11 Frog Coloring Pages to Print for Free!

Animals

No frog was born a frog. Every one of them started out as a tiny egg in the water, then became a tadpole with a tail that swam like a fish, and little by little grew legs until it could hop out of the pond. That is why we put together these frog coloring pages: to follow one of the most amazing animals on the planet up close.

Across these sheets you will meet frogs of every kind: a big frog with bright eyes, a tree frog clinging to a branch, one holding a flower bigger than itself, and even the full life cycle from egg to grown-up frog. Pick the one you like best and color it with pencils, markers or watercolors, because each one looks lovely.

When your frog is finished, here at Coloring Together we are waiting for you in the gallery, that shared pond where the frogs from the whole community come together.

Why color frog pictures?

Frogs are amphibians, which means they spend part of their life in the water and part on land. They breathe through their skin as well as their lungs, so they always need to stay moist. Coloring them is a gentle way to start understanding why we should take care of the ponds, lakes and rivers where they live.

While you decide whether your frog will be green, yellow or a bright red like the real poison frogs, you are quietly training your steady hand and your patience. It is an activity that relaxes and focuses you at the same time.

And so you learn even more, we added a bunch of fun facts about frogs that will surprise you. That way, every finished sheet leaves you a lovely drawing and something new to share.

Learn while coloring Frogs

Frogs do not drink water with their mouths: they soak it up through their skin. They have a patch on their belly, called the drinking patch, where they take in the water they need.
Many frogs can jump more than twenty times their own body length. If you could do the same, you would clear an entire sports field in a single leap.
Before they are frogs they are tadpoles: they hatch in the water, have a tail and breathe like fish. Over time they grow legs, lose the tail and come out onto land.
The smallest frog in the world measures less than one centimeter, smaller than your fingernail. It lives in Papua New Guinea and is one of the tiniest animals with a backbone.
Brightly colored frogs are often warning that they are poisonous. The flashier the color, the more seriously they should be taken.
Frogs have bulging eyes that stick up from their head and let them see in almost every direction without moving their body, very handy for spotting predators.
In very cold places, some frogs freeze almost solid in winter and come back to life when the warm weather returns, as if nothing had happened.
The croak of frogs is the males calling to the females. Each species has its own sound, and some can be heard more than a kilometer away.
They catch their prey with a sticky tongue that shoots out and snaps back in a fraction of a second, faster than you can blink.
A group of frogs is called an army of frogs. Although they mostly live alone, in the rainy season they gather by the thousands near water to lay their eggs.
Frogs have existed for more than 200 million years, so they were already hopping around in the age of the dinosaurs.
