George Washington Coloring Pages (Free PDF Printables)

George Washington’s always had a special place in my heart—could be that iconic powdered wig, or the way his serious smirk on the dollar bill perks me up whenever I fish one out of my purse. So, naturally, I got a little carried away and whipped up 30 George Washington coloring pages for anyone else who’s secretly fascinated by the guy who chopped down cherry trees (or didn’t—history’s still arguing about that one).

These aren’t just any coloring pages; they’re a chance to scribble some life into the first president and maybe even learn a thing or two while you’re at it.

Growing up, I’d spend hours doodling historical figures in the margins of my notebooks—Washington was a favorite because you could go wild with his coat buttons and that fancy hat.

Now, I’m sharing that fun with you through these designs, packed with everything from Mount Vernon sketches to him crossing the Delaware like the rockstar he was. Got kids who need a break from screens, or are you just itching for a relaxing afternoon with a cup of coffee and some crayons? These George Washington coloring pages are calling your name.

Oh, and getting your hands on them? Couldn’t be simpler. I’ve bundled all 30 into one neat PDF for each—sized just right for US letter or A4 paper, no fussing required.

Click any image you like, and boom, it’ll pop up in a new tab ready to download—or hit the print button I’ve added for those “I need this now” moments. Grab your markers or pencils, and let’s bring a little revolutionary spirit to life, one page at a time—perfect for framing, gifting, or keeping the little ones busy when the weather turns gray.
