Green Eggs and Ham Coloring Pages
Green Eggs and Ham is the Dr. Seuss story about Sam-I-Am, who will not give up until his grumpy friend tries the famous green eggs and ham. Each page in this set of free printable Green Eggs and Ham coloring pages is a different scene from the book and beyond. Sam-I-Am carries his plate on a train, in a boat, with a fox, in a box, in the rain, in a tree and through a dark tunnel, and finally sits down to enjoy a big happy bite.
Sam-I-Am is the star of every page, drawn with bold, clean outlines in the classic book style and big open spaces. There are fun extras to color too: a goat, a mouse, a little car, a frying pan, a giant ham on a platter and a sunny picnic.

Coloring ideas
The eggs and the ham are the stars here, so grab your brightest green for the yolks and the ham. Sam-I-Am is usually a soft yellow or tan with a red hat. For a fun twist, color everything in normal colors except the food, and let the green pop off the page.
Who these pages are for
The simpler pages, like Sam-I-Am waving, jumping for joy or sitting in the box, suit preschoolers and early elementary kids. The train, the boat, the kitchen and the tunnel have more small pieces for older kids. Teachers and librarians can print as many copies as they need for Read Across America Day, Dr. Seuss week or a lesson about trying new foods.
