There’s a certain magic to summer afternoons that nothing else quite matches — long light, sticky popsicles, the smell of sunscreen, the sound of someone splashing in a pool down the street. Coloring is one of the simplest ways to keep that feeling close, whether you’ve got an hour to fill on a hot day or a quiet ten minutes with a cold drink.
This free pack has 21+ summer coloring pages ready to print and color in — ice creams, beach scenes, watermelon slices, sunglasses, tropical florals, palm trees, popsicles, and a few sun-soaked extras. The line work is clean enough for younger kids to color confidently, and detailed enough that adults can settle into them with a glass of iced coffee and a set of colored pencils.

Frequently Asked Questions About Summer Coloring Pages
What’s included in the free summer coloring pack?
The free pack has 21+ printable summer coloring pages in one PDF — ice cream cones, popsicles, watermelon, beach scenes, palm trees, sunglasses, flip flops, tropical florals, and a handful of mixed summer-themed designs. Every page is high-resolution and prints at A4 or US Letter size.
How do I download the free coloring pages?
Drop your email into the form on this post and the download link lands in your inbox a minute or two later. If it doesn’t show up, check your promotions or spam folder — sometimes the first email hides there. Adding info@artsydee.com to your contacts keeps future printables coming to your main inbox.
Are these coloring pages for kids or adults?
Both. The line work is bold and forgiving for younger kids to color with crayons or markers, and the designs have enough small details (ice cream sprinkles, palm fronds, sunglass reflections) that adults can take their time with colored pencils or fine-liners. The simpler pages work well for toddlers; the more detailed ones suit older kids and grown-ups.
What’s the best paper to print them on?
For everyday coloring with crayons, pencils, or markers, regular 100–120gsm printer paper is fine. If you’re using alcohol markers (like Copics or
What’s the best way to color them in?
Anything you have on hand works. Crayons and markers are friendliest for kids; colored pencils give the most control if you want to build up layers of summer colors (sunset oranges, sea blues, watermelon pinks). Gel pens and fine-liners are great for adding sparkle to ice cream sprinkles or detail on tropical florals. For a more painterly feel, try a wash of liquid watercolor or watered-down acrylics on heavier paper.
Can I print these in bulk for a classroom or summer camp?
Yes — print as many copies as you need for personal, classroom, or summer camp use. They’re great for end-of-year activity packs, library summer reading programs, rainy-day camp activities, kids’ birthday parties, and quiet-time bundles for travel or restaurant outings.
Can I sell things I make with these coloring pages?
Original pieces you color in are yours to keep, gift, or sell as one-of-a-kind artwork. The pages themselves can’t be resold, redistributed, or built into printable products you sell. If you want a commercial license to use the line work directly in templates, kits, or client projects, that’s included with The Vault at £45/month.
Where can I find more coloring pages and printable templates?
A new set of drawing, coloring, and watercolour templates drops every Monday inside Patreon — seasonal scenes, florals, animals, and tropical motifs. Tier 2 unlocks the full back-catalogue plus the weekly new release, so the 21+ summer pages here are a small taste of what’s available year-round.
