About Bear Coloring Pages

Our bear coloring pages span the full range of these powerful and fascinating creatures from around the world. Color a massive grizzly bear catching salmon at a rushing waterfall, a polar bear mother guiding her cubs across Arctic sea ice, or an American black bear climbing a tall pine tree with surprising agility. For a touch of exotic variety, you will find giant pandas munching bamboo shoots and small, curious sun bears with their distinctive golden chest patches. Younger children will enjoy our friendly teddy bear pages and cartoon-style bear cubs with round bellies and oversized paws. Detailed designs for older colorists feature thick fur textures, muscular shoulders, and dramatic wilderness backgrounds including mountain meadows, dense forests, and rocky riverbanks. Whether you love the imposing silhouette of a standing grizzly or the cuddly appeal of a roly-poly panda cub, our bear pages deliver.

Coloring Tips

• Match fur color to the species — Grizzlies range from dark chocolate to light honey-brown, black bears can actually be brown or cinnamon, and polar bears are creamy white with hints of pale yellow. Research your species for accuracy.
• Create a thick fur effect — Use heavy, overlapping strokes that radiate outward from the body. Bears have dense, shaggy coats, so avoid smooth, even coloring and embrace a rougher texture.
• Emphasize the face — Bears have expressive faces with small, round ears and deep-set eyes. Darken around the eye sockets and add a glossy highlight to the nose to bring the face to life.
• Set the scene with water — Many bear designs feature rivers or streams. Use layered blues and whites with a few streaks to suggest flowing water and splashing around the paws.
