Lorax Coloring Pages
The Lorax is the small, fuzzy creature from Dr. Seuss with the giant mustache who speaks for the trees, and his story about caring for nature makes these pages a favorite for Earth Day and Read Across America. This set has 20 free printable Lorax coloring pages, each one a different scene. The Lorax walks through a forest of Truffula trees, holds the very last Truffula seed, plants a new sapling, hugs a tree trunk and lifts himself up into the sky by the seat of his pants.
Many of the pages show him taking care of the world around him: watering seedlings, picking up litter, splashing in a clean stream and sheltering from the rain under a big leaf. Every page has bold, clean outlines in the classic book style, with plenty of puffy Truffula tufts, flowers and clouds for kids to fill in.
How to print these Lorax 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 Lorax is orange with a big yellow mustache and yellow eyebrows. The Truffula trees are the fun part: their tufts come in bright pink, orange, yellow, red and purple, with striped trunks. Try a different color for every tuft, then add a blue sky and green grass to make the forest look alive again.
Who these pages are for
The simpler pages, like the close-up wave, the Lorax holding the seed and the Lorax floating in the clouds, suit preschoolers and early elementary kids. The Truffula forest, the pond and the sunrise have more detail for older kids. Teachers can print as many copies as they need for Earth Day, a lesson on recycling and trees, or Dr. Seuss week.
