Free Ice Age Coloring Pages: 70+ printable PDF pages covering the whole prehistoric herd across all five films, from Manny the mammoth to Scrat the acorn-obsessed squirrel who never, ever catches a break. You get the main trio, the extended family, the villains, the baby dinos, and yes, plenty of Scrat. All free, download PDF to print, or color online.
What makes this set easy to get into is that each main character has a completely different look. Manny is huge and woolly and brown. Sid is goofy and yellow-green. Diego is sleek and orange with tiger stripes. Scrat is a tiny, scruffy squirrel who is almost always holding an acorn. You know exactly who’s who from the outline alone, which makes choosing colors pretty intuitive once you get the basics down.
With 70+ pages, there’s something for everyone here. Scrat’s solo and duo pages are quick and fun, great for younger kids or anyone who wants a satisfying ten-minute coloring session. The detailed herd group pages with multiple characters packed in together are more of a project, and the dino and villain pages from the later films add some extra variety. Pick whichever sounds good and go from there.
These pages work well at home, in classrooms, or just as fan art. They are fan-made coloring pages and are not official, licensed, or endorsed by Blue Sky Studios, 20th Century Fox, or any rights holder of Ice Age.

What’s Inside Ice Age Coloring Pages
Scrat Pages
Scrat has the most pages in the set, and they span every situation you’d expect: holding an acorn, competing with Scratte, sitting on an acorn, and clutching a branch while the acorn rolls away. He even shows up holding a flag and carrying a fish.
Coloring Scrat: he’s a small, manic squirrel with scrubby brown-red fur, oversized front teeth, and huge terrified eyes. His fur is a warm reddish-brown rather than a cool grey-brown, which is what makes him read as a squirrel rather than a generic cartoon animal. Keep the acorn warm, golden-yellow whenever it appears – it’s basically his co-star and deserves its own solid color.
Manny Pages
Manny shows up in solo pages, with Roshan the baby, with Sid, and in a few action poses.
Coloring Manny: he’s a woolly mammoth, so the key is getting that shaggy coat right. His fur is a warm, slightly reddish dark brown – not black, and not a flat grey-brown. It looks best with some tonal variation so the fur reads as thick and layered rather than flat. His tusks are a creamy off-white, slightly yellowed at the base. His eyes are small, dark, and kind-looking underneath all that woolly bulk.
Sid Pages
Sid has a huge range of pages, from goofy solo poses to hugging Diego, holding a human baby, hanging with baby dinos, and being surrounded by his equally ridiculous extended family.
Coloring Sid: he’s a ground sloth, and his color is a pale, slightly warm yellow-green. Not quite yellow, not quite green, but somewhere in the middle with a soft, unimpressive quality that suits his personality perfectly. His claws are a dull beige. His eyes are half-closed in that classic dim but cheerful expression. Don’t try to make him look sharp or vivid – he’s not that kind of character, and a slightly faded, gentle tone for his fur suits him much better.
Diego Pages
Diego shows up across lots of pages, including solo portraits, a sad variant, hugging Sid, with Crash and Eddie, and falling mid-action.
Coloring Diego: as a saber-tooth tiger, his base color is a warm orange-tan, darker along the back and head, lighter on the belly and chest. His dark spots run in irregular clusters rather than neat lines. His big saber teeth are creamy white, and his eyes are a piercing amber-yellow that carries a lot of expression. The contrast between his warm orange fur and those cool amber eyes is one of the more satisfying color combinations in the whole set.
Shira and Ellie Pages
Shira, the female saber-tooth tiger from Ice Age 4, has her own pages, including one with Diego. Ellie the mammoth shows up with the opossums in a couple of pages.
Coloring Shira and Ellie: Shira is a lighter, cooler version of Diego’s warm orange-tan, with a slightly greyer undertone that distinguishes her immediately from him. Ellie shares the same woolly mammoth coloring as Manny, but with a slightly softer, warmer tone reflecting her gentler personality. Both read best when kept in their established species palette rather than introducing new accent colors.
Crash, Eddie, and Buck Pages
Crash and Eddie, the opossum brothers, appear in duo pages and in scenes with Diego and Ellie. Buck the weasel gets his own pages and dramatic Rudy-facing action scenes.
Coloring Crash, Eddie, and Buck: Crash and Eddie are grey opossums with pinkish ears, noses, and feet – the standard opossum coloring applied to two chaotic brothers who are always getting themselves into trouble. Buck is a scrappy brown weasel with wild energy. All three work best with quick, confident color choices that match their fast-moving, comedic personalities.
Peaches, Baby Dinos, and Rudy Pages
Peaches, the young mammoth, appears in a baby version and an older version. Baby dinos, Momma Dino, and the terrifying Rudy Baryonyx show up from Ice Age 3.
Coloring the dinosaur world pages: the baby dinos are a warm olive-green, small, and surprisingly cute given what they grow into. Momma Dino is the same green family, but much bigger and more imposing. Rudy is a massive albino Baryonyx – he’s almost entirely white, which makes him genuinely unsettling on the page and distinct from every other character in the set. Peaches, like her parents, is woolly and brown, just rounder and smaller.
Printable PDF and Online Ice Age Coloring Pages
Every page is available in two ways: download and print the PDF, or color directly on screen.
Using both formats: print the PDF for crayons, markers, or colored pencils on real paper. Use the on-screen version when printing isn’t an option. The PDF keeps all the prehistoric detail clean on standard letter or A4 paper.
What These Pages Do
A mammoth, a ground sloth, and a saber-tooth tiger would never actually travel together, but Ice Age makes it work by giving each character such a different shape and color that you always know whose page you’re on. Manny’s dark woolly bulk looks nothing like Sid’s pale slouchy frame, which looks nothing like Diego’s lean orange stripes. Scrat takes this furthest of all – you don’t need to see his face to know it’s him. The outline of a scruffy squirrel desperately clinging to an oversized acorn is instantly recognizable from across the room, which is a fun thing to notice. At the same time, coloring: how much of a character lives in their silhouette alone.
Coloring prehistoric animals is a surprisingly fun way for kids to learn what these species actually looked like. Manny’s shaggy brown coat and curved tusks are pretty close to the real woolly mammoth. Diego’s saber teeth are a real feature of Smilodon, the actual prehistoric cat he’s based on. Rudy is based on a real Baryonyx, and his all-white albino design is the film’s own creative touch on top of that real species. None of this has to feel like a lesson – it just comes up naturally when kids ask, “Was that a real animal?” after finishing a page, and the answer is almost always yes, kind of.
The American Art Therapy Association recognizes that coloring prehistoric and animal-based imagery offers an accessible, low-pressure creative activity that works across a wide age range. The Ice Age cast’s mix of simple shapes and detailed textures suits both quick sessions and longer, more immersive ones.
The American Academy of Pediatrics notes that media featuring unlikely friendships and found family can support children’s understanding of belonging across difference. The Ice Age herd’s warmth comes through in these pages just as it does in the films.
How to Color Ice Age Coloring Pages
A few tips for making the most of this set.
Get Scrat’s fur warm and reddish, not cool grey. Grey makes him look like a generic squirrel. A warm reddish-brown gives him that slightly frantic, barely-hanging-on energy that defines him.
Give Manny’s fur some tonal variation. Fill the whole coat with a warm dark brown, then add a slightly lighter or slightly darker layer over the top to suggest thickness. It takes one extra step but makes a big difference on the mammoth pages.
Sid looks best in a quiet, slightly faded yellow-green. Resist the urge to make him bright or vivid. He’s not a bright or vivid kind of sloth, and a more muted tone suits his whole character.
Use Diego’s amber eyes as a focal point. Once his orange fur is in place, the warm yellow-amber eyes against that orange base create a really striking contrast that’s worth taking a moment to do carefully.
On Rudy pages, keep the white stark and clean. He’s meant to look massive and slightly terrifying, and a crisp, unbroken white does that better than any shading or tonal variation would.
5 Creative Craft Ideas with Ice Age Coloring Pages
Scrat Acorn Chase Strip
Color three or four Scrat pages in sequence, then cut each one to a matching width.
Tape them together side by side in a horizontal strip, ordering them so Scrat looks like he’s chasing the acorn from left to right, and hang the strip on a wall. Takes about twenty minutes.
Herd Lineup Banner
Color a small version of Manny, Sid, and Diego, keeping each character clearly distinct in their own palette.
Cut each one out and string them across a length of yarn in order, with Manny in the middle where he belongs. Takes about thirty minutes and makes a nice display for a kid’s room or classroom.
Dino World Versus Ice World Fold-Out
Color one dino scene from Ice Age 3 and one classic herd scene, then fold a piece of card in half.
Glue one scene to each half, so opening the card flips between the two very different worlds the characters end up in across the films. Takes about twenty minutes.
Rudy Scale Comparison Card
Color the Rudy page at full size, then color a small Sid page at roughly half size to suggest how tiny Sid looks next to the enormous Baryonyx.
Cut both out and attach Sid next to Rudy on a backing card so the scale difference between them is obvious. Takes about fifteen minutes.
Crash and Eddie Chaos Cards
Color Crash and Eddie separately on index-sized pages, then write one of their most chaotic moments from the films on the back of each card.
Flip each card over and read the description aloud while holding up the colored front. Takes about fifteen minutes. Takes about fifteen minutes and is a fun activity for kids who know the films well.
FAQ About Ice Age Coloring Pages
Are these Ice Age coloring pages free, and can I color them online?
Yes, all free. Download the PDF to print at home, or color directly on the website without printing.
Does the set include characters from all five Ice Age films, or mainly the first one?
It draws from across the whole series. The original herd, Manny, Sid, Diego, and Scrat, has the most pages, but Ellie, Crash, Eddie, Buck, Shira, Peaches, Rudy, and the baby dinos from later films are all here too.
What is Ice Age?
Ice Age is an animated film series from Blue Sky Studios, starting in 2002. It follows a mammoth, a sloth, and a saber-tooth tiger who form an unlikely herd during the prehistoric ice age. Five films followed over the next two decades, adding mammoths, weasels, opossums, dinosaurs, and pirates to the mix. You can read more on Wikipedia.
Why does Scrat show up so often, and does he ever get his acorn?
Scrat is a saber-toothed squirrel who has been chasing a single acorn across all five films, multiple short films, and even a theme park ride, almost always failing at the last second. He barely has any dialogue, but he’s become the most recognizable character from the series. Whether he ever truly gets to keep his acorn is something the films have lots of fun answering differently every time.
What colors should I use for Manny, Sid, and Diego?
Manny is a warm, dark reddish-brown mammoth with creamy off-white tusks. Sid is a pale, slightly washed-out yellow-green sloth with beige claws. Diego is a warm orange-tan tiger with dark brown spots and amber-yellow eyes. Keep Manny dark, Sid muted, and Diego vivid, and you’ll have the trio reading clearly together.
Who are Shira and Buck, and which films are they from?
Shira is a female saber-tooth tiger who appears in Ice Age 4: Continental Drift and ends up becoming part of the herd. She’s a cooler, lighter version of Diego’s orange tan. Buck is a wild, eye-patch-wearing weasel who first appears in Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, living alone in the dinosaur world beneath the ice. He’s scrappy, brown, and completely unhinged in the best way.
Are these official Ice Age coloring pages?
No. These are fan-made coloring sheets for personal use only, not affiliated with or endorsed by Blue Sky Studios or 20th Century Fox.
What is Rudy Baryonyx, and how do you color a prehistoric dinosaur?
Rudy is a massive albino Baryonyx, a large prehistoric theropod dinosaur, who serves as the main threat in Ice Age 3. He’s based on a real dinosaur species but given an all-white albino design that makes him look especially dramatic. Keep his white clean and stark, skip any shading or warm tones, and let his size do the intimidating work on the page.

A few things that make the biggest difference across this set: keep Scrat’s fur warm reddish-brown, give Manny’s coat some tonal layering rather than a flat fill, and keep Rudy stark white with no shading. Those three choices will take your pages from fine to great.
