Bear coloring page for toddlers ages 1-3, free to print
A big bear coloring page for toddlers: one bear with no background, a thick outline, and the word BEAR underneath that can be colored too. It is a real page from a printed book. Free to print in US Letter or A4, with no sign-up.
Bear coloring page
The bear is made of large rounded parts: a round head, round ears, a wide body and big paws. There is almost nothing small or narrow, so the large parts take wide strokes comfortably.
The bear is sitting and facing forward, and the left and the right side are nearly the same. It can be filled with one color, or the ears and the paws can take colors of their own.
The main outline measures 2.4 to 4.8 mm, and the bear fills roughly 70 to 82 percent of the page and sits in the center. There is no background, no forest, no frame and nothing else around it.
Under the picture is the word BEAR in large outline letters. It can be colored too, and an adult can say the word out loud and point to it while the child colors.
Printing them
- Choose Letter or A4, whichever your printer takes
- Thick crayons are easiest for first attempts
- If your child uses markers, slip a spare sheet underneath
- Print a few copies and try different colors
Is this page right for your child?
It is a good fit if:
- Your child is picking up crayons or pencils for the first time
- This is one of their first coloring pages
- They still color with wide strokes
- Large rounded areas are easier for them than small, narrow ones
The page may be too simple if:
- Your child already colors small areas confidently inside the line
- They ask for pictures with more detail
- They would rather color drawings made of several small areas
- They would rather draw a picture themselves

Questions parents ask
Is this bear coloring page really free to print?
Yes. No account, no email and no payment. Two sizes are available, Letter and A4.
Is this bear page right for a two year old?
Yes, especially if your child is just starting to color. The bear is made of large rounded parts with almost nothing small or narrow, and it can be filled with a single color.
Why does the bear suit first coloring pages?
Most of the drawing is large rounded areas. There is no background and no crowd of small details, so a child does not have to deal with many little areas at once.
What is best for coloring it?
Thick crayons are easiest for the youngest hands. Colored pencils call for steadier movements. With markers, slip a spare sheet underneath.
Are there more free coloring pages for toddlers?
Yes. Ten real pages from the same book are free to print on this site. The book itself holds 111 different pictures.
