Free The Addams Family Coloring Pages: 40 printable PDF designs of the gloriously gloomy household created by cartoonist Charles Addams, with Wednesday, Pugsley, Morticia, Gomez, Uncle Fester, Lurch, Cousin Itt, Thing, and Grandmama, plus the family mansion, a logo sheet, and a chibi Gomez. Any design can be printed for markers and pencils or completed digitally with a mouse, finger, or stylus.
The family first appeared in single-panel cartoons in The New Yorker starting in 1938. They reached television in 1964 with an ABC sitcom that ran for 64 episodes, then returned in live-action films in 1991 and 1993, two animated MGM features in 2019 and 2021, and the Netflix series Wednesday in 2022. Many of the designs here follow the rounded, big-eyed look of the 2019 animated movie.
The joke behind every version stays the same: a loving, close-knit family that adores everything ordinary neighbors find creepy. On paper, that means a palette leaning heavily on black, gray, and pale skin, where faces, posture, and outline do more work than bright color.
What’s Inside This Collection
The 40 sheets are split between single-character portraits, pairs, and full household scenes, with a few pages devoted to the house and title art.
Wednesday and Pugsley
Wednesday shows up more than anyone else, alone, beside her brother, with Morticia, and on one page with Kitty Kat, the family’s pet lion from the 1960s show. Give her dress a solid Black with a crisp White collar and keep her twin braids dark. Pugsley’s striped shirt works best in alternating Black and Gray bands, which keeps him in the family palette while still standing out next to his sister.
Morticia and Gomez
The parents appear separately and as a devoted couple. Morticia’s long, close-fitting gown should be a deep Black with Gray only where folds catch light, and her very pale skin needs just a whisper of Periwinkle in the shadows. Gomez takes a dark pinstripe suit: lay down Gray first, then draw the thin stripes in Black with a sharp point so they stay straight.
Uncle Fester
Fester has several solo pages and appears with Pugsley and Wednesday, with his niece and nephews’ parents, and next to a guest character. His bald, round head and dark coat are simple shapes, so spend the effort on soft Gray shading under the brow and chin. On any page where he holds a light bulb, a small patch of Yellow makes a fun glowing accent.
Lurch, Cousin Itt, Thing, and Grandmama
Lurch the butler is the tallest figure in the set; a cool Cadet Blue or Gray skin tone plus a Black suit suits his stiff, towering pose. Cousin Itt is nothing but floor-length hair, so build it from Brown and Tan strokes that follow each strand downward. Thing, a hand that moves on its own, needs only a light skin tone and a few Gray knuckle lines, while Grandmama’s wild hair and shawl look right in Silver and muted Maroon.
Family Portraits, House, and Logo
The whole family gathers in several group portraits and a character face page. The Addams Family House page shows the tall, crooked mansion; color it in layers of Gray and Black, then give one or two windows a warm Yellow glow. The logo page is a quick finish for younger colorists.
What The Addams Family Coloring Pages Do
Finding variety inside a narrow palette. With most of each page in black and gray, colorists learn to separate shapes by pressure and value rather than by hue. Telling Morticia’s gown apart from the shadows around it is a real exercise in light and dark.
Steady hands on fine lines. For kids ages 2 to 7, structured coloring supports fine motor growth, a benefit highlighted by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Gomez’s pinstripes, Wednesday’s collar, and the strands of Cousin Itt’s hair reward slow, controlled strokes.
A calm, quiet activity. Participants in 2005 Art Therapy Journal research felt noticeably less anxious once they had worked through patterned, structured coloring. The limited color choices on these sheets make it easy to slip into an unhurried, repetitive rhythm.
Talking about being different. The Addamses never try to fit in, yet they are kind to one another and loyal as a family. Their pages give parents and teachers a light way to chat with kids about accepting people whose tastes differ from their own.

5 Creative Craft Ideas with The Addams Family Coloring Pages
1. Monochrome Palette Swatch Strip
Color small sections of three different pages, Wednesday’s hair, Morticia’s dress, and Gomez’s suit, on separate narrow strips of card.
Cut each strip to a uniform length and tape them side by side on a backing sheet to compare how subtly different blacks and greys can still feel distinct within one restrained family palette. Takes about fifteen minutes.
2. Silhouette Recognition Cards
Color simplified, smaller versions of Lurch, Cousin Itt, and Thing on separate cards, focusing entirely on getting their distinctive shapes right.
Shuffle the cards and challenge a friend to identify each character from silhouette alone, without any color cues, demonstrating how much of their design lives in shape rather than palette. Takes about twenty minutes.
3. Gomez and Morticia Anniversary Card
Color the Gomez and Morticia Addams duo page, then fold a blank sheet of card around it to create a simple greeting card format.
Write a short message inside referencing the couple’s famously affectionate relationship, turning the coloring page into a usable card for an Addams Family fan. Takes about twenty minutes.
4. Addams Family House Light-in-the-Window Card
Color the Addams Family House page using the restrained dark palette throughout, then cut a small window shape out of a separate sheet of yellow or warm orange paper.
Glue the small colored square behind one window opening on the house page so a single warm light appears to glow from inside the otherwise dark home. Takes about fifteen minutes.
5. Full Family Lineup Banner
Color one small page each for Wednesday, Pugsley, Morticia, Gomez, and Uncle Fester, then cut each figure out along its outline.
String the five cutouts along a length of black or dark ribbon, evenly spaced, to create a simple hanging family lineup banner. Takes about twenty-five minutes.
FAQ About The Addams Family Coloring Pages
Are these Addams Family coloring pages free, and can I color them online?
Yes. Every page is free, with no sign-in or payment required. Download the PDF to print at home, or color directly on screen in the browser.
Does the set include Thing and Cousin Itt, or mainly the main family members?
The set includes both. Wednesday, Pugsley, Morticia, Gomez, and Uncle Fester make up the largest share of pages. Still, Thing, Cousin Itt, Lurch, and Grandmama each appear in their own dedicated pages as well, covering the wider household.
What is The Addams Family?
The Addams Family originated as a single-panel cartoon created by Charles Addams for The New Yorker in 1938, and was later adapted into a television series, films, and animated features. It follows a wealthy, eccentric family who delight in everything macabre and unconventional that frightens ordinary people, while remaining deeply affectionate toward one another. You can read more about The Addams Family on Wikipedia.
Why does this family’s gothic look feel happy rather than frightening?
The family’s warmth comes through expression, posture, and clear affection between characters rather than through any cheerful color choice. Their black, white, and grey palette stays consistently dark throughout, and it’s the genuine happiness in their faces and interactions, not a softened or brightened design, that makes them read as a loving family rather than something to fear.
What colors should I use for Wednesday and Morticia?
Both share straight black hair and pale, nearly colorless skin. Wednesday wears a simple black dress with a white collar. Morticia wears a long black dress and is permitted one warm accent, deep red lips, the single deliberate departure from the family’s otherwise monochrome palette.
What is Thing, and how do you color a disembodied hand?
Thing is a sentient, disembodied hand that assists the family throughout the story. Color it with a simple, naturalistic skin tone and confident, clean shading to suggest form and movement, since it has no face, body, or costume to support its identity the way every other character does.
Are these official Addams Family coloring pages?
No. They are fan-made coloring sheets for personal use and are not affiliated with, licensed by, or endorsed by Charles Addams, MGM, or any rights holder of The Addams Family.
What colors should I use for Gomez and Uncle Fester?
Gomez wears a dark pinstripe suit with pale skin, and his personality comes through his delighted, enthusiastic expression rather than any bright color. Uncle Fester has a bald, round, distinctly pale head and a simple black coat, with his wide grin and large eyes carrying most of his visual character within the same restrained family palette.
