DrawAlong

Octopus Coloring Page

Free to print, free to use at home or in class. Clean line art with 30 areas to color in.

The pack is a three-page PDF: this coloring sheet, a 6-step guide to drawing an octopus yourself, and a trace page.

Coloring tip

Try a lilac or pink octopus with lighter pink suckers and dark eyes.

About this octopus coloring page

This is the same octopus that DrawAlong teaches kids to draw, printed as clean outlines so it can be colored straight away. The tutorial builds it up over 30 guided lines, one at a time; here it arrives finished, with 30 separate areas waiting for crayons — the suckers, the arms and the eyes all get their own color.

Print it on any paper with crayons, pencils or markers. If you would rather skip the printer, the same octopus can be colored online with tap-to-fill, and kids who want to draw it themselves first can follow the step-by-step octopus tutorial. Coloring a shape you drew yourself lands very differently to coloring one that arrived finished.

Questions about this coloring page

How many areas are there to color in on the octopus coloring page?

There are 30 separate areas, including the suckers, the arms and the eyes. Each one is a closed shape, so crayons, pencils and markers all stay where they are meant to.

Is this octopus coloring page free to print?

Yes. It is free to print at home or in a classroom, with no account and nothing behind a paywall. There is also a three-page PDF pack with the coloring sheet, a step-by-step drawing guide and a trace page.

What age is this octopus coloring page for?

It suits children aged 4 to 8. The shapes are closed and clearly separated, and the same octopus is taught as a easy drawing in 30 guided lines, so a child can color it today and draw it themselves later.

Can we color it online instead of printing?

Yes. The same line art can be colored in the browser with tap-to-fill, then downloaded or saved. Nothing needs installing.
