What’s Inside Piggly Wiggly Coloring Pages
The set is structured around contexts rather than characters: one mascot, 31 different situations. The pages divide naturally into holidays, sports, and everyday activity categories.
Holiday and Seasonal Pages
Seven pages cover major American holidays and seasonal observances: Thanksgiving, Christmas (two pages), Halloween, Easter (two pages), St. Patrick’s Day, Presidents Day, and Memorial Day.
Coloring the holiday pages: each holiday page uses the mascot in costume or seasonal context, making the color palette choices different for every page.
On Thanksgiving pages: warm harvest tones, deep orange, golden yellow, and brown work naturally alongside the standard mascot pink. The Piggly Wiggly mascot is a warm pink pig: distinctly pink rather than peach or pale, and warm rather than cool.
On Christmas pages: the Santa Piggly Wiggly uses the classic red-and-white Santa palette against the mascot’s pink. A vivid warm red for the suit, crisp white for the trim, and the signature pink for the pig’s face and ears.
On Halloween pages: the orange-and-black Halloween palette provides the strongest color contrast of the holiday set. The mascot’s pink works as an unexpected warm accent in a traditionally cool and dark palette, which is what makes Halloween Piggly Wiggly pages visually interesting.
On Easter pages: soft pastels (pale yellows, light greens, lavender, and baby blue) frame the standard warm pink of the mascot. The Easter page showing Piggly Wiggly giving an egg to a rabbit adds a second character, a grey-white bunny, creating a warm-cool color pair.
Sports Pages
Five pages show the mascot playing different sports: baseball, American football, basketball, soccer, and hockey.
Coloring the sports pages: each sport has standard equipment colors that provide a clear palette guide.
Baseball: white uniform with colored team detail, brown leather glove, natural wood bat. Football: traditional team colors or a standard red-and-white scheme, brown ball. Basketball: typically an orange ball, a wooden court tone. Soccer: green field, black-and-white ball. Hockey: white jersey, dark blue or black trim, silver-grey skates, and a stick.
On all sports pages, the mascot’s warm pink reads as the face and skin color while the uniform takes the sport-specific palette. Keeping the uniform colors accurate to the sport makes each page immediately recognizable as its specific game.
Activity and Everyday Pages
The remaining pages cover everyday scenarios: shopping with two children, eating ice cream, using a computer, selling fruit, working as a farmer, dressed as a cowboy, holding sauce and sausage, with flowers, with a car and cup, with a giant tomato, and an anniversary page.
Coloring the activity pages: The activity pages have the most color freedom in the set, as there are no fixed costumes or seasonal palettes to follow. The shopping page, showing the mascot with two children, works well with the children in contrasting colors to the mascot’s pink. The farmer page uses earth tones: green field, brown soil, natural straw, or denim for farming attire. The cowboy page uses a traditional western palette: tan and brown for leather, denim for jeans, warm red or navy for a bandana. The giant tomato page is one of the most colorfully simple in the set: vivid red tomato, green stem, warm pink pig.

What These Pages Do
Before Piggly Wiggly opened in 1916, buying groceries meant standing at a counter while a clerk retrieved items from behind it. Clarence Saunders changed this by developing a way for shoppers to serve themselves, introducing shopping baskets, open shelves organized into aisles, and checkout stands. The concept was patented in 1917, and by 1932, the company operated 2,660 stores with annual sales exceeding $180 million. Every grocery store in the world that uses open shelves and self-checkout is using a model that started with one store on Jefferson Street in Memphis.
The pig mascot that represents the brand in these 31 pages has been part of American retail culture since the 1920s, appearing at seasonal promotions, community events, and on grocery bags across the South and Midwest. Coloring through this set is working through a slice of that calendar: the same mascot at Thanksgiving, at Halloween, at Easter, playing baseball and hockey, shopping and farming. For younger children, the pages function as a visual tour of American holidays and community activities with a familiar, friendly face in each one.
The AAP notes that coloring activities featuring recognizable holiday and seasonal contexts help young children build awareness of the calendar year, seasonal cycles, and community traditions, supporting early cultural literacy alongside creative practice.
Art therapy practitioners note that mascot and character coloring sets featuring a consistent, warm, friendly face across a variety of safe and familiar contexts are particularly well-suited for younger children who benefit from predictability and recognizability in their coloring activities.
How to Color Piggly Wiggly Coloring Pages
The mascot’s pink is warm and distinctly pink, not pale. The Piggly Wiggly pig reads best in a warm, medium pink rather than a very pale blush or a cool magenta. A warm pink that sits between peach and rose keeps the mascot recognizable across every page in the set, regardless of the surrounding holiday or activity palette.
Read the context of each page before starting. Unlike a single-character set where the palette is fixed, Piggly Wiggly’s costume and props change on every page. Taking a moment to identify the holiday or activity before selecting colors helps avoid coloring a Thanksgiving page in Christmas reds or a Halloween page in Easter pastels.
Sports pages work best when the uniform color is accurate to the sport. The most immediately satisfying sports pages are those where the uniform color is recognizable: white for baseball, team colors for football and basketball, black-and-white for soccer. Accurate, uniform choices make the sport identifiable at a glance and add a knowledge-based layer to the coloring choice.
Holiday pages can be matched to the real holiday colors. Building the entire set as a seasonal calendar and coloring each page close to its actual holiday makes a collected display that moves through the year alongside the real calendar.

Piggly Wiggly is an American grocery store chain founded by Clarence Saunders on September 6, 1916, in Memphis, Tennessee.

The self-service format patented by Saunders in 1917 became the model for virtually every grocery store that followed.

What is the Piggly Wiggly mascot?

It is closely tied to the regional identity of communities where Piggly Wiggly stores are located, particularly across the American South.
Why is it called Piggly Wiggly?
The origin of the name remains a mystery. Founder Clarence Saunders was notably reluctant to explain it.
