Looking to infuse some kitchen fun into your next afternoon? Check out this list of our best potato coloring pages, which are totally free! We have everything from whole spuds to crispy wedges, creamy mash, and even a few cheerfully dressed up little characters who also have their hands full doing a few little kitchen jobs too.
We love anything with potatoes as part of them! Whether your kids will be having a blast working on our printable food coloring sheets or if you’re looking for a vegetable-themed activity, then these printable pages can’t go amiss!
Start off easy with the little guy baking his potato…or perhaps try the little chap who has his hands full peeling a spud (he’s actually a little bit smaller but looks pretty cute!).
Free Printable Potato Coloring Pages
Grab your favorite free printable potato coloring pages below, open up the PDF files, and choose how many colorable sheets you want to print for kids or students.
Crayons are great for large areas of color, but try using colored pencils to fill in the curl of the potatoes’ peels or rosemary needles and other little details surrounding their dishes.
Choosing Colors for Potato Coloring Pages
You don’t need an entire pencil collection. You’ll probably just need some browns, yellows, and greens to tackle most of those foods, and maybe some brighter colors if you want to add extra flair to your character accessory designs!
1. Start with Earthy Potato Skins
Go for a light tan, with some browns on the edge to give them some definition. You can give them ‘eyes’ too, but you can ignore those if you like.
They look nice alongside the vegetable peeler; just make sure your pencil isn’t too heavy when drawing them, as their skin needs to be uneven!
2. Give Cooked Potatoes a Golden Finish
The pale yellows are right in the center of the baking tray, while warm golds create that nice crispy edge of the wedges as they roast; just add a little orange for extra toasty bits!
3. Keep Mash and Cut Sides Light
Some of that white paper stays visible through the mashed potatoes, with a little cream or pale yellow underneath the spoon and around the bowl.
Try this gentle shading when you draw the cut potato on the board too.
4. Add Color Around the Spuds
First off, color the garden basket with a nice warm brown shade of paint. Then give the potato plant leaves some green. You can also use green to draw that rosemary sprig next to those little tubers.
The perfect dish to balance out all that butter is one with blue on it, obviously! Grab your favorite potato coloring pages from above, grab your pencils, and see who wants to tackle the dish first!
