Free Monsters vs Aliens Coloring Pages: 44 printable PDF designs of the DreamWorks monster squad, featuring Susan Murphy, the jelly blob BOB, the brilliant Dr. Cockroach, the swaggering Missing Link, and the gigantic grub Insectosaurus, along with the alien villain Gallaxhar, his giant robot probe, General W.R. Monger, and President Hathaway. Print each design from its PDF or fill in the outlines on a tablet or laptop.
Monsters vs Aliens is a 2009 DreamWorks Animation comedy in which Susan Murphy is struck by a meteorite on her wedding day and grows to nearly 50 feet tall. Captured by the government and renamed Ginormica, she joins a secret team of monsters, and together they are sent to stop Gallaxhar, an alien determined to take over Earth. Reese Witherspoon voices Susan, with Seth Rogen as BOB and Hugh Laurie as Dr. Cockroach.
The monster team is a playful tribute to classic science fiction films, and each member has a wildly different body shape. That variety, from a giant woman to a one-eyed blob to a fish-ape, means no two pages in this set call for the same coloring approach.
What’s Inside This Collection
Susan and her fellow monsters carry the bulk of the 44 designs, with Gallaxhar, his robots, and the humans filling out the rest.
Susan Murphy as Ginormica
Susan appears in portraits, standing up to a robot, with her groom, and with her monster friends. Color her hair bright White, her skin a natural tone, and her outfit in bold colors that pop against city backgrounds.
BOB and Dr. Cockroach
BOB appears kind, with a robot, and with his teammates, while Dr. Cockroach shows up in his lab coat and even as a bartender. Fill BOB with a translucent Cerulean blue, and give Dr. Cockroach a Brown head and a White lab coat.
The Missing Link and Insectosaurus
The Missing Link poses alone and with the team, and Insectosaurus towers over Susan in several pages. Use Sea Green and Gray for the Missing Link’s scales, and soft Tan with Orange accents for Insectosaurus.
Gallaxhar and the Giant Robot
The villain, Gallaxhar, and his huge robot probe bring the alien threat. Purple and Lavender suit Gallaxhar’s tentacled head, while the robot looks menacing in Black and Silver with glowing Red eyes.
General Monger, President Hathaway, and Group Scenes
General Monger and the president appear alongside team pages and battle scenes. Khaki and Green work for the general’s military look, and Navy Blue fits the president’s suit.
What Monsters vs Aliens Coloring Pages Do
Celebrating being different. Every member of the monster team is unusual, yet each one has a special strength that helps save the world. Coloring the team pages invites kids to talk about how differences can be a source of power instead of something to hide. Susan’s journey from a nervous bride to a confident hero is especially easy to discuss.
Practicing with unusual shapes. Fine motor control in children 2 to 7 is strengthened through structured coloring, a hand skill that sits among the core early milestones tracked by the American Academy of Pediatrics materials. BOB’s round, gooey body, Dr. Cockroach’s antennae, and the robot’s detailed parts offer a wide range of shapes, from simple blobs to tricky machinery. Kids can start with BOB and work up to the robot pages.
A silly, relaxing activity. Calmer moods after structured coloring were reported in a 2005 Art Therapy Journal research, and the goofy humor of this movie makes coloring even more lighthearted. Pages like Kind BOB or Dr. Cockroach as a bartender add a smile to any coloring session. They work well as a quick, cheerful break.
Exploring classic monster movies. Each monster is inspired by famous science fiction films, such as giant-woman movies, blob movies, and creature features. Older kids and parents can talk about these film classics and how the movie gives them a fresh, funny twist. It is a fun way to introduce film history in a kid-friendly way.
How to Color Monsters vs Aliens Pages Well
- Gooey BOB: Color BOB in Cerulean, leaving several white spots to suggest a shiny, jelly-like surface. A darker Blue along his edges adds depth.
- Ginormica’s hair: Leave Susan’s hair mostly white with very light Gray shading. Her bright white hair is her signature look after the transformation.
- Dr. Cockroach: Use Brown for his head and antennae, and White with Gray shading for his lab coat.
- The Missing Link’s scales: Use Sea Green with darker Green lines for scales. Add Orange to his fins for contrast.
- Robot details: Color the robot Black and Silver, adding Red for its eye and lights. Small highlights make metal look shiny.
- City backgrounds: For battle scenes, add Gray skyscrapers and a dramatic Orange or Purple sky.
