Free Elio Coloring Pages: 33 printable PDF designs featuring Elio, his alien friends, and creatures from the Disney and Pixar film. Each page can be downloaded as a PDF to print or colored online in the browser.
Elio, released by Disney and Pixar on June 20, 2025, follows an eleven-year-old boy named Elio Solis who is accidentally beamed up to the Communiverse, an interplanetary organization made up of alien delegates from across the galaxy. Mistaken for Earth’s official ambassador, Elio has to form bonds with a wide cast of unusual alien lifeforms while figuring out who he truly is. The film went through several release date changes during production, originally planned for 2024 before shifting to June 2025, and marked a return to an original, non-sequel story for Pixar following a string of franchise films. This Elio Coloring Pages collection captures that colorful, imaginative alien world, from Elio himself in his makeshift ambassador gear to the many strange creatures he meets along the way.
The set spans 33 designs, ranging from character-focused portraits of Elio to detailed studies of individual alien creatures.
What Is Inside This Collection
The 33 pages fall into four recurring groupings.
Elio in Action and Costume
A large number of designs show Elio in motion or wearing his makeshift ambassador gear, including a cape and a colander-style helmet. These pages capture the character’s energetic, adventurous spirit.
Elio and His Alien Friends
A group of designs pairs Elio with one or more alien companions, showing the friendships he builds throughout the story. These scenes give colorists a chance to work on Elio alongside a variety of creature designs.
Alien Creature Designs
Some designs focus entirely on a single alien creature, ranging from soft, blob-like forms to tentacled and mechanical designs. These pages suit colorists who enjoy inventing their own color schemes for imaginative, non-human characters.
Elio’s Personal Moments
A number of pages show quieter, more personal scenes, like Elio smiling or sharing a hug with a family member. These designs give the collection an emotional anchor alongside its space-adventure scenes.
What Elio Coloring Pages Do
Fine motor precision across varied textures. Structured coloring supports fine motor skill development in young children, and the range of alien textures in this collection, from soft blob shapes to mechanical, tentacled, or furry designs, gives colorists practice switching between very different coloring techniques.
A visual connection to a story about identity: because Elio’s story centers on an ordinary kid discovering who he really is while surrounded by extraordinary company, coloring his page gives fans a character-driven way to talk about that theme alongside the coloring activity.
Calm focus through imaginative creature detail. A 2005 study in the Art Therapy Journal documented measurable reductions in anxiety following structured coloring sessions, and the intricate detail on many of the alien designs gives colorists a slow, absorbing area to work through.
Open-ended creative design practice. Because the aliens in this collection are entirely original creature designs, coloring them gives kids a low-pressure way to experiment with color choices that would look out of place on a more familiar animal or character.
How to Color Elio Pages Well
- Elio’s skin and hair: Warm Sepia tones for skin and dark Brown or Black for hair keep his character design consistent across different scenes.
- Elio’s cape and gear: Bright Scarlet Red or Sunglow Yellow works well for his makeshift superhero cape, with Metallic Silver for the colander-style helmet.
- Blob-style aliens: Soft, rounded gradients in pastel colors, like Lavender or Mint Green, suit the softer alien designs.
- Tentacled and mechanical aliens: Cooler tones like Steel Blue or Teal work well for more technical or otherworldly creature designs, with small Sunglow accents for glowing details.
- Space and cosmic backgrounds: A deep Indigo or Navy sky with small White star dots gives space scenes a sense of real depth.
- Alien skin patterns: Since these are original creature designs, experimenting with unusual combinations, like Teal skin with Magenta spots, helps each alien feel distinct from the others.
5 Creative Craft Ideas With Elio Coloring Pages
1. Galactic Ambassador Passport
Color several small Elio and alien pages, then glue them into a small booklet made from folded construction paper to build a pretend “Galactic Ambassador Passport.” Adding a made-up stamp or note next to each character gives the passport a playful, official feel. This works well as a pretend-play project tied to the film’s ambassador storyline.
2. Space Diary Entry
Color a favorite Elio page, then write a short diary entry from Elio’s point of view describing an imaginary alien encounter. Pairing the colored page with the written entry turns the coloring activity into a creative writing project. This works especially well as a classroom extension for kids who enjoy storytelling.
3. Galactic Mural Poster
Color several alien and Elio pages, then arrange and glue them onto one large poster board to build a shared galactic mural. Layering the pieces at different heights gives the mural a sense of depth and scale. This works well as a group classroom or family project.
4. Alien Stick Puppet
Color a simple alien design, cut it out, and glue a craft stick to the back for support. Using a few different alien puppets together lets kids act out their own space-adventure story. This turns the finished page into a simple prop for pretend play.
5. Elio Bookmark
Trim a simple Elio or alien design to bookmark size and laminate or cover it with clear tape for a durable, everyday bookmark. Punching a hole at the top and threading a short ribbon through makes it easy to spot inside a stack of books. Making a small set with different designs gives a reader several to rotate through.
