Dr Seuss - The Lorax Coloring Pictures-to Print-and-Colour

The Lorax Coloring Pages and Colouring Pictures-to Print-and-Colour

We are pleased to ad another set of colouring pictures based on one of the loveable, educational characters fro the Dr Suess books. This set of colouring pictures-to print-and-colour are, The Lorax free colouring pictures-to print-and-colour

All are based on the wonderful characters in books by Theodore Geisel, who's pen name was, Dr. Seuss. These wonderful colouring pictures should be part of your child's early childhood education program.


In The Lorax Dr. Seuss was making us aware of the dangers of not taking care of our environment. He was one of the very first people to publicly voice concern about our environment and taking care of the earth. Basically, long before saving the earth became a global concern, Dr. Seuss, speaking through his character the Lorax, warned against mindless progress and the danger it posed to the earth's natural beauty.

Colouring activity is an important part of any child's early childhood education and development. While some may not see the educational benefit in colouring they are sorely incorrect.  Colouring helps develop and maintain good eye to hand coordination. Colouring allows children to develop self confidence and creativity when they are allowed to color and re-color the same picture with different colour schemes.

Colouring pictures, when tied with the same subject parents are reading about to children develops a child's love of learning. This has the resulting fantastic benefit of teaching the joy and importance of books and reading.


Children engaging in colouring activity with other children, especially mixed boy and girl groups, get a head start on development of social skills and working with others. Children should be given multiple copies of any colouring picture and allowed the freedom to do what ever they want with those colouring sheets.

Children should not be forced to stay with in the lines, especially at the beginning. Even if they turn the sheets over and draw their own pictures it's okay. Let them explore, be creative and develop their own sense of art appreciation. Often you will find it an amazing experience just to provide the materials and then stand back and let them do their own thing. Just be there ready to help when they ask for it.

Putting examples of all types of colouring for display after the children are done, not just the perfect examples, allows children to understand that creativity allows for wide variations and mutations of the same presentation. A valuable concept for children to grasp at a young age.

To access these color picture examples just click on the image you wish to use. The color examples can be enlarged and left on screen as a color guide if desired. Or it can be printed out on your own printer in colour.

The drawing that is not colored is meant for you to enlarge, save to your computer and give to your child. Just click on the drawing you want and it will enlarge.

The using steps appropriate for your own computer, usually a right click with the mouse on the drawing, save to your computer and print out for use by your child.  Please let us know how your child enjoyed The Lorax Colouring Pictures-to Print-and-Colour.

About This Blog

This blog started out as a private blog. The goal was contact and communication with my children as I traveled. Posting fun coloring pages with great colouring pictures to print and colour gave all of us enjoyment.

Now two of three children have grown and left the nest. Two years ago we made our coloring pages public, mostly on Hubpages. Their unreasonable and questionable restrictions of first amendment rights of their members lead to us leaving Hubpages and using the Blogspot / Blogger system.

We hope you get as much enjoyment out of these free coloring pictures and other childhood education materials as we do providing them.
