Coloring tips
How to color a taxi
Yellow is the most-recognised taxi colour worldwide — fill the body with bright yellow and add black-and-white checker stripes along the bottom. A 'TAXI' sign on the roof is a simple rectangle filled black with white letters. Don't forget a passenger in the back seat to give the page a small story.

Step-by-step
How to color this taxi
Five short steps that work for any age. Crayons, colored pencils and markers all work — pick whichever your child reaches for first.
Print the page
Save the taxi coloring page to your device, then print it on standard letter or A4 paper. Thicker paper (around 90 gsm or 60 lb) handles markers without bleed-through; regular printer paper is fine for crayons and colored pencils.
Pick the body color
Real road vehicles come in every color — red, blue, black, silver, white are the most common. Fill the whole body of the car or bus with one even base, leaving windows for the next step.
Color the windows and trim
Use a pale blue or soft gray for the windows so they read as glass. Mirrors, door handles and chrome bumpers look best in plain silver-gray. Headlights stay yellow or white.
Wheels and road
Tires should be solid black with a contrasting rim (silver or white). A thin gray ribbon of road under the wheels and a yellow dashed center line gives the page a finished feel.
Finishing touches
When the colors are where you want them, trace the main outlines with a thin black pen to make the taxi pop off the page. Date the back, snap a photo for the family album, then stick the finished page on the fridge.
What you'll need
A quick supplies checklist
Don't have everything? A printer, a piece of paper and a single crayon is enough to get started. The rest is optional.
Printer
Color or black-and-white both work. Set the print size to 'fit to page' and use letter or A4 paper.
Paper
Standard 20 lb (75 gsm) printer paper for crayons; 60+ lb (90+ gsm) for markers so the ink doesn't bleed.
Crayons
Best for ages 3-5 — forgiving on small hands, no smearing, and bright enough to feel finished in minutes.
Colored pencils
Best for ages 6+ and adults — perfect for shading, blending and the detailed pattern variants.
Markers
Bold, fast results. Pair with heavier paper so the ink stays on the page and doesn't soak through.

Car coloring pages
The car is the most familiar vehicle in any kid's life — the one the family climbs into every morning. A coloring-page car is usually drawn from the side: four wheels, a long body, two windows and a single door visible. The simplicity of the shape makes it perfect for very young children just learning what a vehicle looks like.
Bus coloring pages
A bus is the longest road vehicle most kids ever ride in. Coloring-page buses come in all flavours — city buses, double-deckers, tour buses — but they all share the same recognisable shape: a long rectangle on wheels with a row of windows down the side and a single door near the front.
School bus coloring pages
The school bus is the most iconic kid-vehicle on the road — instantly recognisable by its bright yellow body and the swinging stop sign on the side. School-bus pages are full of comforting routine for any child who rides one to school: rows of windows, the big door at the front, the flashing red lights on top.
Police car coloring pages
A police car is the everyday-shaped car of the emergency family — same four wheels and four windows as a family car, but with flashing blue-and-red lights on the roof and 'POLICE' written down the side. The familiar shape makes the page approachable for very young kids; the lights and lettering make it instantly recognisable as a police car.
Truck coloring pages
A truck is the workhorse of the road — bigger than a car, with a cab in front and a long cargo bed or trailer behind. Trucks deliver almost everything kids own: their toys, their food, the clothes on their backs. The boxy shape is forgiving to colour and the wheels are big enough to make a visual statement on their own.
Motorcycle coloring pages
A motorcycle is a car cut in half — two wheels, one rider, an engine in the middle. The compact shape and exposed engine make motorcycles one of the most detailed road vehicles to colour. Every part is on display: the gas tank, the seat, the handlebars, the exhaust pipes, the brake lines.
