About these tree coloring pages
Apple trees, pines, oaks and birches grow across these tree coloring pages. Ages 3 to 5 can start with a round apple tree or a pine made of stacked triangles, and ages 6 to 8 get a treehouse with a swing and one tree shown through all four seasons. Hard pages explore a forest path and a giant old tree with twisting roots, while expert pages feature a patterned tree circle and a detailed bonsai.
The four seasons page is useful in early science lessons: have children color each quarter with the colors they see outside at that time of year. On Arbor Day or Earth Day, pair a page with a walk to identify trees near your school or home.
Also in fall coloring pages, winter coloring pages, spring coloring pages and summer coloring pages.
Tree facts to share
- You can estimate a tree's age by counting the rings inside its trunk, since each ring usually marks one year of growth.
- Trees release oxygen into the air as they make food from sunlight.
- Some bristlecone pines in California are more than 4,000 years old.
Color idea: Layer yellow-green on the sunny side of the treetop and a darker green underneath to make the leaves look full and round.
Tree coloring page questions
Which tree page helps teach the seasons?
The medium page shows one tree split into four parts: spring blossoms, summer leaves, autumn leaves and bare winter branches with snow. Children can color each section and talk about what changes, which makes it a good kindergarten or first grade activity.
Are there tree pages for Earth Day or Arbor Day?
Any of them work, but the forest path and the giant old tree with roots show how trees and forests shelter animals like deer, foxes and birds. That makes them a good starting point for talking about why we plant and protect trees.
How should I color tree bark?
Use two or three browns and grays rather than one flat color. Draw short vertical strokes in the darker shade over a lighter base to suggest ridges, and add a little green on the shady side for moss.
