If you're looking for a fun and educational way to help your little ones learn the alphabet, you're in the right place! These free printable alphabet coloring pages feature adorable cartoon animals from A to Z—perfect for preschoolers, kindergarteners, or any young learner just starting to explore letters.
Each page combines a bold, easy-to-color upper and lowercase letter with a cute animal whose name starts with that letter, turning early literacy into an engaging, hands-on activity.
Coloring isn't just a creative outlet—it also supports the development of fine motor skills, letter recognition, and vocabulary building.
As children color in each letter and its matching animal, they’re naturally reinforcing important pre-reading skills in a way that feels like play.
Whether you are a parent, teacher, or homeschooler, these pages are a versatile resource you can use during quiet time, circle time, or as part of your weekly letter-of-the-week curriculum.
Try these animal alphabet coloring pages if you are looking for a great activity that your kids will love. Be sure to check out all of our Free Printables for Kids for even more ideas!
Ways to Use Animal Alphabet Coloring Pages
There are so many creative ways to use these free printable alphabet coloring pages beyond just coloring!
Try introducing one letter and animal each day as part of your morning routine or circle time. You can talk about the animal’s name, the sound the letter makes, and even add in a fun fact or video about that animal to make it a mini themed lesson.
If you're working on a letter-of-the-week approach, these pages make a great centerpiece for that too—just pair the printable with books, songs, or crafts related to the featured animal.
Another fun idea is to turn the entire set into a custom ABC coloring book. Print and staple the pages together, or punch holes and use a binder to create a keepsake your child can look through and color over time.
You can also laminate the pages and use them with dry-erase markers for repeated practice.
For classrooms or homeschool groups, they work great as literacy center activities or take-home practice.
No matter how you use them, these coloring pages make learning letters feel fun, friendly, and full of personality!
