Coloring tips
How to color letter i
Capital I is a straight vertical line, sometimes drawn with short horizontal bars at the top and bottom (like a tiny dumbbell). Colour the bars one shade and the long stroke another. Lowercase 'i' is a short line with a single dot on top — the perfect chance for kids to add a coloured 'cherry' on top.

Letter A coloring pages
The first letter of the alphabet and the start of many of the words kids learn first. Letter A pages give children a friendly entry into reading — the triangle-and-crossbar shape is easy to recognise, copy and colour inside. Pair it with apples, ants or airplanes and the page works as a phonics lesson too.
Letter E coloring pages
Letter E is the most common letter in the entire English language — over one in every ten letters in any book or sign is an E. The capital looks like a comb on its side with three short bars, which gives kids three different sections to play with when colouring.
Letter O coloring pages
Letter O is the perfect circle — the most symmetrical letter in the alphabet and one of the easiest to draw. Even toddlers can recognise an O at a glance. O pages give kids a huge round space to colour, decorate, or turn into something else: a planet, a face, a doughnut, a wheel.
Letter L coloring pages
Letter L is shaped like a tiny corner — one straight line down and a short flat bar at the bottom. It's one of the easiest letters to draw in capital form, but lowercase 'l' is famously easy to confuse with capital I or the digit 1. L starts plenty of friendly kid-words: lion, lemon, lamp, ladybug.
Letter J coloring pages
Letter J is the alphabet's curling hook — a tall line that swings down into a curve at the bottom. It looks like a fishing rod or a cane. J appears in fewer words than most letters, which makes finding a J-word a fun little challenge for kids working through the alphabet.
Letter B coloring pages
The second letter in the alphabet, and one of the first sounds babies learn to make. Letter B pages tend to be especially popular because so many beloved kid-words start with B — ball, bear, baby, banana. The two bumps of the capital B give kids a clean, symmetrical shape to colour.
