15+ Free Printable Ladybug Coloring Pages for Kids

  • Share

These free printable ladybug coloring pages are so cute and fun! Grab 15+ free printable ladybug/ladybird coloring sheets for children to keep your kids happily busy and coloring.

Ten of the cartoon ladybugs have a doodle frame for simpler coloring pages that are perfect for younger children. Six of the pages have a more detailed background scene to color. For very young children, like toddlers and preschoolers, you can use these free printable ladybug templates as a coloring page.

A preview of 10 cute cartoon ladybug coloring pages on a blue background. Pages include ladybugs with flowers, flying ladybugs, a dancing ladybug, and a ladybug with sunglasses lounging on a leaf.

This post includes affiliate links, which means I may earn a commission on purchases made through links at no additional cost to you.

These coloring sheets can be used for anytime fun or as part of a homeschool lesson plan about ladybugs, spring, gardening, or insects. Ladybugs are fascinating. Although they’re cute and harmless to humans, they’re menacing predators in the insect world. Their nymph form is pretty wicked looking and devours aphids. I’m a gardener, so I love ladybugs. If you like gardening, too, make sure to grab your free printable gardening planner in this post.

The book Life Cycle of a Ladybug is a great look at these beetles written for younger children (kindergarten and early elementary).

How to print and use ladybird coloring pages

Printing and using these coloring pages is pretty straightforward – print them off and hand them over to your child.

I recommend printing the coloring pages on 32 lb bright white paper for the best coloring experience. Remember those yellow, rough coloring pages in coloring books as a child? They’re not that fun to color on. This 32 lb paper is smooth and bright for vibrant colors and easy coloring.

Another bonus is that the thicker paper doesn’t bleed through as quickly so markers are less likely to stain your table again.

My daughter’s favorite crayons are Honeysticks natural beeswax crayons. The colors palette is limited, but the colors are rich and creamy. She used to always complain about not being able to see most of the colors from her major name brand crayon set. She never complains of not being able to see what she colors with Honeysticks.

These crayons have the added benefit of being pure beeswax, which means they’re safe for little mouths that can’t always resist tasting their crayons. They’re made in New Zealand so you don’t have to worry about random toxins and contaminates. (Remember all that news a couple of years ago about toxic crayons?)

It may sound strange, but you can laminate these pages for repeated use. We recently discovered Stabilo Woody 3 in 1 pencils. They’re basically a large wax crayon in a wooden pencil format. You can use them instead of a dry erase marker, so they can be used to color laminated coloring pages. This means you can make reusable coloring pages. What a time saver! Just print and laminate them once. (The image below is from these free printable dinosaur coloring pages. Click over to that post to see a video of these pencils in action on a laminated page.)

Stabilo Woody pencils are remarkably good at coloring on laminated pages with rich, vibrant colors. Reusable coloring pages are amazing – just wipe them down with a very lightly damp towel and the pencil comes right off. No more printing favorite pages a zillion times. Just print and laminate them once for virtually endless coloring fun.

Cleaning the pencil off is easy with a very slightly damp towel. Move to a clean spot on the towel, as needed, and use firm strokes in one direction to clean up quickly and easily.
