How to print this sunflower coloring page
- Choose the PDF that matches your paper: Letter in the US and Canada, A4 in most other countries.
- Open the file and print at 100% or “Actual size”. The page is already sized to the sheet, so there is nothing to fit or scale.
- Regular printer paper works for crayons and pencils. Use heavier paper or cardstock for markers so the color doesn't bleed through.
- Printing for a group? Print one copy, check the margins on your printer, then print the rest of the stack.
Questions about this coloring page
- Is this sunflower coloring page free?
- Yes. You can download and print it as often as you like for personal, family and classroom use. No account is needed.
- Can I use it in my classroom or with a group?
- Yes. Teachers, librarians, daycare and party hosts are welcome to print as many copies as they need. Selling the page, or products made from it, requires a paid plan.
- Can I make the drawing bigger or smaller?

- Pages marked Easy have thick lines and large areas and suit children from about 3. Pages marked Medium have more and smaller shapes and suit children from about 6, as well as adults who want something quick and relaxing.
- Do I need to install anything?
- No. The PDF opens in any browser or PDF reader on a computer, tablet or phone, and prints from there.
Why kids like flower coloring pages
Flowers are a good way to practise color choices. Petals repeat around a center, so a child can alternate two colors, shade from dark to light, or give every petal a different color and still end up with something that looks right.
They also suit every season and occasion: a bunch of tulips for spring, a sunflower for late summer, a rose for Mother's Day or a card for a grandparent.
Things to talk about while coloring
- Which parts of a flower can you name?
- Why do bees visit flowers?
- Which flowers grow near where you live?
What to color it with
- Crayons
- Best for ages 3 to 5. The wide tip fills big areas fast and the thick outlines hide small slips.
- Colored pencils
- Good from age 6. They allow light and dark shades of the same color and stay inside narrow shapes.
- Markers
- Bright and even, but they soak through thin paper. Print on heavier paper and put a spare sheet underneath.
More ways to use it
- Print two per sheet and fold them into party favors or a rainy-day activity pack.
- Glue the finished drawing onto folded card for a birthday or thank-you card.
- Laminate a copy and color it with dry-wipe markers, again and again.
- Tape it to a window and trace the outline onto plain paper to practise drawing.
