About Tricky coloring pages

Tricky coloring pages are for children aged 8 and up, and for grown-ups who enjoy a slow, calm coloring session. They have smaller shapes, more detail, patterns, mandalas and busy scenes that take time to finish. These pages are a good challenge for kids who find simpler pictures too quick, and many families enjoy coloring them together at the same table.

Fine-tip markers, gel pens and sharp colored pencils work best in small spaces. Start in the middle and work outward so your hand does not smudge the finished parts, and pick a small group of colors before you begin. Three or four colors, repeated across the page, usually look better than every color in the box. Tricky pages are also a lovely way to wind down. Focusing on one small shape at a time can feel calming after a busy school day, and there is no rush: a page can be finished over a few evenings and then hung up with pride.

Questions parents and teachers ask

Are tricky pages only for older kids?

They are designed for ages 8 and up, but younger children who enjoy detail can try them too. Grown-ups often like them for relaxing. If a page feels too hard, try coloring just one part of it.

Which tools work best for detailed pages?

Fine-tip markers, gel pens and sharp colored pencils are best for small shapes. Avoid thick crayons, which cover the lines. Press lightly at first so you can add darker layers later.

How do I choose colors for a mandala or pattern?

Pick three or four colors that look good together, such as blues and greens, or pinks and purples. Repeat them in rings around the center. Using the same color for matching shapes keeps the pattern balanced.

How many tricky coloring pages are there?

There are 944 tricky coloring pages right now, in topics such as alphabet, animals, cartoon characters, fantasy & mythical creatures and flags.

How do I print these coloring pages?

Can my child color these pages on a phone or tablet?

Yes. Press Color online on any page. Tap a shape to fill it, or draw with the brush, crayon and marker. Press Save to keep the picture in My Gallery on that device; nothing is uploaded.
