Insect Coloring Pages
Explore the world through these intricate insect coloring pages. From fluttering dragonflies to armored beetles, let your creativity buzz to life!
When my boys were little, we spent a lot of time exploring the fascinating world of insects. Every time we came across any creepy crawlies on one of our outdoor adventures, we had to stop and examine them. The best part was seeing how the boys’ faces lit up as they examined those tiny creatures.
Today’s insect coloring pages bring me back to their childhood, as well as my own. When I was a child, I loved coloring! I still find that it can be a great way to relax and destress.

Coloring is a great activity for children too. There is no right or wrong way to do it. There is a huge variety of tools that they can use, like crayons, colored pencils, or markers. It is also an excellent way to practice and develop fine motor skills.
Each free coloring page that I am sharing today is full of bug patterns that kids will love filling in with all kinds of different colors. They are a great way to keep kids of all ages busy on a rainy day! Older children and adults will especially appreciate these intricate drawings.
I have included eight awesome free printable coloring pages that can be used individually and would also make a great coloring book. Each picture would be so much fun to color with the kids!
Each of these printables can be saved directly to your computer by right clicking on the image and selecting “save”. Or you can download the complete package of PDF files using the form at the bottom of this post. For personal use only.
More Ideas:
- Make up an insect-focused workbook for the kids. Include bug activities, fun fact sheets, and simple coloring pages.
- Frame some of your colored bug pictures and use them as wall art.
- Print a smaller version of the coloring page design and use it to make a greeting card.
- Going on a trip? Make up some DIY coloring books using different free coloring pages. You can make them all the same or customize them for each of your kids. Switch up the difficulty level or theme. There are so many possibilities!
Fun ways to use activity printables:
- Create a coloring and activity book.
- Paint the printable, frame it, and give it to a friend.
- Complete the activities solo or with family.
