Grinch Coloring Pages
The Grinch is the grumpy, furry character from Dr. Seuss who tried to steal Christmas from Whoville, and his sly grin makes him one of the most fun characters to color every December. This set has 20 free printable Grinch coloring pages, each one a different scene. The Grinch dresses up in his Santa suit, hauls a giant sack of presents, squeezes down a chimney, sneaks a Christmas tree out the door and watches his heart grow three sizes.
His loyal dog Max is here too, pulling the sleigh down the mountain, looking over Whoville from the top of Mount Crumpit and getting a big hug at the end. The pages have bold, clean outlines in the classic book style, with plenty of cozy extras to color: stockings by the fire, a mug of cocoa, a tangle of Christmas lights and a grumpy snowman built in the Grinch’s own image.
How to print these Grinch coloring pages
Click the Download button under any picture to save it, then print it on standard letter paper. The pages are portrait and sized to fill the sheet, so pick fit to page in your print settings. Plain white paper is fine for crayons and colored pencils; light cardstock holds up better for markers.
Coloring ideas
The Grinch is famous for his bright green fur and yellow eyes, so a couple of shades of green are all you need to make him look right. His Santa suit is red with white fur trim. Max is light brown with a darker brown antler. For the Christmas pages, go bold with red and green ornaments, yellow lights and a gold star on top of the tree.
Who these pages are for
The simpler pages, like the Grinch holding a present, the growing heart and Max in his scarf, suit preschoolers and early elementary kids. The busier scenes, such as the sleigh, the fireplace, the living room and the view of Whoville, have more small pieces for older kids and adults. Parents and teachers can print as many copies as they need for holiday parties, the classroom or a cozy night in.
