15 Free August Coloring Pages for Kids (Free Printable PDFs)

August is the “Sunday Evening” of summer—a mix of golden hour joy and the quiet anticipation of the routines ahead.

If you are searching for inclusive coloring pages that help bridge the gap between summer freedom and school structure, this collection of August coloring pages is designed to be your family’s pause button.

A Note from Louisa (Founder of MyKidColors)

August feels heavy, doesn’t it? It’s that transitional time where the air feels different. There is this rushed pressure to squeeze in “last chance summer memories” before the season ends, but my motivation is dipping. I’m tired, even if my kids are still ready to go, go, go.

This August brings a different kind of feeling for us. Last year, I was a bundle of nerves sending my son to Junior Kindergarten (JK). This time around, as I prepare for Senior Kindergarten (SK), I feel a little relief and excitement. We know the drill now. But even with that relief, I feel the weight of the routine coming back.

Less searching. More MEANINGFUL moments.

When kids recognize themselves on the page, coloring changes.

The Inclusive Family Coloring Collection includes 25 human-drawn illustrations centered on everyday moments — designed to make inclusion feel normal, joyful, and intentional.

Because representation shouldn’t be reserved for one month.

GET IT FOR $7

I anticipate that we need connection, rest, and an emotional reset before the school bus pulls up. That is why I created this collection.

I want my kids to feel blessed, thankful, and grateful for the summer they had, but I also want us to slow down. These pages are our invitation to sit, breathe, and just “be” before the rush begins.

Conversation Corner: 3 Questions to Ask While Coloring

Turn this activity into a bonding moment. While your child colors, try asking these questions:

For the “Back to School” Page (Page 12): “Look at the child with the backpack. How are you feeling about your first day back? Are you more excited or a little nervous like I was last year?”
For the “Family Picnic” (Page 9): “We made so many memories this summer. If you could put your favorite memory in a jar to keep forever, which one would it be?”
For the “Sunflowers” (Page 4): “Sunflowers grow so tall in August. Do you feel like you grew taller this summer too?”

Every page was hand-drawn by real illustrators of color to capture specific moments—like the mix of joy and nerves on a first day of school—so your child feels seen in their everyday play.
