Science Coloring Pages: 30 Kid Scientist Scenes with Magnets, Light, Circuits and Simple Machines
The same two cartoon kids, a girl and a boy, turn up on every page, usually at a cluttered science table, looking through lenses and playing with magnets, light, measuring tools and simple machines. Each of the 30 scenes has a numbered color version.

These science coloring pages star two cartoon kids, a girl with a ponytail and a boy with curly hair, who appear together on every page. Indoors they wear white lab coats, they have safety goggles on in most scenes, and they look closely at leaves, rocks, magnets, light and little machines. Each of the 30 landscape pages is one scene with a numbered title, such as “07 / Magnet and clips,” and one short sentence underneath.
Five groups of six scenes
| Pages | What’s in front of the kids |
|---|---|
| 1–6 | A hand lens over a leaf, a microscope, a tray of sorted rocks, big crystals, feathers under a magnifier, and a telescope pointed at a crescent moon at night |
| 7–12 | A horseshoe magnet with paper clips, a compass on a map outdoors, a battery wired to a light bulb, a small electric fan, a balloon over paper scraps, and a coil on a stand holding clips |
| 13–18 | A prism throwing a rainbow onto a screen, a mirror, a shadow box with a star cutout, red, blue and green filter paddles, a cardboard periscope, and a straw in a glass of water |
| 19–24 | A pan balance, rulers, a measuring cylinder, a spring scale, a pendulum with a stopwatch, and two thermometers standing in beakers |
| 25–30 | A plank on a pivot, a pulley lifting a basket, a toy car on a ramp, a pair of gears with a crank, a wheel and axle, and a tuning fork beside a drum |
The pictures are the point
The objects are drawn large and clear in the middle of each scene, so the battery and bulb on page 9 or the gears on page 28 read easily even before they’re colored. The sentence under each picture names the idea, for instance that a compass needle lines up with a magnetic field, without walking through how to set anything up.
Behind the kids there’s always more to fill: hanging plants, stacked books, globes, posters of atoms and leaves, and windows onto trees. Two scenes move outdoors, with mountains and a tent behind the rock sorting and a signpost and a lake behind the compass. The telescope page is the only night scene, a dark sky with stars and a crescent moon.
Color references and printing
The color file uses warm orange tables, sky-blue walls, lots of green leaves and purple and teal shirts under the lab coats. Print the line art at Actual Size in landscape and only switch to Fit to printable area if an edge gets cut off. US Letter and A4 hold the same 30 scenes, so choose the paper your printer takes.
Questions
- Do the pages explain the science?
- Only briefly. Each page has a numbered title and one plain sentence under the picture, such as "A fixed pulley changes the direction of a pull." There are no labels inside the drawings and no step-by-step instructions; the start-here notes call them coloring illustrations.
- How busy are the pictures?
- Busy. The kids are drawn with big eyes and simple faces, but the backgrounds are packed with potted plants, bookshelves, windows and jars, so most pages have lots of small shapes around the main objects.
