Valentine’s Day is something kids can easily wrap their heads around. A day to celebrate love?! How fun! And what better way to get your children in the loving spirit than with a craft afternoon working on Valentine’s Day coloring pages?

You don’t have to run to Barnes & Noble or order a coloring book on Amazon to get started though. The beauty of the internet is that it has loads of free Valentine’s Day coloring page sites with illustrations you can print at home. Hear that? That’s the sound of you manufacturing a craftastic afternoon for little to no money that your kids will absolutely love.

Naturally, you’ll find plenty of Cupid coloring pages as well as hearts and teddy bears. But for kids that prefer their creative energy be channeled into something more unique, good news: there are all kinds of interesting Valentine’s Day coloring pages that go off the traditional tropes. Think unicorns holding hearts, rockets shooting love into space, cameos from Hello Kitty and Charlie Brown too.

When your brood is all done making their beautiful pictures, you can display them around the house or turn them into actual Valentines by writing a message on the back and sending them to someone they love.

1

A Bee Mine Coloring Page

The birds and the bees are synonymous with love so it makes sense that a buzzing insect should grace a Valentine’s Day coloring pages. On this sweet page, two lover bees form a heart with the words Bee Mine proudly printed between them. So you can incorporate a reading lesson at the same time.

A Superhero Cupid Page

If Cupid isn’t totally your child’s thing, hand them this picture which depicts the love angel as more of a superhero out to spread affection across the planet than a chubby spirit. See, Valentine’s Day coloring pages don’t have to be boring.

3

A Teddy Bear Page

Teddy Bears have been a go-to Valentine’s Day gift option for decades. Something about the little bears just says “here’s something to squeeze for my main squeeze.” So give your kiddos some Teddy Bears to color. Here a loveable bear holds a heart and gives a gentle smile.

A Sloth Page

Sloths are Valentine’s Day animals? Sure. Why not? Even sloths need love too. This arboreal Neotropical xenarthran mammal, as it’s scientifically known, may be a slow mover, but once he falls for a gal he’s very persistent. Sounds like he could use a Valentine to woo her, no?

5

An Elephant Page

Valentine’s Day coloring pages wouldn’t be complete without one featuring an elephant. The gentle giants have a natural way about them that makes children love them. So is it any wonder kids might find this coloring sheet appealing? In this image, a long snouted elephant holds a big heart a la Care Bear’s Lotsa Heart Elephant.

A Unicorn Page

Know a child who is obsessed with unicorns? In all likelihood their backpack features unicorns, their wallpaper is unicorns, they probably had a unicorn pinata for their birthday. Now imagine the joy on their face when they’re handed unicorn Valentine’s coloring pages. Huzzah! What could be better than that?

7

A Rocket Page

If you have a rocket man in your household, combine their love of space exploration with a strong appreciation for love with this shuttle launch Valentine’s Day coloring page.

8

A Rose Page

Roses are red, violets are blue, and this lovely Valentine’s Day coloring page is just for you. And better yet, it’s cheaper than an actual bouquet of roses. Your creative kid can color the blooms in classic red, or go wild making a rainbow of colors. It’s totally up to them.

An “I Love You” Unicorn Page

We’re telling you, the unicorn appreciation is strong in the Valentine’s Day coloring pages world. That’s why there’s a second option for those who love the mystical creatures. Here the horned beast smiles for the camera while holding a heart above the words “I love you.”

A Charlie Brown Page

A Charlie Brown Valentine is a classic children’s cartoon. In it our hero Charlie falls for The Little Red Headed Girl.

A Slushie Love Page

Slushies in love? Sure, why not. If you're a child, making the imaginative leap that inanimate objects can have feelings isn’t so strange. In fact, it's rather charming. So kids will love coloring two drinks sharing air bubbles with hearts in them.
