Free Iwájú coloring pages: 16 printable PDF designs inspired by the Disney+ animated series, featuring its two young leads and the futuristic Lagos setting around them. The PDF for any page downloads with a single click, and the online coloring tool carries the identical design for anyone coloring without a printer.
The set moves between the show’s two young leads and the futuristic city around them, so the groupings below split along that same line. Iwájú is a six-episode animated series from Walt Disney Animation Studios and the Pan-African entertainment company Kugali, which premiered on Disney+ on February 28, 2024. Set in a reimagined, futuristic Lagos, Nigeria, it follows Tola, a girl from a wealthy part of the city, and her best friend Kole, a self-taught tech expert, as they navigate the different worlds they come from. The coloring pages in this set draw on that setting, character portraits alongside scenes filled with the city’s imagined technology and architecture.
Sixteen pages moving between character portraits and futuristic city scenery give this set enough range for fans to color a favorite character one session and the world around them the next.
What Is Inside This Collection
Character Portraits
Several pages focus on Tola and Kole individually, giving a colorer a clear, simple figure to work with rather than a full background scene.
Futuristic Lagos Settings and Technology
Another group widens out to the city itself, imagined buildings, vehicles, and technology that give the series its distinct science-fiction take on Lagos.
Simple Standalone Designs
The remaining pages present a more basic, uncluttered take on the series’ visual style, suited to a colorer who wants a quicker, less detailed page.
What Iwájú Coloring Pages Do
Fine motor development. Children ages 2 through 7 gain measurably in fine motor skills from structured coloring, a link the American Academy of Pediatrics draws directly, and the intricate technological details throughout these futuristic scenes give a young hand plenty of small shapes to work through.
Exposure to a real, culturally specific setting. Because Iwájú’s futuristic Lagos draws directly on real Nigerian culture and architecture rather than a generic sci-fi backdrop, coloring these pages gives a child a small window into a specific, real place reimagined for the future.
Anxiety reduction through focus. A 2005 Art Therapy Journal study linked structured coloring sessions to a real drop in anxiety, and settling into the detailed linework of an imagined future city gives that calming focus a genuinely absorbing subject to sit with.
A fan activity that extends beyond watching. For a child who has watched the series, coloring its characters and settings gives them a hands-on way to keep engaging with a story they already enjoy.
How to Color Iwájú Pages Well
- Character skin tones: Use a range of Crayola’s brown and tan skin-tone shades to match the diversity of characters shown throughout the series rather than defaulting to a single tone.
- Futuristic technology: Color, mechanical, and tech elements in Crayola Silver, Gray, or Turquoise, since cooler metallic tones read clearly as advanced technology against a warmer city backdrop.
- City architecture: Blend warm Crayola Raw Sienna and Tan for traditional-style buildings with cooler Crayola Sky Blue or Silver for the more futuristic structures, capturing the contrast between old and new that defines the setting.
- Clothing and fabric: Look to bold, patterned West African textile traditions for inspiration, using bright combinations like Crayola Scarlet, Yellow Orange, and Green together on a single garment.
- Sky and atmosphere: Use a warm Crayola Yellow, Orange, or Apricot for a sunset-lit skyline, or a cooler Crayola Sky Blue for a daytime scene, to set the mood of a wider city page.
- Vehicles and transport: Keep futuristic vehicles in sleek, uniform color blocks, one or two main tones per vehicle, so they read clearly against a busier city background.
5 Creative Craft Ideas With Iwájú Coloring Pages
1. Iwájú Bookmark
Color one of the simpler character or city pages and cut it into a narrow bookmark shape. Laminate or cover with clear contact paper for durability. The finished bookmark makes an easy, small gift for another fan of the series.
2. Futuristic Lagos Fact Card
Color one of the city scene pages and mount it on a sheet of paper. Write two or three real facts about the series underneath, such as its setting or the studios behind it. The finished card pairs the coloring activity with a small piece of trivia.
3. Character Greeting Card
Color a portrait of Tola or Kole and trim it to fit the front of a folded piece of cardstock. Write a message inside for a friend who also enjoys the series. The card works well for a birthday or any small occasion.
4. Story Sequence Booklet
Color several pages in an order that suggests a short sequence, a character page followed by a city scene. Bind the pages together along one edge. The finished booklet reads like a simple visual retelling in pictures.
5. Futuristic City Collage
Color a few of the technology and architecture pages and cut out the individual buildings or vehicles. Arrange and glue the cutouts onto a larger sheet of paper to build one combined skyline. The collage turns separate pages into a single imagined cityscape.
