I’m always looking for free printable coloring pages. I’ve learned that coloring is significantly cheaper than therapy and so relaxing, so I try to make time for coloring at least once per week. It’s good for the soul.
Of course, coloring books can get expensive quickly. That’s why I rely on printables from the Internet!
Recently, someone sent me a link to a really cool program. Museums around the world are turning their collections into free printable coloring pages! This inspired me to search out other unique free printable coloring pages, which is why I assembled this list.
I hope you enjoy coloring these as much as I do!
