From 8 to 80 years old, coloring books are fun for everyone!

On August 2nd, grab your pencils, crayons, or markers and take part in some colorful fun on National Coloring Book Day. Coloring books and worksheets are great for embracing kids’ creativity while honing their motor skills. Coloring is an activity for almost anywhere – on a road trip, in the classroom, or at home when calm, quiet time is what we need.

Celebrate National Coloring Book Day with the printable coloring sheets below featuring some of our favorite PBS KIDS characters! And for even more coloring pages, printables, and activities, visit PBS KIDS for Parents.
