Coloring Pages for 3 Year Olds: Big, Easy Pictures
These 24 coloring pages for 3 year olds are the simplest pictures in Gullu: one big subject and only a few spaces to fill. Shapes come first, with a cheering circle, a heart, a star, an oval egg and a round sun. Then come things a small child can name: a rubber duck, a yo-yo, a pear, an orange, a carrot, a lollipop, a gummy bear and a mug. For animals there is a duck, a chick beside its eggshell, a sleeping puppy, a kitten, a seal pup, a waving shark and a snail, plus a ringed planet, a beach ball and a ghost who wants a hug. 7 of them are free to print here, marked “free to print”; the rest are colored in the Gullu app.

Ideas for home and the classroom
- Offer two or three chunky crayons, not a full box, and let your child choose the colors freely.
- Name the picture and its shape together before coloring: round orange, pointy star, curly snail shell.
- Keep sessions short, and hang the finished page low on the wall where your child can see it.
For 3 year olds coloring pages: questions
Which coloring pages for 3 year olds are free to print?
7 are free to print, for personal, home and classroom use: Circle, Heart Shape, Oval Egg, Carrot, Lollipop, Baby Chick and Smiling Ghost. Circle, Carrot and Lollipop are also in the free 47-page PDF. The other pages are colored in the Gullu app.
Are these pages easy enough for 2 year olds?
Many are. The circle, the oval egg, the orange, the lollipop and the star are single big shapes, so a 2 year old can scribble across them happily. Ages are only a guide: at 2 and 3, staying inside the lines is not the goal. Holding a crayon and choosing a color is the practice.
What makes a coloring page right for a 3 year old?
Thick outlines, one clear subject and a few large spaces. Every picture here is one of the easy pages in its Gullu land, such as the rubber duck, which takes only a few shapes to finish, and the snail with its one big spiral shell.
