That’s right, coloring pages for teens. And no, this isn’t some cheesy or baseless gimmick. Coloring pages are not just for kids learning to color inside the lines or adults looking to find some zen by joining the adult coloring book craze. No, teens can also benefit from the calming effects of taking some time to embrace their creativity and chill out with some coloring pages. And so, we compiled some of the best free coloring pages for teens.
These are not just any coloring pages. For the most part, teens and Gen Z are leaning toward a specific type of coloring page. TikTok is filled with videos of teens relaxing with coloring books that feature bold and oversized designs rather than the more intricate designs that Millennials gravitated toward. And instead of grabbing coloring pencils, they tend to reach for alcohol markers. These images give off bubble letter vibes, and artists shouldn’t let the wide open spaces make them think these designs are meant to turn out “simple” or are for younger kids. In fact, teens are encouraged to add their own designs to the images.
Whether you are a parent looking to score some points by printing out these free coloring pages and gifting them to your teen, or a tween looking for some free coloring pages to fulfill your need for a creative outlet and self-care, we have the best teen coloring pages for you to download and print. And did we mention they’re free?
