Free Home Coloring Pages: 25 printable PDF designs from DreamWorks’ alien road-trip comedy, starring Oh, the bumbling Boov in happy, cute, angry, and panicked moods, the brave girl Tip and her chubby cat Pig, Tip’s mother Lucy Tucci, the vain Boov leader Captain Smek, Oh’s officer neighbor Kyle, and a crowd of purple Boov. Duo, trio, and four-character pages show Oh and Tip’s unlikely friendship. Free PDF versions are included for home printing, and each sheet can be shaded digitally, too.
Home opened in American theaters on March 27, 2015. Directed by Tim Johnson for DreamWorks Animation and released by 20th Century Fox, it adapts Adam Rex’s 2007 children’s book The True Meaning of Smekday. The cowardly Boov invade Earth to hide from their enemies, the Gorg, and move every human to Australia, but a 12-year-old named Tip and an outcast Boov called Oh team up to find her missing mother. Jim Parsons voices Oh, Rihanna voices Tip, Steve Martin voices Captain Smek, and Jennifer Lopez voices Lucy. The film earned about $386 million worldwide and led to the Netflix series Home: Adventures with Tip and Oh.
Oh’s round head and six stubby legs make him one of the easiest movie characters to color, so the solo Oh and Pig pages are ideal for small children. Pages pairing Tip and Oh add hair, clothing, and two contrasting palettes, and the group sheets with Lucy, Kyle, and the Boov crowd give older kids more characters to keep track of.
What’s Inside This Collection
Fourteen of the 25 titles name Oh, and 10 name Tip, with Pig, Lucy, Captain Smek, Kyle, and the Boov filling the remaining spots.
Oh
Oh, smiles, panics, gets angry, looks cute, and poses alone in several portraits. Fill Oh with a pale Orchid or light Purple and deepen the edges with Violet, his large eyes Green, and his mouth a deep Plum.
Tip
Tip appears solo, with Oh, with Pig, and with her mother. Give her dark Brown skin, curly Black hair with a Mahogany shine, and a casual outfit in Teal or Orange so she pops beside Oh.
Tip, Oh, Pig, and Lucy Together
Pages showing Tip, Pig, Oh, and Lucy Tucci celebrate the family reunion at the heart of the story. Keep each character’s colors consistent across pages, and add warm Yellow or Pink highlights to make these scenes feel cheerful.
Captain Smek and Kyle
Captain Smek appears in two pages, including a funny one, and Kyle has his own portrait and a page with the Boov. Use Lavender for both Boov, add a tall gray-and-Gold hat and a decorative staff for Smek, and give Kyle a slightly different shade like Periwinkle.
Pig the Cat and Boov Crowd
Pig Cat, Tip and Pig, and Oh and Pig spotlight Tip’s cat, while The Boov page shows a group of aliens. Fill Pig with Cream and light Gray fur and a short, stubby tail, and try different purples and pinks for the crowd of Boov so each one stands out.
What Home Coloring Pages Do
Learning about friendship across differences. Tip and Oh start as enemies but become best friends by learning about each other. Coloring their pages helps children talk about accepting people who look or act differently. Children can then describe a friendship that surprised them.
Strengthening hand control. Children from 2 to 7 build the finger strength needed for writing through coloring, the same years American Academy of Pediatrics milestones mark as the lead-in to handwriting. Oh’s round body is perfect for beginners, while Tip’s curls and the group scenes give older children more detail to practice.
Calming feelings. Adults reported less anxiety after structured coloring in a research article published in the Art Therapy Journal in 2005. Because Oh changes color as his feelings shift, his pages open gentle conversations about emotions. Coloring one page quietly can help a child settle down after a busy day.
Understanding emotions through color. Boov skin shifts color with their mood, such as red for anger or green when telling a lie. Kids can color Oh in different shades to match how he feels on each page. This turns coloring into an easy lesson about naming emotions.
How to Color Home Pages Well
- Smooth purple skin: Color Oh with light pressure first, then build darker Violet near the edges for a rounded look.
- Emotion colors: Try coloring Angry Oh in Red and Oh Panic in Yellow to show his mood like the Boov do in the movie.
- Big green eyes: Keep a small, uncolored dot near the top of each eye so Oh looks bright and alert.
- Tip’s curls: Use small circular strokes for her hair, adding a few lighter Brown highlights.
- Pig’s fur: Use short strokes in Cream and light Gray to make the cat look soft.
- Space backgrounds: Add a dark Blue night sky with stars and colorful Boov bubbles for a sci-fi look.
