There is something kind of magical about watching the batter bubble in the pan and, all of a sudden, a golden pancake pops up ready to be stacked. That is why I had so much fun coloring this tower: I took my time so every layer would look tasty.
The nice thing about pancake coloring pages is that there is no single recipe. You can use pencils, markers or watercolors, and each material gives the syrup and the butter a different texture. Go ahead and experiment, because that is how you find your own style as an artist.
I gathered pancakes of every kind: super tall stacks, some with a smiling face, others surrounded by strawberries and even one with wings up in the clouds. Pick the one that tempts you the most and start coloring.
And when you finish your artwork, remember that here at Coloring Together we have a gallery to show off the best pieces, like the window of a bakery where everyone stops to look. Share yours and make everybody's mouth water!

Why color pancake pictures?
Pancakes are one of the oldest and most loved foods on the planet. They are made with really simple ingredients, flour, eggs and milk, and yet almost every culture has its own version. So coloring them is also a way to travel with your imagination.
While you choose the golden tone of the batter or the red of the strawberries, your hand slowly relaxes and your mind focuses only on the drawing. It is a calm little moment, a bit like cooking, where the only thing that matters is enjoying what you are doing.
We also added plenty of fun facts about pancakes so you learn new things while you paint. Shall we fill these treats with color?
