Donut Coloring Pages
Make free printable donut coloring pages from 13 pictures we drew ourselves: donut with sprinkles, glazed donut with drips, half-dipped donut, donut with striped icing, heart-shaped donut, stack of three donuts, box of six donuts, twisted cruller, donut holes on a plate, old-style diamond donuts, donut and a mug, donut tower, big simple donut. Every ring donut has its hole in the middle: a history of the doughnut on the University of Southern California’s Scalar site explains that the hole gives the ring more surface so it cooks right through, and that early doughnuts were twists, little balls and diamond-shaped cakes, so there is a cruller, a plate of donut holes and two old-style diamond donuts too. They are our own donuts, not any shop’s or brand’s, the box carries no name, and nothing carries words, brand or product names or logos. Print one big picture on a page, a grid of four or six small ones, a table scene with three donuts and a mug under balloons and stars, a fold-in-half card, or a donut mandala with small donuts round the edge and a new pattern at the press of a button. Plain donuts to decorate prints 1, 2, 4 or 6 donuts with no sprinkles, so children can add their own; one fills a 186 mm square on US Letter. Type a child’s name for a name page, or paste a class list to get the same picture for everyone with each name at the top. Choose simple, medium or detailed lines, never thinner than 0.5 mm. Download one multi-page PDF for US Letter or A4, a 300 DPI PNG of every page, or an SVG. No sign-up, no watermark.
100% private — everything runs in your browser. Names stay in your browser; the PDF, PNG and SVG are made on your device.

They are not any shop’s or brand’s donuts and the box carries no name. Nothing carries words, brand or product names or logos. The plain donut has no sprinkles, for decorating your own. The designs are our own drawings: you may use them and anything you make with them, including things you sell, with no credit needed. The lettering fonts keep their own open licenses.

Shapes are the closed outlines the tool draws for each picture at each level, counted by the tool. Simple keeps the donut (dough, icing, hole and inner rim) and the plate, box, mug or table; Medium and Detailed add the smaller lines, such as the sprinkles, the icing stripes, the plate rim and the steam from the mug.
Plain donuts to decorate
| Donuts per page | Each fits (US Letter) | Each fits (A4) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 186 mm square | 181 mm square |
| 2 | 120 mm square | 129 mm square |
| 4 | 89 mm square | 86 mm square |
| 6 | 77 mm square | 83 mm square |
Sizes are for the page with No title chosen; a title at the top makes them a little smaller. Each plain donut has no sprinkles (4 shapes: hole, inner rim, icing and dough), so the toppings are up to you.
Simple to detailed lines
| Lines | Outlines | Small details | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Simple | 1.8 mm | 1.4 mm | Toddlers, chunky crayons, big markers |
| Medium | 1.1 mm | 0.8 mm | Most children, colored pencils |
| Detailed | 0.75 mm | 0.5 mm | Older children and adults, fine pens and pencils |
Line widths are measured at print size. The thinnest line on any page is 0.5 mm, so every shape stays open to color.

Are these donut coloring pages free?
Yes. Every page is free to make, download and print, with no sign-up and no watermark. All the pictures are our own drawings.
Which donut pictures are there?
13: donut with sprinkles, glazed donut with drips, half-dipped donut, donut with striped icing, heart-shaped donut, stack of three donuts, box of six donuts, twisted cruller, donut holes on a plate, old-style diamond donuts, donut and a mug, donut tower, big simple donut. On top of those there is a table scene, plain donuts to decorate, a mandala, a lettering poster and name pages.
Why do donuts have a hole?
A history of the doughnut on the University of Southern California’s Scalar site explains that a solid fried cake is too thick for the heat to reach the middle, so the hole gives the ring more surface to cook all the way round.
What is the diamond donut?
The same USC history quotes Eliza Leslie’s early cookbook, which tells the cook to cut the dough into thick diamond-shaped cakes, fry them and grate sugar over them. Our old-style diamond donuts are drawn after that description.
Is this a donut from a shop or brand?
No. Every donut is our own drawing, not any shop’s or brand’s, the box has no name on it, and nothing in the pictures carries a name or logo.
Which donut pages suit toddlers and preschoolers?
Choose Simple lines: big shapes with thick outlines. The big simple donut and the glazed donut with drips have the fewest shapes, as the table shows.
Can I make a page for every child in my class?
Yes. Choose Class set, pick a picture and paste the names, one per line, up to 40. Each child gets the same picture with their own name in hollow letters at the top, all in one PDF.
Are there donut coloring pages for adults?
Yes. Choose Donut mandala with Detailed lines: each pattern number gives a different symmetric design. Choose 16 repeats for the most intricate pattern.
Can I sell what I make with these pages?
Yes. The pictures are our own drawings, and the note under the tool sets out how you may use them, including for things you sell.
How do I print the coloring pages?
Download the PDF and print it on plain paper. Choose 100% or Actual size to keep the margins and sizes as drawn; Fit to page also works if your printer cuts off the edges.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Names and words are not sent anywhere, and nothing is saved when you close the page.
