Airplane Coloring Pages

These airplane coloring pages show the aircraft kids see at airports and in picture books: a passenger jet flying through clouds, a jet taking off from a runway, a small propeller plane, a vintage biplane doing a loop, a seaplane landing on a lake, a cargo plane, a jumbo jet at the gate and a folded paper airplane. A pilot waving from a cockpit window is there too. Every aircraft is drawn from the side, with wings, a tail fin and windows or a cockpit.

Easy pages, such as the paper airplane, the propeller plane and the pilot, use big plain shapes and suit ages 3 to 7. Airport scenes with a control tower, a luggage cart or a boarding stair have many small areas for ages 6 to 10, and the world-tour and cargo pages suit the oldest kids. The planes carry no airline names, logos or numbers, so children can invent their own.

Useful facts for a lesson: a biplane has two wings stacked one above the other, a seaplane lands on floats instead of wheels, and a propeller plane pulls itself through the air with a spinning propeller at the front. Ask which wing shape each plane has, or where this one is flying to. Pages print on US Letter or A4 paper and are free for home and classroom use.
