79 Back to School Coloring Pages for Kids

This back to school coloring pages set gives kids a big stack of cute pages to color once class starts again. Every sheet uses simple kawaii style line art: backpacks, pencils, books, rulers, apples and paint palettes with round smiling faces, plus stars, hearts and little doodles scattered around them.

Most pages repeat the words “Back to School” in bubble lettering, so the set works well as a themed activity for the first weeks of school rather than a single picture. The first page is a name and class cover sheet, so a child can write their name and class before coloring the rest of the book.

Because every page is black and white line art, kids can use crayons, markers or colored pencils, and a page photocopies cleanly for a whole class without losing any detail.

What Students Actually Color

Kids practice fine motor control, staying inside lines and choosing colors as they fill in each design. Page by page they will find:

• ✅ A friendly backpack with a smiling face and buckle details
• ✅ A pencil, a notebook and an open book, each drawn with a cheerful expression
• ✅ A round apple, a ruler, a glue bottle and a small paint palette
• ✅ Bubble letter “Back to School” titles surrounded by stars and hearts
• ✅ A name and class cover page for the very first sheet

Because the drawings repeat familiar school supplies in slightly different arrangements, kids can compare pages, spot the differences and pick a new favorite scene each time they open the book. Some pages group three or four items together, while others focus on a single large backpack or notebook filling most of the sheet.

What’s Inside the Back to School Coloring Pages Download

The download is one PDF file with 79 printable pages, including the name and class cover sheet described above. Every page is ready to print and color as it is, with no extra parts to assemble and no separate answer key needed.

Because the file is a single PDF, a teacher or parent can print the whole back to school coloring pages set at once, or pick out individual sheets to use on separate days during the first week of school. Printing only a few pages at a time also keeps the activity fresh across a whole unit.

Ways to Use This Set in Class or at Home

Teachers can hand out a page as morning work while attendance is taken, use one as a quiet activity during indoor recess, or leave a stack ready for early finishers. A single page also works well as a simple sub plan when a substitute needs something calm and low prep.

The repeated “Back to School” theme also makes these sheets useful for a classroom door display, a welcome folder cover, or a bulletin board built during the first week, since finished pages share the same look once colored.

At home, these pages fit homeschool art time, a rainy afternoon, or a quiet activity while dinner is cooking. Because every page uses the same friendly style, kids can return to the set across several days without it feeling repetitive.
