Mr. Peabody & Sherman coloring pages: 40+ free printable PDF designs featuring Mr. Peabody, Sherman, Penny Peterson, Marie Antoinette, Egyptian scenes, and the WABAC time machine from the 2014 DreamWorks animated film. Every page is available to download as a PDF or color directly in the browser, with no account or payment required.
Mr. Peabody & Sherman is a DreamWorks animated film based on the “Peabody’s Improbable History” segments of the classic 1960s cartoon The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show. The film follows Mr. Peabody, a genius dog who has invented a time machine called the WABAC, and his adopted human son Sherman, as they travel through history and attempt to repair a tear in the space-time continuum. Directed by Rob Minkoff, it features the voices of Ty Burrell, Max Charles, and Ariel Winter.
These pages are popular with fans of the film, DreamWorks animation fans, and families looking for coloring pages that combine characters with historical settings. They work well as a standalone activity, as part of a DreamWorks collection, or as a creative complement to learning about historical periods the film visits: ancient Egypt, Renaissance Florence, and the Trojan War.
What makes this set unlike any other on the site is that roughly half the pages are set in real historical locations. Coloring Sherman in Ancient Egypt, or Peabody and Sherman caught in Egypt, is not just a character page. It invites the question of what ancient Egyptian clothing, architecture, and color actually looked like. That is a research question built into the image, and no other coloring set in this collection offers that same invitation.

What’s Inside Mr. Peabody & Sherman Coloring Pages
The set divides into character portraits, scenes from the film’s New York City setting, and pages from the historical periods the WABAC visits.
Mr. Peabody Pages
Mr. Peabody appears in seven solo or near-solo pages: Mr. Peabody, Mr. Peabody Smiling, Mr. Peabody Face, Mr. Peabody Reading a Book, Cute Mr. Peabody, Mr. Peabody Connect the Dots, and Mr. Peabody Studying Egypt.
Coloring Mr. Peabody: Mr. Peabody is a white beagle wearing a red bow tie and glasses. His fur is bright white, which creates an unusual challenge: his bow tie and glasses are his only real color accents. The bow tie is a clear, saturated red, and the glasses are a simple dark grey or black frame. Because his fur is white, the background and any clothing items he is wearing become the primary color decisions on any Peabody page.
When Peabody appears in business or formal contexts, he wears a suit. The suit is typically depicted in a warm cream or light tan rather than bright white, which creates a subtle distinction between his fur and his clothing. Getting that distinction right is the key detail on formal Peabody pages.
Sherman Pages
Sherman appears in eight pages: Sherman solo, Sherman Face, Sherman In School, Happy Sherman, Happy Sherman with Mr. Peabody, Cool Sherman, and two connect-the-dots pages.
Coloring Sherman: Sherman is a seven-year-old boy with round glasses, brown hair, and a warm tan skin tone. He wears a white dress shirt and red tie that mirror Mr. Peabody’s bow tie, reinforcing the visual bond between them. His pages are among the simplest in the set in terms of color complexity, which makes them well-suited to younger colorists.
Penny Peterson Pages
Penny appears in several pages, including Penny Peterson, Penny in School, Penny Connect the Dots, and in multiple group scenes.
Coloring Penny: Penny has curly orange-red hair and blue eyes. She wears a yellow-orange dress in her school scenes, which becomes the most vivid warm color on any page she shares with the blue-and-white palette of the WABAC or the earth tones of the Egyptian scenes. On Angry Penny pages, her expression is the focal point and deserves careful attention to the eyebrows and mouth.
Historical Scene Pages
The Egypt pages (Peabody And Sherman Egyptians, Peabody And Sherman Caught In Egypt, Sherman And Penny In Egypt, Mr. Peabody Studying Egypt) and the paired WABAC pages place characters inside the film’s historical settings.
Coloring the Egypt pages: ancient Egyptian scenes call for the warmest part of any palette: ochre, sand, terracotta, and warm gold for the architecture and clothing. Egyptian garments were primarily white linen in reality, with colored decorative borders and jewelry. Gold and lapis blue (a deep, rich blue) are the most historically accurate accent colors for Egyptian jewelry and headdresses. Using these warm earth tones as the background palette makes the characters, especially Peabody’s white fur, read clearly in contrast.
Marie Antoinette Pages
Marie Antoinette appears in two pages: a solo portrait and a scene with Sherman.
Coloring Marie Antoinette: the film depicts Marie Antoinette in an elaborate powdered wig and gown consistent with French Rococo court fashion of the 1770s. Her wig is white or pale grey, her gown is typically a pastel blue or pale pink, and the overall palette of these pages is the most ornate and delicate in the set. Fine details in the lace and fabric of her gown reward patient, careful work with thin markers or colored pencils.
WABAC and Scene Pages
Time Machine – Mr. Peabody and Sherman, Sherman and Penny In The Wabac, and Mr. Peabody and Sherman driving place the characters in or around the WABAC itself.
Coloring the WABAC: the WABAC is a large, rounded time machine in a warm orange-bronze metallic color, with a circular door and various control elements. It looks like a cross between a retro spacecraft and an old-fashioned safe. Orange-bronze or copper tones work best for its exterior, with darker brown for panel lines and control details.
Group and Paired Pages
Multiple pages pair Peabody with Sherman, Sherman with Penny, and all three together across a wide range of scenes and poses.
Coloring group pages: the visual hierarchy on most group pages is Peabody (white) anchored against Sherman (warm skin, white shirt, red tie) and Penny (orange hair, yellow-orange dress). Working from lightest to darkest in the group (Peabody first, then Sherman, then Penny) keeps the page from muddying.
Printable PDF and Online Mr. Peabody & Sherman Coloring Pages
Every page is available as a printable PDF or for coloring in the browser. The historical scene pages with multiple figures, especially the Egypt and Marie Antoinette pages, reward the control of a printed session with colored pencils or fine markers.
What These Pages Do
Most animation coloring pages have one right answer for every color: Elsa is blue, Simba is gold, done. Mr. Peabody & Sherman is different. When a child sits down with the Egypt pages, the question of what colors ancient Egyptian ceremonial clothing, jewelry, and architecture should be has a real answer that rewards looking up. The film was designed as a history classroom, and the coloring pages carry that same invitation.
UNESCO has documented that project-based learning, where children solve a concrete problem using real-world knowledge, improves retention more than passive study. Coloring a historically grounded scene with accurate detail is exactly that kind of activity.
The AAP notes that activities combining creative work with real-world knowledge-seeking support cognitive development more effectively than either alone.
Art therapy practitioners recognize that familiar animated characters placed in unfamiliar historical settings invite deeper imaginative engagement than purely contemporary scenes do.
How to Color Mr. Peabody & Sherman Coloring Pages Well
Mr. Peabody’s suit needs to be a different white from his fur. His fur is cool, bright white. His suit, when visible, reads as warm cream or ivory. Using a warm off-white or very light tan for any clothing on Peabody creates the distinction that makes him look formally dressed rather than naked.
Sherman’s red tie mirrors Peabody’s red bow tie. Keep them the same red. The matching red accessories are a visual shorthand for their bond. Using the same crayon or pencil for both, wherever both appear in the same frame, reinforces that intentional design choice.
For Egypt pages, resist modern colors. The palette of ancient Egypt is built from the earth: ochres, sand tones, warm golds, and the occasional deep lapis blue and emerald green for jewelry. Cool greys, bright modern blues, and synthetic-looking colors break the historical atmosphere of these pages.
Marie Antoinette’s pages are the most detail-heavy in the set. The lace trim on her gown, the curls in her wig, the decorative elements of her collar: these are the most ornate linework in the entire collection. Taking time with a fine-tip marker or sharp colored pencil for the detail areas, and using broader tools for the large flat areas of fabric, gives the best results.
On connect-the-dots pages, complete the dots before adding color. Both Peabody and Sherman have connect-the-dots versions. Finishing the dot connection with a thin dark pencil before adding color keeps the number sequence visible and results in cleaner outlines.
5 Creative Craft Ideas with Mr. Peabody & Sherman Coloring Pages
History Timeline Display
Color the three historical scene pages, Egypt, the da Vinci period (Sherman with Peabody), and Marie Antoinette, and mount them in chronological order. Write the year and location under each: “Egypt, 1332 BCE,” “Florence, 1508,” “France, 1770s.”
A display that turns the film’s premise into a visual timeline. Takes about forty-five minutes across all three pages.
Peabody and Sherman Matched Pair
Color Mr. Peabody and a solo Sherman page as a matched pair, keeping the red bow tie and red tie in the same shade. Mount them side by side with “Mr. Peabody” and “Sherman” written underneath.
A display that shows the visual bond between the two characters. Takes about twenty minutes.
Egyptian Costume Research Project
Before coloring any Egypt page, look up “ancient Egyptian clothing colors” and “ancient Egyptian jewelry colors.” Use what you find to color the page as accurately as possible, then write three facts you learned on the back of the page.
The coloring activity becomes a research project that the film itself invites. Takes about thirty minutes.
Connect the Dots Pair
Complete both the Mr. Peabody and Sherman connect-the-dots pages and color them together as a matched set.
A two-page activity that works well for slightly younger colorists who enjoy the additional challenge of the dot sequence. Takes about twenty minutes.
WABAC Poster
Color the Time Machine page as a standalone poster, giving the WABAC its copper-bronze metallic look and adding a starfield or time-vortex effect in the background using deep blues and purples.
The WABAC is the most mechanical and design-forward image in the set. Treated as a poster rather than a character page, it becomes a graphic art project. Takes about twenty minutes.

Who is Mr. Peabody?
Mr. Peabody is an anthropomorphic white beagle who is described as the most intelligent being in the world.

What is the WABAC?
The WABAC is Mr. Peabody’s time machine. Its name is an acronym, though its precise meaning was never confirmed in either the original cartoon or the film. The machine appears as a large, rounded, bronze-colored vehicle with a circular door and control panels. In the film, Sherman takes it without permission to impress Penny, accidentally creating a tear in the space-time continuum that drives the main plot.
What historical periods does the film visit?
The film takes Peabody, Sherman, and Penny to three main historical settings: ancient Egypt around 1332 BCE, where Penny becomes briefly engaged to the young Pharaoh Tutankhamun; Renaissance Florence in 1508, where they meet Leonardo da Vinci; and the Trojan War around 1184 BCE.
Who voices Mr. Peabody?
