New Monster Coloring Pages for Everyday Scenes

Five new sheets join the collection, and this time the monsters are busy with everyday things: a haircut at the barber shop, storytime in a big armchair, a six-armed monster juggling groceries, a furry visitor in an open doorway, and two monsters sharing a picnic with very curious ants. The scenes keep large open shapes for young colorists and finer details for older ones. Each sheet prints as a PDF in A4.

Two horned monsters in a barber shop: one sits in the salon chair under a cape while the other trims its hair with comb and scissors, next to a trolley with a bottle and shaving brush. Children colour in the monsters, the chair and all the barber tools.

A big horned monster sits in an armchair reading an open book aloud while a small spotted monster listens from a round cushion. Children colour the two monsters, the chair, the book and the cushion in any colours they like.

A grinning horned monster with six arms tosses an apple, a banana and a pear into the air while holding a carrot, a loaf of bread and broccoli. Children colour the food items and the friendly monster in bright shades.

A grinning horned monster with shaggy fur pushes open a door and steps into a room with an armchair, a side table, a stack of books and a potted plant. Children colour the fur, the door and the whole cosy room.

Two friendly monsters sit on a checked picnic blanket holding big sandwiches, with a woven basket behind them and three cheerful ants carrying crumbs. Children colour the blanket squares, the sandwich layers and each monster in their own shades.

Tips and Tricks for Coloring These Sheets

Experiment with Colors: Don’t limit yourself to traditional colors. Monsters can be any color you imagine – vibrant purples, electric blues, or even multicolored!

Textures and Shading: Add depth to your monster by experimenting with shading and textures. Use light and dark shades to create a 3D effect, especially around the edges and in creases.

Mixing Media: Combine different mediums like crayons, markers, and colored pencils. Markers can provide a solid base color, while colored pencils are great for shading and adding details.

Embrace Imperfections: Monsters are unique and often imperfect creatures. Don’t worry about going outside the lines or making mistakes – it adds character!

Background Magic: Don’t forget the background. A spooky or whimsical background can set the scene for your monster.

Use Highlights: Add highlights to areas like the eyes, teeth, or scales to make your monster pop. A white gel pen or a light-colored pencil can be great for this.

Get Inspired: Look at pictures of mythical creatures or other artwork for inspiration, but remember to make your monster uniquely yours.

Take Your Time: Enjoy the process and don’t rush. Spend time on small details which can make a big difference in the overall look.

Create a Story: While coloring, think of a story about your monster. What’s its name? Where does it live? This can inspire unique color choices.

Have Fun!: Most importantly, have fun with it. Let your imagination run wild, and enjoy the creative process.
