Free Vicky the Viking Coloring Pages: 48 printable PDF designs of the quick-thinking Viking boy and his seaside village, showing Vicky walking, laughing, roasting chicken, and sitting on a treasure chest, his big, strong father Chief Halvar, his caring mother Ylva, his friend Ticky (also called Ylvi), the bickering crew of Snorre, Tjure, Faxe, Gorm, Ulme, and Urobe, the pirate Sven the Terrible, Gilby, Pokka, a polar bear, a dog, and the striped-sailed Viking drakkar. Paper copies come from a no-cost PDF for each sheet, and the drawings also load on tablets for digital coloring.
Vicky started as a children’s book called Vicky Viking, written by Swedish author Runer Jonsson in 1963, which won the German Children’s Literature Award in 1965. In 1974, Zuiyo Eizo and Nippon Animation turned it into a 78-episode anime made with German broadcaster ZDF and Austrian broadcaster ORF, and the show became a lasting favorite across Europe, where Vicky is known as Wickie. Studio 100 later produced a CGI series in 2013 and the animated film Vic the Viking and the Magic Sword in 2019. Vicky is small and timid, but he solves problems with clever ideas that the strong Vikings never think of.
These pages keep the clean, rounded look of the classic 1970s cartoon. Vicky and Ticky have small bodies and simple outfits that young children can fill easily, while the burly crew members add beards, horned helmets, and armor, and the drakkar pages give older kids a striped sail, shields, and waves to color in detail.
What’s Inside This Collection
Vicky’s name appears on 21 of the 48 designs, and Halvar, Ylva, Ticky, the crew, and the Viking ship complete the set.
Vicky (Wickie)
Vicky walks, smiles, looks funny and adorable, roasts chicken, sits on treasure, and appears with his dog, Ticky, Snorre, and Halvar. Give him bright orange-red hair, a Red tunic, Brown trousers and boots, and keep his skin a light Peach.
Halvar and Ylva
Halvar appears alone, with Vicky, and with Ylva in a family page, while Ylva has her own portrait. Use bright Red for Halvar’s big beard and hair, add a gray-horned helmet, and dress Ylva in a soft Green or Blue dress with Golden Yellow braids.
Ticky (Ylvi)
Ticky appears cute, happy, and alongside Vicky. Color her long hair Yellow and give her a simple dress in Pink or Light Blue.
The Viking Crew
Snorre, Tjure, Faxe, Gorm, Ulme, and Urobe each have their own pages, plus Tjure and Urobe have treasure. Keep helmets Gray with White horns, use different beard colors for each Viking, such as Brown for Snorre and Black for Tjure, and give big Faxe a warm Tan tunic.
Sven the Terrible, Gilby, Pokka, and Animals
The villain Sven the Terrible, Gilby, Pokka, a polar bear, and a dog round out the cast. Make Sven’s outfit dark with Black and Dark Red for a menacing pirate, and color the polar bear White with soft Blue Gray shading.
The Drakkar
Viking Ship Drakkar, Vicky with the drakkar, and a Viking ship page show the crew’s longship. Color the sail with bold Red and White stripes, the wooden hull Brown, the shields along the side in Red, Yellow, and Blue, and the sea in deep Blue waves.
What Vicky the Viking Coloring Pages Do
Showing that brains beat brawn. Vicky is smaller and less strong than the other Vikings, yet his clever ideas save the day again and again. Coloring his adventures helps children see that thinking carefully is as valuable as being strong. Afterward, children can describe a puzzle they cracked by thinking it through.
Practicing control with beards and stripes. Bushy beards, horned helmets, and striped sails call for careful strokes. Between ages 2 and 7, such activities build the hand strength writing calls for, a period American Academy of Pediatrics pediatricians single out for pencil readiness. Simple Vicky and Ticky pages suit younger kids.
A cheerful, relaxing activity. Adults in a 2005 trial covered by Art Therapy Journal grew less anxious while filling in structured designs. Vicky’s lighthearted adventures and bright colors make these pages a relaxing choice for any time of day.
Learning about Viking life. Longships, horned helmets, and village life open conversations about the real Norse people of Scandinavia. Families can look at a map of Norway, Sweden, and Denmark after coloring. Older kids may enjoy learning that real Vikings probably never wore horned helmets in battle.
How to Color Vicky the Viking Pages Well
- Fiery red hair: Use Orange Red for Vicky and a deeper Red for Halvar so father and son look related.
- Metal helmets: Fill helmets with Steel Gray, leave one pale streak for shine, and make the horns Ivory.
- Bushy beards: Use quick, overlapping strokes so beards look thick and wild.
- Striped sail: Color alternating Red and White stripes, using a ruler edge to keep them neat.
- Wooden ship: Draw a few darker Brown lines along the hull to show planks.
- Sea and sky: Blend Blue and Turquoise for waves and add White foam along the bow.
