Pirate Coloring Pages
Make free printable pirate coloring pages from 13 friendly pictures we drew ourselves: pirate ship on the waves, treasure map, open treasure chest, parrot on a perch, treasure island with a palm tree, friendly pirate with a spyglass, pirate hat on a barrel, anchor and rope, message in a bottle, ship wheel, compass and spyglass, rowing boat by the island, simple big treasure chest. Everything is pirate play for young children: a ship with plain sails and a star pennant, a map with a dotted path to the X, chests of coins and gems, a parrot on its perch and a child pirate looking at the sky through a spyglass. They are our own drawings, not any film, book, game or toy pirate, and nothing is scary or aimed at anyone. No picture carries words, brand names or logos. Print one big picture on a page, a grid of four or six small ones, a pirate beach scene with a ship, a palm tree and an open chest, a fold-in-half card, or a pirate mandala with small chests round the edge and a new pattern at the press of a button. Plain treasure chests to decorate prints 1, 2, 4 or 6 closed chests with no bands or planks, so children can draw 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.

Friendly pictures only: nothing scary and nothing to fight with. 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.

Plain treasure chests to decorate
| Chests per page | Each fits (US Letter) | Each fits (A4) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 186 mm square | 181 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 chest has no bands, keyhole or planks (3 shapes: box, domed lid and lock plate), so the pattern is up to you.
Simple to detailed lines

|---|---|---|---|
| Simple | 1.8 mm | 1.4 mm | Toddlers, chunky crayons, big markers |
| Medium | 1.1 mm | 0.8 mm | Most children, colored pencils |
