20 free bugs and insects coloring pages for kids here. Butterfly coloring sheets, a ladybug picture to color and mystery picture printables. We have a lot of free color by number printables on my site and this is just one more set everyone love.
Free Bugs Coloring Pages
The ones you see above can be downloaded below. We also have a lot of other Free Insect Coloring Pages here that are a bit easier for younger ages. With these the pictures are already displayed and just needs to be color matched.
Division Color by Number has some bugs featured but would be more appropriate for older students in the third grade or older. With match problems they first need to solve in order to match the answer to the correct color. I always recommend decorating with crayons either way. Markers will leak thru to the back and could get on the table.

Bug Color by Number Sheets
Since you’re here I know you are looking for all the free printables for kids you can find. I add more each week so make sure you bookmark the blue link above and check back often.
First you should subscribe to our free newsletter below to get more via. email too. Feel free to print one or as many as you like for rainy day activities that boys and girls will all enjoy! Here are our favorite items to use on coloring pages, word searches and color by number printables;
- Smencils colored pencils are by far the most fun and vibrant shades ever.
- With kids I prefer that they have a smaller box of crayons so there are fewer choices, but enough. 😉
Butterfly Coloring Sheet
You may want these just for a rainy day with kids at home. If you are a Teacher you could download the PDF and use them over and over with your students year after year. Another idea is to laminate these and use wet erase markers to color them. That way you use fewer copies but can be reused.
Throwing a butterfly birthday party and want a few activities that don’t cost you a thing??? Use the one below and can have this as a key if you think people will want to compare when they are done to make sure they did it correctly.
Ladybug Picture to Color
Same thing goes with ladybugs!! My girls always loved these and you can make Ladybug Cupcakes with it for a fun get together too. There are lots of interesting bugs out there that can be pretty, and not always pesky right?
Learning about animals in the classroom? You could do an additional writing activity on the back after they decorate the front. Learn facts about each of these beforehand. Write them on the board and talk about things like where they live, what each one eats, what time of year they are most prevalent, etc….
For more advanced kids/students you can have them write a story about the picture on the front. Using some of the information they learned, make a funny story about it with characters names and then they can share with one another when done.
How can you make a mystery picture?
This is a great example of a mystery picture here where there is a color key at the top of each one. If you wanted to make one of your own, use graphing paper with the little boxes already present. Create a key like you see above here to compare.
