This Puella Magi Madoka Magica coloring pages collection holds 30 printable designs from the 2011 Shaft anime series, covering all five main magical girls in solo and action poses, the incubator Kyubey, a dedicated chibi set, and several supporting characters from the story. Each design downloads as a printable PDF, or a colorist can work through it right away in the site’s online coloring tool.
What’s Inside This Collection
Madoka Kaname Pages
Madoka, the series’ central character, is drawn with pink twin-tail pigtails tied in white ribbons and a frilled pink-and-white magical girl dress. One tile shows her drawing her magical bow, giving colorists an action pose alongside the more common standing portraits.
Homura Akemi Pages
Homura appears in two distinct looks across this set: her current design, with long straight black hair and a fitted dark purple bodysuit, and an earlier version with short hair and glasses shown in flashback scenes. One tile focuses on a more emotionally open expression rather than her usual composed look.
Sayaka Miki Pages
Sayaka is drawn with short blue-gray hair and a structured cobalt-blue-and-white costume built to look like a knight’s armor rather than a typical dress, reflecting how she sees her own role in the group. A chibi version of Sayaka is included in the set’s simplified-style pages.
Mami Tomoe Pages
Mami’s design is the most ornate of the five, with long golden curls and a wide, ruffled yellow-and-white dress. A chibi redraw simplifies her elaborate outfit into rounder, easier shapes for younger colorists.
Kyoko Sakura Pages
Kyoko wears a long red ponytail and a shorter red-and-black outfit with a more aggressive silhouette than the other girls. A chibi tile captures her in a simplified spear-holding pose.
Kyubey Pages
Kyubey, the small white creature at the center of the story’s central bargain, appears in both a standard design and a simplified “cute” version, marked by pink ear and back markings and a fixed, unreadable expression.
Nagisa Momoe and Charlotte Pages
This smaller group covers Nagisa Momoe in her human form and her witch form, Charlotte, a round white creature with black ring patterns and exaggerated clown-like features, giving the set one design that departs sharply from the magical girls’ softer look.
Supporting Cast and Chibi Pages
Rounding out the collection are Madoka’s parents, Junko and Tomohisa Kaname, the class teacher Kazuko Saotome, Sayaka’s friend Hitomi Shizuki, and Kyosuke Kamijo, alongside a broader chibi set that redraws several of the five leads in simplified form.
What These Pages Do
The American Academy of Pediatrics identifies fine motor skill development as a core benefit of structured coloring for children ages 2 through 7, and this collection’s chibi pages, with their rounder shapes and fewer small details, are the natural starting point for that younger range, while the full-detail magical girl costumes give older colorists a more demanding target.
A 2005 study in the Art Therapy Journal documented measurable reductions in anxiety following structured coloring sessions, and the series’s strict one-color-per-character system gives a colorist a clear, low-pressure plan to follow rather than an open-ended decision on every page.
Working through each magical girl’s soul gem is a small color-matching exercise in itself, since the gem repeats a lighter version of the character’s main color and rewards a colorist who notices and carries that link through the rest of the page.
How to Color Puella Magi Madoka Magica Pages Well
- Madoka: a warm rose-pink for the hair and dress, with pure white for the ribbons and lace trim.
- Homura: true black hair with a subtle cool sheen, and a deep, slightly muted purple for the bodysuit rather than a bright violet.
- Sayaka: a vivid cobalt blue kept distinct from her crisp white armor sections for strong contrast.
- Mami: a rich, warm gold for the hair and dress, balanced with bright white lace so the gold doesn’t read as dull.
- Kyoko: a fully saturated red for the hair as the page’s most vivid element, with a slightly deeper red for the costume.
5 Creative Craft Ideas With Puella Magi Madoka Magica Coloring Pages
1. Five Magical Girls Color Key Poster
Color one portrait of each of the five leads in their correct palette, then mount them together in a row with each character’s name and color scheme labeled underneath.
2. Soul Gem Detail Card
Color a portrait page and pay special attention to the soul gem, using a white gel pen or light pencil for a small highlight on the gem to make it look like a real jewel, then trim it into a character card.
3. Homura Then-and-Now Display
Color both the current and flashback versions of Homura, then mount them side by side to show how her design changes between the two.
4. Chibi Bookmark Set
Color several pages from the chibi set, laminate or cover them with clear tape, and cut each into a bookmark shape for a set that covers all five magical girls.
5. Charlotte Witch Contrast Piece
Color the Charlotte Witch page with bold, high-contrast black, white, and yellow, then frame it next to a softly colored magical girl portrait to show off the series’ two very different visual styles.
