Free Printable Tree Coloring Pages

The 37 tree coloring pages include familiar oaks and pines, tropical coconut palms, and trees changing with the seasons. You’ll find open shapes for a relaxed coloring session as well as fuller scenes with branches, leaves, fruit, fences, and tree houses to explore.

Choosing colors for trees

Use greens ranging from pale spring shades to deep pine, and try yellow, orange, or red for leaves in fall. Brown bark gives a natural starting point, but a silver-gray ash, a dark trunk, or a purple evening sky can make the same tree feel different.

Fruit trees invite a little extra color: add red or green apples, or warm orange tones to an orange tree. The Leaf pages can be a handy companion if you want to focus on leaf shapes and shades.

How to tell evergreen and deciduous trees apart

Look at the foliage to distinguish two broad kinds of trees. Deciduous trees, such as the oak and poplar shown here, lose their leaves in a seasonal cycle; evergreens, such as pines, keep foliage through the year.

That difference gives you a simple way to color the pictures as scenes from different seasons. Give a leafy summer oak a full green crown, then try the bare winter tree with fine gray branches and a quiet, pale sky. A snow-covered pine can stay green beneath its white coating.

Christmas tree coloring pages

The Christmas tree drawings range from a simple outline to a fuller evergreen decorated with ornaments. Keep the branches green and add bright baubles, or invent a new palette for the decorations; the larger ornament scene gives you more small areas to color.

For more holiday tree designs, visit the Christmas Tree collection. A simple version works well for a short seasonal activity, while the decorated tree gives older children more details to fill.

Choose by age and coloring level

For a 3-year-old, start with a large, clear outline and just a few crayons. The preschool tree outlines and simple pine are easy to recognize and color without needing to stay inside lots of small spaces. A snow-covered pine also gives little ones an obvious place to try white.

Easy tree coloring pages for kids

Easy drawings suit young kids and anyone who wants a quick, low-pressure page. Try the thick-trunk oak, simple apple tree, or coconut palm on an island: each has a strong main shape, with details that are easy to pick out. The willow in a park and the snowy pine offer a little scenery without making the tree hard to color.

Detailed tree coloring pages for adults

A 7-year-old ready for a longer project, or an adult who enjoys careful coloring, may prefer the busier scenes. The large tree with lush leaves, realistic oak, and tree beside a fence have more branches and textures to work through. Try layering light and dark greens across the canopy, or use a sharp pencil for narrow twigs and small fruit.

Print tree coloring pages as PDFs

Choose “Open the PDF” to open a drawing, or “Print” to send it straight to your printer; both buttons also work from a phone. In the print settings, fit the page to the paper so the whole tree and its branches stay visible. Plain paper works well with crayons and pencils, while thicker paper can help if you’re using markers.
