Free Earth Day Color by Number Printables for Kids

Earth Day color by number printables have been a favorite in our house for introducing both number recognition and simple environmental lessons.

When my son was younger, he loved seeing the hidden pictures come to life with each color.

These printable pages quickly became one of our go-to Earth Day activities—not just for keeping hands busy, but for starting real conversations about why we recycle, plant trees, and take care of our planet.

A set of four Earth Day-themed color-by-number worksheets, each featuring a different environmental design. The top left shows the Earth with blue oceans and green continents, the top right features hands holding the Earth, the bottom left displays a recycling symbol, and the bottom right has a peace symbol within a leafy background. Each worksheet includes a color key with numbers assigned to colors like blue, green, yellow, brown, and pink. Decorative beaded necklaces and a box of Crayola crayons are used as props around the pages. Text on the image reads: "FREE EARTH DAY COLOR BY NUMBER."
