It’s time to settle down with your favorite cup of tea or coffee while having fun with our free almond coloring pages, perfect if you want to grab some crayons and get creative.
From basic shapes like outlined nuts to more complex illustrations, there should be plenty here that keeps little fingers busy on their next quiet afternoon. We’ve got almonds in cracked shells and kernels spilling over a scoop. There are even leafy branches covered in nuts and a slice of cake studded with almonds!
We love how we’ve incorporated everything from a crunchy looking croissant to a cheerful character holding an almond blossom.

Our Favorite Ways to Color Almonds
There aren’t too many things you’ll need for these awesome almond coloring printables.
Set out some browns, some scrap paper, and glue and give these 4 ideas a go with your kids!
1. Give the Shells Some Texture
Once you’ve got this step down pat, ask your child which picture he’d prefer — one with the cracked shell or one that’s smooth? Once he selects his picture, help him color the shell of the almond in tan, and draw some short brown lines all around the outside of the kernel to give it a cracked look (use light and evenly spaced lines for more smoothly colored kernels).
2. Make a Snack Jar Label
Color the almonds in the beautiful storage jar illustration. Cut out one little bit and attach with glue to a piece of card stock that has been folded into a nice rectangular shape.
Write on a little handmade label that you are saving for later use. Then stick on top of your snacking vessel with some tape!
3. Decorate an Almond Branch
Color in your leafy almond branch using 2 different shades of green. Press lightly in some places (for light areas) and hard in others (edges). Then use browns for the nuts…leaving a bit of white around to give highlights.
The branch looks especially nice painted on a pale blue background (it looks really nice on your frig!).
4. Color a Dessert Menu
Let your kids choose between an almond-topped cake or croissant to color in golden brown before they design their own pattern on the plate. Then glue the final painting onto folded paper and get them to come up with a café name and write down a dessert menu!
