Cartoons coloring pages: 18,366 printable designs, the largest collection on the site, organized into 6 collections by audience and content type. Each page can be downloaded as a PDF to print or colored online in the browser.
This hub was reorganized from a single flat list of 288 topics into 6 focused collections, so that a show for toddlers, a classic franchise, and a series made for adults are no longer competing for space on the same page. Choose a collection below, or jump straight to one of the most popular individual topics.

Why Coloring Helps
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, coloring supports fine motor skill development in early childhood, building hand strength and pencil control ahead of handwriting practice. A 2005 study published in the Art Therapy Journal found that coloring can reduce anxiety in both children and adults, making it a low-pressure creative activity across every collection in this hub, from Toddler Shows to Mature Animation.
5 Creative Craft Ideas
These simple, low-supply projects work with a printed page from any of the 6 collections.
1. Character Bookmark
Color a favorite character, cut it into a bookmark shape, and laminate or cover with clear tape for durability.
2. Cartoon Character Mask
Color a character’s face, cut around the outline, add eye holes, and attach a craft stick or elastic band to wear.
3. Story Strip Collage
Color several small scenes from one show, cut them apart, and arrange them in order on paper to retell a favorite episode.
4. Favorite Character Mobile
Color two or three characters, cut them out, and hang them from a clothes hanger with a string at different lengths.
5. Cartoon-Themed Greeting Card
Color a page, fold a piece of cardstock in half, and glue the colored design to the front to make a greeting card.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are cartoon coloring pages?
Cartoon coloring pages are printable line-art designs of characters and scenes from animated series and films. The full collection includes 18,366 free designs organized into 6 focused collections, available as PDFs or online coloring.
Why was this hub reorganized into 6 collections?
The previous version listed all 288 topics on a single page, which made the page slow to load and hard to browse. Splitting the collection by audience and content type keeps each page focused and faster to use.
Which collection should I start with?
Choose based on the age or type of content you are looking for: Toddler Shows for ages 2 to 5, Kids and Family Cartoons for ages 6 to 12, Animated Films for movies, Classic and Vintage for multi-generational favorites, Mature Animation for teen and adult content, or Character and Merchandise Brands for mascots and style-based designs.
Are Pokemon, Sanrio, and other large franchises still part of this hub?
Yes. Franchises large enough to have their own dedicated collection elsewhere on the site are cross-referenced here rather than duplicated, so following a link to Pokemon or Sanrio takes you to that franchise’s own hub.
How is the “Most Popular Topics” list chosen?
It starts from Google Search Console demand data across all 6 collections, then is reviewed and adjusted by hand rather than following the ranking automatically.
Do all 288 original topics still exist on the site?
Yes. No individual topic page was removed. Each one now belongs to exactly one of the 6 collections instead of appearing in a single flat list.
Is this collection different from the Anime Hub?
Yes. Cartoons covers animation broadly, including some Japanese series like Doraemon and Studio Ghibli films, while the separate Anime hub covers a different, more anime-specific set of series and characters.
Are these pages suitable for all ages?
Most of the collection is family-friendly, though the Mature Animation collection is explicitly intended for teens and adults rather than young children.
