Minecraft Coloring Pages

Mining Steve the Hero sprints across the blocky landscape with his pixelated pickaxe under the logo, a Minecraft coloring page that becomes a stand-up figure for a shelf.

Start this coloring activity by giving Steve brown hair, a teal shirt, dark blue legs, and tan skin, keeping the iron pickaxe a flat gray so it reads from across the room.

Cut him out to lift the coloring project off the page, then cut a separate strip of card stock for a base.

Fold the strip into a small triangle and tape it behind his feet so the figure stands upright on its own.

Steve ends the mining run on his feet instead of flat in a drawer.

The Legendary Pixel Sword, a tall pixelated blade under the blocky logo, has the long narrow shape a bookmark wants.

A little coloring time goes into the blade, steel grays with a brown grip, then cut it out in one piece.

Glue it onto a strip of card stock cut a little wider, so the coloring fun survives a backpack.

This coloring page marks a spot for weeks and turns a fast finisher into something useful.

Minecraft Logo and Blocks, with the title set above a stacked pile of pixel blocks, folds into a real cube and a satisfying coloring project.

Pick one square block face and measure 4 more squares the same size, leaving a thin tab on each for gluing.

Score every fold line against a ruler edge first, so this creative coloring folds crisp instead of crushed.

Fold the 6 faces inward, gluing one seam at a time and pressing each from the inside until it sets.

We tried this coloring adventure on plain copy paper first and the corners slumped; heavy card stock held the cube square.

It ends as a block sitting on a desk, the kind a Minecraft fan recognizes at a glance.

The square face on the Famous Explosive Creeper Mob page, with its pixel eyes and open frown, fits a play mask exactly.

Begin this coloring activity with the Creeper's mottled greens, light over dark, and the eyes and frown in black.

Cut the face out as one square, the careful part of this coloring challenge, then cut the 2 eye holes to line up with a child's eyes.

Tape a wide craft stick to the back as a handle, or punch a hole each side and thread elastic for hands-free coloring fun.

The Creeper face goes up for backyard games and comes down without a fuss.

Two Cute Pixel Axolotls, both blocky swimmers with frilly gills and square faces, cut into 2 small fridge magnets, an easy coloring project for two hands.

Color one in leucistic pink and the other in cyan or gold, the colors they actually come in.

Cut each axolotl out, glue magnetic sheet to the back, and trim the edges flush so the coloring time is ready for the fridge.

The finished creative coloring ends up holding drawings and lists at eye level.

There is something about A Trio of Chicken Jockeys, the 3 baby zombies riding frantic chickens under square clouds, that already looks mid-stampede.

Begin this coloring activity with green skin and torn teal shirts on the zombies, and white chickens with red wattles and yellow beaks.

Cut each zombie and its chicken out together as one piece.

Tape a small loop of paper to the back of each, sized to slip over a finger, the quick part of this coloring challenge.

Made as a set of 3, the whole row can march across one hand while someone invents the backstory.

Steve Faces the Ender Dragon, with Steve holding his sword, the dragon banking overhead, and a TNT block beside him, layers into a battle scene inside a shoebox.

Start this coloring adventure with the dragon in charcoal black and a purple glow at the mouth and eyes, and the TNT red with its black and white label.

Cut Steve, the dragon, and the block out separately once the creative coloring is done.

Glue Steve and the block low against the back wall so the box gains real depth.

Hang the dragon from the lid on a short thread so it floats above the fight, and tear black paper along the floor for End stone shadows.

The whole battle holds still inside the box, a coloring project ready to look into from the open side.

The Blocky Pixel Christmas Tree, built from stacked green blocks with cube ornaments and presents underneath, holds a sheet of small ornaments and a calm bit of coloring time.

A bit of relaxing coloring fills the cubes in bright reds and golds. Cut each one out as its own square.

Punch a hole in a top corner and thread a loop of ribbon through, and the coloring fun is ready for the tree.

The cubes scatter across real branches like a pixel set come loose.

Steve Gallops on a Horse, sword in hand with the logo riding above the action, becomes a figure whose legs actually swing.

This coloring activity wants a chestnut brown horse with a darker mane, and Steve in his usual teal and blue.

Cut the horse body out as one piece, then cut the 4 legs off at the top of each.

Reattach each leg with a small brass fastener so it swings, and the coloring challenge comes alive.

Our first fasteners sat too loose and the legs just flopped; a snugger pin brought the gallop back.

A nudge sets the legs going and the horse runs in place.

The Do Not Approach Squad lines up the Creeper, the bow-wielding Skeleton, the Enderman, the Zombie, and the Spider, 5 mobs that hang well at 5 heights.

Start this coloring project true to type: green Creeper, bone-white Skeleton, jet-black Enderman with purple eyes, green Zombie, dark Spider with red eyes.

Cut the 5 mobs out once this coloring fun is done.

Punch a hole in the top of each and tie them to threads cut to 5 different lengths.

Knot the threads along a thin stick or wire hanger, with the Enderman and Spider toward the outer ends so the coloring adventure balances.

Hung over a bed, the row of mobs turns slowly in any draft from the door.

Pixel Daisy Welcomes Spring, a square-petaled daisy on a tall stem under the blocky Hello Spring text, was made to stand in a pot.

Color the petals white with a yellow center and the stem leaf green, then cut the whole thing out as one tall piece.

Cover it front and back with clear tape so this coloring activity lasts on a windowsill.

Tape the stem to a thin wooden stick and push it into a small pot of soil, a coloring challenge that stands like a flower and never wilts.

Steve Embraces a Friendly Creeper, with Steve mid-hug on a blocky ledge and pixel trees behind, folds into a pop-up card.

Spend the coloring time on Steve in his teal and blue and the Creeper in soft greens, then fold a sheet of green card stock in half for the base.

Once the coloring fun is done, cut Steve and the Creeper as one pop-up tab, and glue its base inside the fold so the hug springs forward.

Lining the tab up square is the fiddly part of this creative coloring craft.

Two squared-off figures leaning together sell the hug better than any words written inside.

Underwater with a Pixel Turtle sends Steve and Alex swimming beside a sea turtle through fish and bubbles, a Minecraft coloring scene built to glow with light behind it.

This coloring activity wants a green and brown turtle, Steve in teal, and Alex in her ginger hair and green shirt. Cut the turtle, swimmers, fish, and a few bubbles out as separate shapes.

Trace each shape onto clear contact paper, or tape colored tissue behind the cut openings.

Press the arrangement onto a sunny window, smoothing the air bubbles out from the center, the finishing step of the coloring project.

We had no idea teal tissue behind the water would read as the sea, but a second layer deepened it into something close to the sea floor.

By mid-morning the light through the glass sets the whole scene rippling.

Mama Panda and Her Baby, the blocky adult and her cub on grassy terrain, cut into 2 soft patches and a quiet bit of relaxing coloring.

Spend the coloring time on the panda's black and white, then cut each one out close to its outline.

Brush fabric glue across the back and press each onto a plain tote or pencil case, smoothing from the middle out, so the coloring fun rides along.

The pair travels on a bag instead of staying flat on a page.

Cheerful Christmas Elf Helpers, with 2 elves among a Santa hat, string lights, and tiny trees, holds plenty of small shapes for a garland.

Begin this coloring activity with the elves in red and green, then cut them, the hat, the little trees, and the lights out as separate pieces.

Clip them along a length of twine with mini clothespins, the easy end of this coloring challenge, alternating elves and trees.

Space them evenly so the coloring adventure hangs in a gentle curve.

By December it is strung across a doorway with the rest of the decorations.

Friendly Farm Animals sets 2 cows and a chicken in a calm field below the logo, enough to cut into a small matching game.

Print the page twice and spend the coloring time on both sets the same way, so every animal has a true pair.

Cut the animals out and flip them face down on the table.

Younger fans turn 2 over at a time to find a match, a bit of relaxing coloring that doubles as a game.

Mysterious Glowing Herobrine stands tall and eerie, drawn like Steve but with blank white eyes, a silhouette and a slightly spooky coloring adventure.

This coloring activity uses Steve's browns and teal but leaves the 2 eyes white, then cut the figure out as one solid shape with the eyes as holes.

Tape a thin stick to the back as a handle for the coloring challenge.

Switch off the lights and shine a flashlight from behind so the shape lands on the wall and the eyes glow through.

Late one evening we propped a lamp behind him, and the blank eyes threw a shape that made the room go quiet.

Diamond Armor Steve gives a clean outline of Steve in his full diamond plate, the kind of big simple shapes this coloring project turns into a dress-up doll.

This creative coloring puts the armor in diamond cyan with silver edges for the shine, and Steve is the base figure once he is cut out.

Trace a second copy of the armor pieces, the helmet, chestplate, leggings, and boots, onto separate paper and cut those out too.

Add a small folded tab to each piece so it hooks over the matching part of the figure.

Swap the diamond set for a plain outfit, or color a spare set in gold or iron for the next round of coloring fun.

Steve gears up and strips back down as often as a kid likes.

There is something calm about Gentle Sniffer on a Walk, the ancient mob ambling past pixel flowers, that suits a labeled nature chart.

This coloring activity colors the Sniffer in its rusty reddish-brown with a leafy green ridge along the back, then leaves a wide margin around the scene.

Draw thin lines out to the margin, the calm part of this coloring time, and name its parts: the snuffling snout, the leaf ridge, and the blocky legs.

Add a line out to a pixel flower for the ancient seeds it sniffs up.

Naming every part turns the page into a small field guide, a gentle coloring challenge of its own.

Pixel Santa Riding a Sleigh, a blocky Santa under a logo wearing its own Santa hat, cuts down into a topper and a quick bit of coloring fun.

Color Santa in red and white with a brown sleigh, then cut the sleigh and Santa out as one piece.

Fold a small tab at the base and tape it to the top of a gift so the sleigh sits up like it just landed.

This creative coloring rides on top of a present instead of hiding inside the wrapping.

Birthday Bash with Steve and Alex, the two of them in party hats under a pixel Happy Birthday sign, wraps around a small favor box for the table.

Start this coloring activity with Steve in teal and Alex in her green shirt, then fold a small box from a card stock template.

Glue the page around the 4 sides so Steve and Alex face out, quick work after the coloring time.

Cut the Happy Birthday sign into a strip and glue it across the lid, the finishing touch of the coloring adventure.

Each box holds a small favor and sends it home with a guest.

Steve Battles the Skeleton sends Steve leaping sword-first at a bone-white skeleton across a blocky ridge, an action pose that spins well on a wheel.

This coloring project puts Steve in teal and blue and the skeleton in bone white and gray, then cut the round scene out as a circle.

A round of relaxing coloring done, pin it through the center with a brass fastener onto a slightly larger cardboard disc.

Cut a paper arrow and slide it onto the same fastener so it points as the top disc turns.

On the rim behind, write battle moves or dares that show through a small window, the trick that turns the coloring challenge into a game.

It spun more smoothly than expected, which, given our history with brass fasteners, was a low bar to clear.

Tiny Baby Zombie, all large square head and stubby body with its arms held out, is already drawn in squares, which makes it a natural mosaic.

Turn this creative coloring into a craft by coloring the skin green and the torn shirt teal, then cutting it into a grid of small even squares.

Glue each square onto a fresh sheet, the patient part of this coloring activity, leaving a thin gap so the lines read like pixels.

The first time, we lost the order halfway through the coloring fun and rebuilt the face by eye.

It came out even blockier, which for a zombie was exactly right.

Steve on a Tall Desert Camel, the saddled camel up on its long pixel legs with Steve riding across the sand, laminates into a desert placemat.

Spend the coloring time on a sandy tan camel with a colored saddle, then trim the page to a tidy rectangle and round the 4 corners.

Laminate the coloring project, or sandwich it between clear contact paper, and wipe it down after meals.

It holds a spot at the table through every spill.

Mighty Flying End Boss closes the set with the Ender Dragon in full flight, wings stretched wide beneath the logo, a coloring challenge shaped for moving air.

Begin this coloring adventure with the dragon in charcoal black, a purple glow at the head, and gray wing membranes, then cut it out.

Roll a wide strip of card stock into an open cylinder and tape the dragon across the front so the wings spread past both edges.

Tape several long streamers of purple and black crepe paper inside the bottom rim for the tail.

Punch 2 holes at the top, thread string through both, and hang it near an open window or a fan.

The largest craft in the set took two of us and most of a roll of tape, and this Minecraft coloring page still lifts and turns with every passing breeze.
