The Colors of Grief: Free Coloring Pages for Kids

Big feelings are hard to put into words, especially for children. The Colors of Grief is a set of twenty gentle coloring pages, plus a cover, for children who are grieving. Each page has a comforting message, and several have open spaces for a child to draw a memory or write a name.

Why coloring can help: coloring gives restless hands something calm to do, and sitting side by side with a crayon often opens the door to gentle conversations about the person they miss. Print a few for a quiet bag at the funeral, or color together at home.

Every page is free, with no email or sign-up needed. Tap any page to download it. Each one is a separate, printable PDF.
