These free ballerina coloring pages are ready to print and use right away. There are twelve pages in total, each featuring a different pose or subject. The designs have open backgrounds, which gives kids plenty of room to add their own details. A dance studio, a stage, a garden — whatever they want to create around the dancer is fair game.
The outlines are simple and clean, which makes these pages work well beyond crayons. Watercolors, oil pastels, and tempera paint all work nicely on these designs. Kids who are just learning to use a paintbrush will find the large open areas easy to fill in. Of course, colored pencils and markers work just as well if that is what you have on hand.
We also have a printables collection with coloring pages, coloring books, and home organization sheets, all made by our team. Worth a look if you need more printable activities.
How to print these ballerina coloring pages
Click on any image to open it in a new tab. From a computer, right-click the image and select print. From a phone, save the image to your camera roll first, then print over wifi. Each page is sized to fit a standard sheet of paper.
Single ballerina coloring pages
Each of these pages features one ballerina in a dancing pose. The poses vary, so kids can pick the one they like most or print all three.
Multiple ballerinas
These pages show two or more dancers together. They work well for kids who want a busier scene to color, or for siblings who want to each claim one dancer on the page.
Ballerina coloring page with background
This page includes a simple background behind the dancer. It gives kids a little more context and some extra areas to fill in with color.
Ballerina clothes and accessories
These pages focus on what a ballet dancer wears. Coloring a tutu or a pair of ballet slippers is a natural way to introduce some vocabulary around dance and clothing. Kids can practice color names while they work, or mix shades to create their own costume design.
Animal ballerina coloring pages
These pages feature animals dressed as ballet dancers. There is a rabbit, a fox, and a sheep, each in a ballet pose. Younger kids especially tend to love these. They have the same simple outlines as the other pages, so they are easy to color at any skill level.
Why coloring is worth the time
Coloring is one of those activities that does more than it looks like. It builds fine motor strength as kids grip and control a pencil or crayon. It also supports color recognition and helps kids practice staying focused on a task. For many children, it is genuinely calming, especially after a busy morning.
The open-ended nature of coloring also matters. There is no wrong answer. A child who colors a ballerina purple with green shoes is making real creative choices, and that kind of low-stakes creative practice is valuable. If you want more ideas for creative and learning activities, our kids activities section has a wide range of options sorted by age and type.
More coloring pages to print
If your child works through these quickly and wants more, there are plenty of other free coloring pages available here. The animal coloring pages are a popular choice, and the sunflower coloring pages are great for spring and summer. For something a little different, the T-Rex coloring pages and fire truck coloring pages are always a hit with kids who want something bold to color. You can also browse the full coloring pages collection to find something that fits your child’s interests.
