March coloring pages

Free printable March coloring pages bring shamrocks, rainbows and the first day of spring.

These free printable March coloring pages cover the whole month: St. Patrick's Day shamrocks, windy kite days, rain boots and the first spring flowers. Toddlers get a big smiling shamrock, a kite and a rainbow cloud. Kids get leprechauns, spring lambs and a lion and lamb for the old March saying. Teens and adults get a Celtic knot, a daffodil bouquet and a kite festival, and seniors get bold birdhouses and butterflies. There are also real color rules for rainbows and robins, and ideas for spring activities.

A single shamrock or kite is the gentlest start.

Easy March coloring pages for toddlers start with one shamrock, kite or rainbow.

Little hands do best with one big outline. Start with the Big Shamrock, the Kite in the Wind or the Rainbow and Cloud. The March Shamrock has the word MARCH in outline letters above a bold shamrock.

Preschoolers can try the Pot of Gold, the Spring Tulip, the Spring Lamb or the Umbrella and Raindrops. Each one is a single friendly shape with room to color. Once those feel easy, kids want a scene with a bit of magic in it.

St. Patrick's Day and spring coloring pages for kids mix leprechauns with lambs.

Kids love a leprechaun. In Leprechaun at the Rainbow, he points to his pot of gold. The Leprechaun Treasure Hunt follows a trail of gold coins across the grass. The Lucky Cat wears a green top hat and holds a shamrock. The Rainbow Unicorn stands under its own rainbow.

March weather gets its own pages too. In Like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb shows the old saying about March weather as two friends side by side. Windy March Day has two kids flying kites, and Spring Rain Boots fill with daffodils. For gentle spring scenes, try the Robin Bird, Planting Seeds, Bunny in Spring Flowers or Spring Chicks hatching from their eggs. The Bird and Nest is a quick, bold page. The Celtic Knot Shamrock is the most detailed kids' page, with one looping line. Older colorers usually want that kind of detail everywhere.

Detailed March coloring pages for teens and adults bring daffodils and kite festivals.

The Kite Festival Zentangle fills a sky with patterned kites above a park. The Spring Garden Zentangle packs tulips and a watering can with tiny patterns. The Irish Countryside Cottage Mandala frames a stone cottage and grazing sheep. The Rainbow Landscape arches over a village and a river, and the March Hare in the Meadow leaps through daisies.

The Daffodil Bouquet fills a patterned vase by a window, and the Robin Nest with Eggs shows a robin guarding its nest. If the flowers are your favorite, our flower coloring pages have many more. For a cozy mood, try Planting Seeds, Rainy Day In or the Spring Greenhouse. Jumping in Puddles and First Day of Spring are lighter teen pages. Quick bold pages include the Shamrock Hat Parade, Windy Day Kite, Pot of Gold and Lucky Teatime. Wide, open spring scenes also work for older colorers.

March coloring pages for seniors show birds, butterflies and lambs in bold lines.

The Birds Build a Nest shows two birds at a birdhouse door. The Spring Butterflies flutter among simple flowers. The Birdhouse Garden has birds perched above tulips and daffodils, and the Little Lamb stands in a sunny field.

Birds and lambs are some of the first signs of spring many people remember. They also raise a colorful question: what colors does spring really bring?

What colors do rainbows and robins really have?

A rainbow always runs in the same order. The UK Met Office gives it as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. It also notes that the sun must be behind you to see one. On the Rainbow and Cloud, Rainbow Unicorn and Rainbow Landscape sheets, color the arcs in that order. For a double rainbow, the Met Office explains that the second, fainter arc sits outside the first with its colors reversed.

Robins have real colors too. The National Audubon Society describes the American robin with a brick-red chest and a gray back. Its eggs are pale blue, the shade people call robin's-egg blue. Use those colors on the Robin Bird and the Robin Nest with Eggs. For shamrocks, try two or three greens, lighter in the middle of each leaf and darker at the edges. With the colors set, the pages are ready for a spring project.

March coloring pages turn into window rainbows, kite days and seed charts.

A colored rainbow makes a cheerful window decoration on a gray day. Print it on cardstock, cut it out and tape it to the glass. On a windy afternoon, color the Kite in the Wind, then fly a real kite. After planting real seeds, kids can color the Planting Seeds sheet and hang it by the pots.

For St. Patrick's Day, the Leprechaun Treasure Hunt makes a fun start to a hunt for chocolate coins. When spring really gets going, our April coloring pages bring Easter and April showers.

From a smiling shamrock to a kite festival, these free printable March coloring pages carry you from St. Patrick's Day to the first day of spring. Pick an easy shape or a detailed scene, and color every rainbow in the right order.
