Tree Coloring Pages
Make free printable tree coloring pages from 12 pictures we drew ourselves: an oak tree with acorns, a pine tree, a palm tree on an island, an apple tree with a basket, a willow tree, two birch trees, one tree in four seasons, a tree with its roots, a cherry blossom tree, a tree house with a ladder, a tree in a circle with roots, and a forest of trees. The trees are our own drawings, with no characters, brands or logos, so the pages suit any home or classroom all year round. Print one big picture on a page, a grid of four or six small pictures, a park scene, a fold-in-half card, or a tree mandala with a new pattern at the press of a button. Blank trees to design prints 1, 2, 4 or 6 plain trees per page, a trunk and a crown with no leaves drawn, so children can add leaves, blossom or fruit for any season; one tree fills a 186 mm square on US Letter. Add a “Grow Tall” poster in hollow letters, 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.
Page
Runs in your browser with our own code; names and words never leave your device, and nothing is saved. Every picture is our own drawing, black lines on white, with no characters, brands or logos. The blank trees are a plain trunk and crown, for drawing your own leaves, blossom or fruit. 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.

Trees we drew, and what we read
| Picture | How we drew it | What we read |
|---|---|---|
| Tree with roots, tree in a circle | Roots spreading below the ground line | Colorado State Forest Service: roots collect nutrients and water and anchor the tree; the trunk is for transport and support |
| Tree in four seasons | Blossom, full leaves, falling leaves, then bare branches | Colorado State Forest Service: deciduous trees drop their leaves; chlorophyll production goes down as night length increases |
| Pine tree, forest | Evergreen crowns that stay full | Colorado State Forest Service: conifers have strategies to maintain their needles during the winter |
| Apple tree, cherry blossom tree | Fruit and flowers in the crown | Colorado State Forest Service: the crown is leaves, twigs, branches, flowers and fruit |
| Oak, palm, willow, birch, tree house | Our own drawings | Not a claim from a source |
The trees are simple shapes for coloring, not a field guide, and the colors are up to you.
Blank trees to design
| Trees 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 blank tree is a trunk and a round crown, with no leaves, fruit or branches drawn, so the season is 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.

Printing tips
- Every page keeps a 12.7 mm (half inch) margin from the paper edge, on US Letter and A4.
- Plain paper is fine for crayons and pencils; use thicker paper or card for markers and paint.
- Print one page first and check it before printing a whole pack or class set.
- Choose Detailed lines only with fine pens or sharp pencils, and Simple lines with chunky crayons.
- For a seasons display, print four blank trees on one page and let children color one tree for each season.

Are these tree 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.
What are the parts of a tree?
The Colorado State Forest Service says roots collect nutrients and water and anchor the tree, the trunk carries materials and gives support, bark protects the living tissue called cambium, and the crown is the upper part made of leaves, twigs, branches, flowers and fruit. The tree with roots shows the roots below the ground.
Why does the tree lose its leaves in the four seasons picture?
The Colorado State Forest Service says deciduous trees drop their leaves, while conifers keep their needles through the winter, and that chlorophyll production goes down as nights get longer in fall and winter. Our four-seasons tree has blossom, full leaves, falling leaves and bare branches with snowflakes.
Is there a Christmas tree?
The pine tree is a plain evergreen with pine cones and no decorations, so children can draw their own lights, stars and baubles on it.
Can children design their own tree?
Yes. Choose Blank trees to design and print 1, 2, 4 or 6 plain trees, then draw leaves, blossom, fruit, birds or a swing of their own.
Which tree pages suit toddlers and preschoolers?
Choose Simple lines: big shapes with thick outlines. The oak tree with acorns and the cherry blossom tree 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 tree coloring pages for adults?
Yes. Choose Tree mandala with Detailed lines: each pattern number gives a different symmetric design. Choose 16 repeats for the most intricate pattern.
Can I use the pages for things I sell?
Yes. The designs are our own drawings, so you may use the pages and what you make with them, including things you sell, without giving credit.
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.
