Coloring pages

This is the coloring section of Talerie, a free library of fairy tales, fables and legends. The pictures are sorted into categories by subject, from dragons and mermaids to Halloween and Christmas, and a single sheet often turns up in more than one of them.

Each category mixes two kinds of drawing. Simple sheets have a thick outline and big shapes, made for children of about two to four, while classic sheets carry more detail for steadier hands. The easy page collects every simple sheet in one place.

Any sheet prints straight from its page, or downloads as a free A4 PDF to save for later. Every printout carries a small QR code. On sheets drawn from a story it opens that tale on Talerie; on all the others it opens the home page.

The artwork is licensed CC BY-NC 4.0, so the sheets can be printed for home, preschool or the classroom as often as needed. What the license does not allow is commercial use, such as selling the sheets or printing them into a product.
