About these birthday coloring pages

Cake, balloons, candles, gifts and games: these birthday coloring pages cover the whole party. Ages 3 to 5 can color a smiling cake or a bunch of balloons, ages 6 to 8 get a child blowing out candles and animal friends sharing cake in a meadow, and kids 9 and up get a full backyard party and a gift-opening scene.

The ornate tiered cake and the birthday mandala are meant for teens and adults. Because these happy birthday coloring pages leave out lettering, kids can write a name, age or message themselves, and a colored page folds neatly into a homemade card.

Also in cute coloring pages and kawaii coloring pages.

Birthday facts to share

  1. The 'Happy Birthday to You' tune comes from 'Good Morning to All,' a song by sisters Mildred and Patty Hill published in 1893.
  2. In a group of just 23 people, there is a better-than-even chance that two of them share a birthday.
  3. Tip: at a party, set out coloring pages and crayons as a calm first activity while guests arrive.

Color idea: Go bright with rainbow balloons and confetti, then pick one pastel for the cake frosting and a deeper shade of it for the drips so the layers stand out.

Birthday coloring page questions

Why isn't 'Happy Birthday' written on the pages?

Lettering stays out of the art so children can write their own message, a friend's name or an age in their own handwriting. That turns a colored page into a personal birthday card, and it means every design works for any child.

Which birthday page is best for a toddler's party?

The smiling cake and the bunch of balloons are the easy designs, with big shapes and thick outlines. Print a stack and set them out with chunky crayons so little guests have something to do between games.

Can I make a birthday card from these pages?

Yes. Print on cardstock, color the design and fold it in half, or cut out the cake or balloons and glue them to the front of a folded card. Write the message inside so the artwork stays clean.
