Print gives a blank worksheet, and the colored answer key on page 2 when that box is ticked. Colors you fill in on screen stay on screen. By keyboard: the arrow keys move around the grid, Enter colors a square, a digit colors it by that number and Backspace clears it.

How it works

Every Easter color by number printable here is a pixel picture: a grid of numbered squares that turns into a decorated egg, a bunny or a hot cross bun. There are 8, each in two sizes.

What is in the Easter set

In More options, three groups hold the 8 pictures: Egg hunt and parade (Decorated egg, Basket, Bonnet), Easter animals (Bunny, Chick, Lamb) and Easter table (Carrot, Hot cross bun). Under Size, every Easy 12 by 12 key stays inside the basic box of 8 crayons. Every Detailed 24 by 24 grid adds a color from outside that box: pink and light blue each appear in 6 of the 8 detailed keys.

White shapes on white paper

A lamb is white, and so is the paper. White squares print empty, so the Lamb stands under a full blue sky. Pupils color the sky, the grass, the black face and the legs, and the fleece appears by itself. The Bunny's 2 front teeth work the same way.

  • For an egg hunt, pupils color and cut out easy Decorated egg sheets, then hide them around the room.
  • Printing the Lamb? Tick Put 0 in the white squares in More options, and each fleece square prints a 0 to skip.
  • Each prints on one page of Letter or A4. Untick Answer key on page 2 under More options to skip the key.

Questions and answers

Which Easter picture is quickest to color?

The Carrot: 66 squares on the easy grid and 252 on the detailed one. The Hot cross bun takes longest at both sizes, 112 and 448. For pictures without the holiday, print the spring pixel pictures.

How many crayons does each Easter sheet need?

Easy grids need 3 to 5: the Carrot only green, orange and brown, the Decorated egg, Basket, Bonnet and Chick 5 each. Detailed grids run from 3 colors, for the brown, pink and black Bunny, to 8 for the Basket.

Why is a hot cross bun in an Easter set?

It is an Easter food in Britain and other Commonwealth countries: a spiced bun with currants and a cross on top, eaten by tradition on Good Friday. Here the crust is brown, the cross yellow and the currants black.

Easter animals 3

  • Bunny A rabbit's face from the front with tall ears, 2 black eyes and 2 white front teeth left blank. The easy grid has orange inner ears and a red nose.

Detailed: 3 colors, 340 squares to color.
  • Chick A yellow chick with black eyes and an orange beak, sitting in the bottom half of a dyed eggshell with a cracked zigzag edge. The easy shell is blue with a purple stripe.

  • Lamb A lamb standing on green grass under a blue sky with a yellow sun in the corner. The fleece is never colored: it is the white paper, and it appears once the sky, the grass and the black face and legs are filled in. The detailed grid has a light blue sky, gray curls in the fleece, a pink ear and 2 pink flowers. Easy: 4 colors, 101 squares to color. Detailed: 6 colors, 419 squares to color.

Easter table 2

How this list was compiled: Our own pixel pictures, drawn square by square for this site on 12 by 12 and 24 by 24 grids. Nothing is traced, scanned or copied from clip art, and no character from a film, show, book, game or brand appears. The color and square counts in each description were counted from the finished grids. The facts about the egg, the basket, the bonnet and the hot cross bun were checked against Wikipedia in September 2026 and are told in our own words. Licence: own work
