Sword in the Stone Coloring Pages

Free Sword in the Stone Coloring Pages: 30+ printable PDF pages featuring Merlin the wizard, Wart and Arthur, Archimedes the owl, Madam Mim in her standard and dragon forms, Sir Ector, Kay, the Girl Squirrel, and the Excalibur sword in Stone. All free, download PDF to print, or color online.

Three palettes define the set. Merlin is cool, blue-grey robes, a long white beard, and a pointed hat in the same blue-grey: quiet, considered, and built for wisdom rather than drama. Madam Mim is vivid purple from hair to dress, loud and theatrical, the visual opposite of Merlin across every axis. Wart sits between them: plain tan-brown medieval clothing, warm skin, an ordinary boy’s palette with nothing magical about it. Their contrast is the film’s visual argument, and every page with more than one of these three works the same way.

The pages are divided into two types. Portrait and relationship pages, Merlin with Archimedes, Arthur and Merlin, Wart cleaning, Sir Ector and Arthur, the Girl Squirrel, ask you to get each character’s palette exactly right. Transformation and object pages, Madam Mim Dragon, Arthur with Excalibur Sword, the Sword in the Stone, shift the focus to a dramatic change of form or a standalone object with its own coloring logic. Simpler portrait and sword pages suit younger children; the detailed Madam Mim dragon and wizard duel pages give older fans more to work through.

These pages work well at home or as fan art for any viewer of the film. These are fan-made coloring pages and are not official, licensed, or endorsed by Disney or any rights holder of The Sword in the Stone franchise.

What’s Inside Sword in the Stone Coloring Pages

Merlin Coloring Pages

Merlin is the most represented character in the set, appearing in solo and scene pages: Merlin the Wizard, Merlin from the Sword in the Stone, Merlin Sword in the Stone, The Sword in the Stone Merlin, Sword in the Stone Merlin, Merlin with Sir Ector, Merlin with Archimedes, Merlin and Arthur, Arthur with Merlin, and Arthur and Merlin.

Coloring Merlin: Merlin’s robes are a cool blue-grey, and his pointed hat is the same tone. His long beard is white, his skin is pale and aged, and his eyes carry a sharp, knowing expression. The blue-grey robe is the dominant element: keep it genuinely cool rather than warm grey, so it reads as the color of a rational mind rather than mere old cloth. His white beard provides the natural contrast within the figure, and a pale blue-grey shadow in the beard’s folds gives it texture without competing with the robe.

Wart and Arthur Coloring Pages

Wart, the boy who becomes King Arthur, appears in solo and scene pages: Wart, Wart cleaning, Wart holding the Sword, Arthur, Arthur with Merlin, Arthur with Excalibur Sword, Arthur and Sir Ector, and Arthur and Merlin.

Coloring Wart: Wart’s palette is deliberately plain. He wears simple medieval clothing in warm tan-brown, his skin is a warm light tone, and his hair is dark. Nothing about his design signals royalty or magic: he is the most ordinary-looking character in the set by design, so the moment he pulls the Sword carries all the weight. On sword pages, the gleaming metallic Sword in his hand is the visual transformation: keep Wart’s palette muted so the Sword reads as the page’s most luminous element.

Archimedes Coloring Pages

Archimedes, Merlin’s talking owl and reluctant tutor, appears in three pages: Archimedes, Cute Archimedes, and Merlin with Archimedes.

Coloring Archimedes: Archimedes is a great horned owl in warm brown with darker brown barring on his wings and back, pale cream on his chest and face, and bright yellow eyes. His expression is the whole character: superior, impatient, and faintly appalled by most of what Wart does. Keep the chest cream genuinely pale so it contrasts with the warm brown wings, and make the yellow eyes sharp and clear so his expression reads at any size.

Madam Mim Coloring Pages

Madam Mim, the film’s witch villain, appears in six pages: Madam Mim, Funny Madam Mim, Happy Madam Mim, Madam Mim Printable, Madam Mim with Merlin, and Madam Mim Dragon.

Coloring Madam Mim: Mim’s palette is all vivid purple: her wild hair, her billowing dress, and her general energy are all in the same warm-purple register. Her skin is a slightly sallow yellow-green, her eyes are small and gleaming, and her teeth are irregular and yellowish. On standard pages, the full purple works best when the whole figure is committed to it: do not tone down the purple to avoid looking garish. On the Madam Mim Dragon page, her transformation shifts from purple to a warm grey-green dragon body with dark green accents and orange-red eyes: the most dramatic single-page color shift in the set.

Sir Ector and Kay Pages

Sir Ector appears in two pages: Sir Ector and Arthur, and Sir Ector. Kay, his son, and Arthur’s foster brother appear in Kay with Arthur.

Coloring Sir Ector and Kay: Sir Ector is a large, imposing figure in a warm ochre-yellow tunic with a brown belt and dark trousers: the classic feudal lord look in warm earthy tones. Kay is younger, similar in build to his father, and wears a comparable warm earth-tone outfit. The duo of Kay with Arthur shows the contrast between Kay’s fuller, more confident look and Wart’s plain tunic: keep Kay’s tones a shade richer than Wart’s to suggest the difference in their status.

Girl Squirrel Pages

The Girl Squirrel, a woodland squirrel who falls in love with Wart during his squirrel transformation, appears in two pages: Girl Squirrel and Happy Little Girl Squirrel.

Coloring the Girl Squirrel: the Girl Squirrel is a warm reddish-brown with a pale cream belly and a large, expressive, fluffy tail. Her wide eyes and round face carry her character: devoted, gentle, and slightly heartbreaking by the end of the scene. Keep the body a vivid reddish-brown, warmer than a standard grey squirrel, and the cream belly pale to create the soft contrast that makes her endearing.

Sword and Object Pages

Five pages focus on the Excalibur sword and the Stone: The Sword in the Stone, Excalibur Sword, Arthur with Excalibur Sword, Sword in the Stone Printable, and Sword in the Stone for Kids.

Coloring the Sword and Stone: the Excalibur sword is the film’s most important single object, and coloring it is a metallic surface challenge. Use a light silver at the top of the blade, transitioning to a slightly darker silver on the sides, with a bright highlight along the sharpest edge. The Stone is grey granite with darker grey cracks and a slightly rough texture: a warm mid-grey base with cooler shadow tones in the recesses. Keep the Sword brighter than the Stone so the two read as different materials.

Printable PDF and Online Sword in the Stone Coloring Pages

Every design comes in two ways: a printable PDF for paper, or the same artwork colored on screen.

Using both formats: print the PDF when you want a clean sheet for pencils, markers, or crayons, and use the on-screen version when there is no printer nearby. The PDF holds the film’s expressive character linework and the sword detail pages cleanly on standard letter or A4 paper.

What These Pages Do

The Sword in the Stone is a film about the difference between what a person looks like and what they are capable of, and coloring through this set makes that argument physical. Keeping Wart’s palette muted while the Sword next to him gleams reinforces the film’s central idea. Committing to Madam Mim’s full purple practices, the design decision that makes theatrical villains work. The skill this set builds is the habit of asking what a palette is supposed to say about a character, then making the color serve that answer. That habit carries into any illustration work well beyond Disney. From here, Disney coloring pages are the parent hub, sword coloring pages extend the Excalibur metallic challenge, and Sleeping Beauty coloring pages and Cinderella coloring pages offer comparable classic Disney character coloring from the same era.

The American Art Therapy Association describes everyday coloring as recreation and self-care rather than clinical therapy. For a Sword in the Stone fan, picking up a Merlin or Madam Mim page is a calm, screen-free activity built around a film and characters they know. The American Academy of Pediatrics points to creative, imaginative activities as a recognized part of healthy development in children, and the range here, from the simple Wart portrait to the detailed Madam Mim dragon transformation, gives children of different ages and skill levels something genuinely suited to where they are.

How to Color the Sword in the Stone Coloring Pages

These steps work for any page in the set, from a simple portrait to the dragon transformation page.

Keep Merlin’s robe a cool blue-grey, not warm grey. The distinction matters: warm grey reads as practical and grounded; cool blue-grey reads as wise and otherworldly. Merlin’s character lives in that difference. Add a white beard contrast, and the figure will read as a wizard rather than an older man in grey clothes.

On Madam Mim pages, commit fully to the purple. Do not tone it down to avoid looking garish. Mim’s vivid purple is the point: she is excessive and theatrical, and a muted version of her palette undercuts the character. Use a warm purple rather than a cold one, closer to violet-red than to blue-violet, to keep her looking threatening rather than elegant.

On the Madam Mim Dragon page, treat it as a new character. Her dragon form is warm grey-green with dark green accents and orange-red eyes, not purple: resist the habit of using her standard palette. The transformation is only effective if the dragon looks genuinely different from the witch.

On Wart and sword pages, keep Wart muted so the Sword shines. Wart’s plain palette is his design role. A muted tan-brown figure makes the gleaming silver Excalibur read as extraordinary. If Wart’s colors compete with the Sword, the page loses the whole point.

On the Excalibur sword pages, build metal with three tones. Use a pale silver for the top face of the blade, a mid silver for the body, and a slightly darker silver for the recessed areas. A bright thin highlight along the blade edge makes it read as sharp. The Stone around it should always be duller and cooler than the Sword.

5 Creative Craft Ideas with Sword in the Stone Coloring Pages

Merlin and Madam Mim Contrast Pair

Color a solo Merlin page in cool blue-grey and white, and a solo Madam Mim page in full vivid purple.

Mount both side by side on a neutral card backing with the names below. The two palettes together show the film’s central visual argument in one image and take about thirty minutes total.

Excalibur Sword Metallic Study

Color the Excalibur Sword or Arthur with Excalibur Sword page using three silver tones: pale highlight on the top face, mid-silver on the body, and slightly darker at the recessed edge.

Add a single bright highlight line with a white gel pen along the sharpest edge. The finished page makes a strong standalone display and takes about twenty minutes.

Madam Mim Dragon Transformation Card

Color the Madam Mim Dragon page in the dragon palette (warm grey-green body, dark green accents, orange-red eyes) and a standard Madam Mim page in purple.

Fold a plain A4 sheet in half, mount the dragon on the front and the standard Mim on the inside, and write “The Wizard’s Duel” above for a fan card that takes about twenty-five minutes.

Archimedes Expression Study

Color the Archimedes and Cute Archimedes pages in the same warm brown and cream palette, focusing on the different expressions in each.

Cut both to the same square size and mount side by side with labels (“Archimedes” and “Cute Archimedes”) for a two-page character study that takes about twenty minutes.

Wart Character Journey Strip

Color the Wart cleaning page, the Wart holding the sword page, and the Arthur with Excalibur Sword page in sequence, keeping Wart’s plain tan-brown consistent while making the Sword progressively brighter and more metallic.

Mount all three in order on a strip of card with short captions for a mini story strip that takes about thirty-five minutes.

What is The Sword in the Stone? 

The Sword in the Stone is a Disney animated film released in 1963, based on the novel by T.H. White.

It was the 18th Disney animated feature. You can read more on the Wikipedia page.

What colors should I use for Merlin? 

Merlin wears cool blue-grey robes and a pointed hat in the same tone. His long beard is white, and his skin is pale. Keep the robe a cool blue-grey rather than warm grey: the cool note is what reads as wise and magical rather than merely old.

What colors should I use for Madam Mim? 

Madam Mim is vivid purple throughout: her wild hair, her dress, and her general energy are all in the same warm purple register. Her skin is a slightly sallow yellow-green. Commit fully to the purple rather than toning it down: her theatrical excess depends on the palette being bold.
