Free Masha and the Bear coloring pages: 20 printable designs from the Russian animated series about a mischievous young girl and her patient bear friend. Each page downloads as a PDF to print or opens in the browser for online coloring.
Masha and the Bear was created by Oleg Kuzovkov and produced by Animaccord Animation Studio in Moscow, with its first episode released in 2009. Loosely based on a traditional Russian folk tale, the series follows Masha, an energetic young girl, and Bear, a retired circus performer who tries to keep her out of trouble. It has become one of the most-watched preschool series in the world, broadcast in more than 100 countries. The supporting cast includes Masha’s cousin Dasha, Bear’s circus friend Tiger, two wolves who live in an old ambulance, and a pig named Rosie.
This collection of 20 pages covers Masha’s everyday adventures, her friendship with Bear, and the wider cast of animal characters. All pages are free, with no account or sign-up required.
What Is Inside This Collection
The 20 pages are split between Masha’s daily life, her scenes with Bear, and the wider supporting cast.
Masha’s Everyday Adventures
8 pages showing Masha on her own, going to school, heading to the beach, playing in the snow, and enjoying other everyday moments that make up the bulk of the show’s episodes. These pages lean into the character’s mischievous, energetic personality that drives most of the series’ comedy.
Masha and the Bear Together
4 pages showing Masha and Bear together, playing and spending time as the central duo the series is built around. Bear’s patient, protective role toward Masha comes through clearly across these paired scenes.
Bear and His Circle
3 pages featuring Bear on his own, receiving a gift of flowers, and one page with the Female Bear, the character described in the show as the object of Bear’s affections.
The Supporting Cast
4 pages covering the wider cast: Tiger, Bear’s friend from their circus days; the two Wolves who live in an old ambulance car; the pig, Rosie; and a page displayed on this site as “Masha in the Garden,” though its source file is named after Dasha, Masha’s cousin from Moscow, suggesting this page most likely depicts Dasha rather than Masha herself.
Movie Poster
1 page featuring official poster-style artwork for a Masha and the Bear film release, rounding out the collection with promotional art alongside the character portraits.
What Masha and the Bear Coloring Pages Do
Simple, bold character shapes suit early coloring practice. The show’s character designs use large heads, few small details, and clear outlines built for a preschool audience, which makes these pages approachable for colorists who are just starting to practice staying inside the lines.
Fine motor development. The American Academy of Pediatrics identifies fine motor skill development as a core benefit of structured coloring for children ages 2 through 7. Masha and the Bear’s own audience skews toward this same age range, and the pages’ large, simple shapes match well with early crayon and marker control.
Anxiety reduction through focus. A 2005 study in the Art Therapy Journal documented measurable reductions in anxiety following structured coloring sessions. The show’s gentle, low-conflict tone, built around friendship rather than danger, supports the same kind of calm, low-pressure focus.
A global favorite that travels well across a coloring set. Since the series has been translated into more than 20 languages and watched in over 100 countries, this collection works as a shared coloring activity across a wide range of households and classrooms already familiar with the characters.
How to Color Masha and the Bear Pages Well
- Masha’s dress: keep it a bright pink, worn over a white blouse.
- Masha’s headscarf: color it a light purple or lilac, tied over her hair, which is her most recognizable design detail.
- Bear: Use a warm brown for his fur, with a white belly and black paws.
- Dasha: If coloring the page believed to depict Dasha, note that she is designed with platinum-blonde hair, blue eyes, blue-rimmed glasses, and an orange dress, distinct from Masha’s pink-and-purple look.
- The Wolves: keep their fur gray, with one of the two typically shown wearing a blue shirt.
- Rosie the pig: Use a solid pink for her body, keeping the shading simple so her rounded shape stays the visual focus of the page.
5 Creative Craft Ideas With Masha and the Bear Coloring Pages

Color a favorite page, glue it to a piece of cardboard, and cut around the outline. Fold a small cardboard tab onto the back so the finished character can stand upright on a desk or shelf.
