Finding good things for kids to do is hard sometimes. If you are looking for coloring pages 6 year old kids will actually like, you are in the right place. I know how it is when they get bored. They want something fun but not too babyish. Six is a big age! They are in school and they want to show off what they can do.
I made this list of 40 ideas because I want to help other parents and teachers. Sometimes you just need a quick activity so you can drink your coffee or finish some work. These ideas are easy to print and kids really love them.
Fun Themes for Coloring Pages 6 Year Old Kids
When kids turn six, they start liking specific things. Some like fast cars and some like magic. It is important to have a lot of variety so they don’t get bored after just one page. Here is a big list of ideas you can look for.
How to Print These Free Sheets
To access any of these free coloring pages for girls, click on any of the images or links, which will open you to the corresponding page. Once opened, you will then be able to find more pages that are all free to download and print!
It is really easy to do. All these PDF coloring pages are on standard US letter size, but they also fit perfectly onto A4 paper sizes! So no matter where you live in the world, they should work for your printer. I like to print a bunch at once and keep them in a folder. That way, when the kids say “I’m bored,” I just hand them the folder and some crayons.
Pro Tip: If you want the colors to look really bright, use thicker paper. But regular printer paper works just fine for everyday fun.
