About these volcano coloring pages

Lava, smoke and rocky slopes fill these volcano coloring pages. Ages 3 to 5 can start with a smiling volcano puffing a little cloud or a tall volcano with lava streams. Ages 6 to 8 get a volcano island with two palm trees and a Triceratops watching a volcano puff smoke, while the hard pages for 9 and up show a girl making a baking soda volcano and lava flowing into the sea.

Teens and adults can try the doodle volcano and a detailed eruption above a jungle valley. Volcano pages fit neatly into an earth science unit: color one, then build a simple baking soda and vinegar volcano together and talk about how real lava differs from the bubbling foam.

Also in kawaii coloring pages.

Volcano facts to share

  1. Molten rock is called magma while it is underground and lava once it reaches the surface.
  2. Most of the world's active volcanoes sit around the edge of the Pacific Ocean, in a zone called the Ring of Fire.
  3. Mauna Loa in Hawaii is the largest active volcano on Earth.

Color idea: Blend yellow, orange and red for flowing lava, use grays and browns for rock and ash, and add bright greens for jungle plants and palm trees.

Volcano coloring page questions

Which volcano pages suit young children?

The easy pages suit ages 3 to 5: a smiling volcano puffing a round cloud and a tall cone volcano with wavy lava streams. Both show one big volcano with only a few rocks or lava drips around it.

How do I color lava so it looks hot?

Start with yellow in the middle of each lava stream, blend into orange and finish with red at the edges. Use grays and browns for the rocky slopes and light gray for the smoke so the lava stands out.

Is there a volcano page with dinosaurs?

Yes. The medium page shows a Triceratops with three horns watching a volcano puff smoke while a pterosaur flies overhead. It pairs well with dinosaur coloring pages for a prehistoric theme.
