro and the girls in the forest, then imagine what happens when they share an umbrella in the rain or meet him by the river. Add a beginning and an ending, such as a picnic or a sleepy rest beneath the trees.

For a group activity, let each child color one scene and tell a sentence about it. A leaf can become a shelter, the bus stop can mark a journey, and the dust bunnies can be tiny forest visitors. Put the scenes in an order that makes sense to your group, or let the story take a silly turn.

Choose by Age and Coloring Level

The easiest pictures work well for preschoolers and children around age three, especially when they show one large figure and a few clear objects. A seven-year-old may enjoy adding a story to the scene and choosing colors for the umbrella, leaves, or forest. Older children and adults can take their time with smaller shapes and denser patterns.

Easy Totoro Coloring Pages for Kids

Totoro holding up a leaf, standing beside a tree with an umbrella, or eating ramen gives young colorers large, recognizable shapes to fill. The pictures of Mei and Satsuki sleeping on Totoro or sitting with him in the forest add a simple scene without making every area feel crowded. A chibi Totoro with a tiny umbrella is a cute choice for someone who likes small, friendly details.

Detailed Totoro Coloring Pages for Adults

For a more involved project, try the flower mandala around Totoro or the intricate mandala, where repeated petals and small spaces invite careful pencil work. Totoro in the air with Satsuki clinging to him, or the girls raising their hands beside him, gives you more figures and movement to color. The Catbus behind Totoro at the bus stop makes a layered scene, while the picnic with Hello Kitty and the forest meeting with Pikachu bring extra characters into the picture.
