About Letter E coloring pages

E can be a tricky sound for young children, so pictures help a lot. These letter E coloring pages show an elephant, an eagle, an emu, a cheerful elf and an eel. Others show eggs in a bird nest, an eggplant, an envelope with a heart seal, and even a big E with a world map for Earth.

The capital E has three short arms, which makes it a nice letter to decorate. Try a different color on each arm. Gray suits the elephant, purple suits the eggplant and the eggs can be as plain or as patterned as your child likes.

How to use letter E coloring pages for learning

  1. Short and long E. Say egg and elephant for the short E. Then say eagle and emu for the long E. Ask your child if they sound the same or different.

  2. Count the arms. Ask how many arms the capital E has. Count them together, then count the eggs in the nest picture.

  3. Write a letter. Color the envelope page, then help your child write or draw a short note to someone in the family and tuck it in a real envelope.

  4. Earth talk. On the world map page, find where you live. Color the land green and the water blue.

Questions parents and teachers ask

Can preschoolers use letter E coloring pages?

Yes. Start with the Easy pages, which show one big E with a simple object such as an egg or an eel. Preschoolers often find the three arms of the E fun to fill in one at a time.

What colors start with the letter E?

Emerald, a rich green, and ebony, a deep black, both start with E. Eggplant is a dark purple you can use on the eggplant page. Teaching one new color word at a time works best.

Is there a PDF with all the printable letter E coloring pages?

Yes. Press Download all at the top of this page to get one PDF with every letter E coloring sheet. It prints on US Letter paper and also fits A4.

What letter E activities can I do after coloring?

Go on an E hunt around the house: look for an egg carton, an envelope or an eraser. Children can also sort their colored pages by short E and long E words.
